2nd Test: Australia v West Indies at Melbourne on Dec 26-30, 2015

[The Charlatan]

Siddle is proof that the old adage "It's harder to get out of the Test team than get in," is still applicable today.

Guess the speed for Sids first ball.

128.5 km/h

 

[Twizzle]

126 kph

he'll build up to 128 after a few overs

 

[Timbo]

Boland ahead of Bird is a total joke.

Reckon Bird's plugged someone's missus or something, such a strange decision.

There really is a Santa!

Darsh dropped thank goodness

 

[Timbo]

And that is my best present of the season.

 

[jargan83]

Oh Darsh. Best present ever!

 

[some11]

It's only cause they want to give someone else a go flogging the dead horse.

Then why bring back Khawaja? he already had his turn this summer

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh Darsh. Best present ever!

some of the Wacatards comments have been gold. You'd think Warner was getting the chop.

Zing!!

Wouldn't have minded the selectors dropping Siddle and giving Boland a go - I haven't been super impressed from the admittedly very little I have seen, but it would be good to see how he fares over the course of a test match, and against the WI is the perfect time to give someone else a trial.

Ah well...put me down for 126.1kmph for Sids' first ball! :lol:

 

[Twizzle]

Rightly so

We've looked at him for about 5 years and he's been crap, judging him by his one innings on a flat deck against a pedestrian attack would have been poor from form the selectors.

Now we just need to get rid of Sids.

 

[Twizzle]

gonna piss down for most of the morning and early afternoon, probabaly only get the last session in
