Geez we need a spinner, as good as the seamers are this is a pitch for the spinners. 7 of India's wickets were by the spinners, no surprise how many are from ours.

I don't think we have one in Australia that is worthy.

O'Keefe looks alright a better version of Hauritz. Will see how he goes this season in Shield but he went pretty well last season so another season like that could see him jump the queue.

Not getting it on TV here, but why hasn't he bowled North? Bowled him ahead of Hauritz in last one, now behind him, Clarke and Katich??? And given he scored runs, he should be confident...


Magnificent though, 49 test centuries!!

Must be due to his long innings yesterday else put it down to another of Punter's crazy moves.

I seriously doubt he is good enough, we need a wrist spinner. I was hoping Cullen Bailey would come good but I doubt that will happen.

He looked pretty pedestrian in the CLT20, Smith in the same tournament showed more promise. But Boyce is probably our best hope of a leggie until Adam Zampa comes through the ranks for NSW. One thing O'Keefe and Boyce have going for them is they already have a 5 Fer in Shield cricket, Hauritz only just got his first one against Pakistan.

Johnson is the type of bowler you need on this pitch. Add a Bollinger and we look a lot better. Not taking anything away from George who has been economical, more than can be said for Hauritz.

Bailey has looked rubbish but I had high hopes for him, I also think Boyce looks decent but he is a good 2 or 3 years away at best. I can't believe Punter took Johnson straight off after jagging 2 wickets.:crazy:

Lol great move replacing Johnson is turning out to be. Hilfy being spanked now and Hauritz being his usual crappy self.
