You talk about Warner not earning his spot and throw Hazelwood in as a likely test match bowler. If anyone needs to earn his way it is Hazelwood. I am not doubting his talents but lets be consistent.

The order should've been Bird, Cutting, Hazlewood. Bird and Cutting have been 2 of the best FC bowlers in the last 2 seasons, easily.

(I only suggested Hazlewood because of the potential he has)

Yes but Warner has that same potential and he averaged 50 in first class cricket when he got called up. His technique isn't really that bad. He just need to move his feet more early in his innings.

Can't say I ever watched / followed him in FC, I just really dislike the way he gets out every innings, makes me angry.

I just don't get how players like Steyn / Morkel can play Test after Test and never get injured or have to be rested, but we have to rest our players every couple of tests for some reason, is it a fitness thing? Or are our selectors just geniused.

Probably both.

How much does Healy want to talk up that ball 'classic partnership breaker'.

It was a pie 5 feet outside off! He just stuffed the shot!

I've never seen someone bowl so short on such a consistent basis as Johnson.

Fair dinkum, his stock ball is nothing more than a gentle pie that's pitched no more than about 1/3 of the way down the wicket.

And when he changes things up, its either short and on leg stump or a full toss to 2nd slip.

And this is supposed to be the new and improved Shitchell 2.0.

If you like watching bearded batsmen bat all day stay tuned today. The only way Amla is getting out is if he starts playing too tricky.

He could be a 1000 not out by the end of tomorrow.

LOL

Walking half way to point to flick it to mid-on.

Too easy. As AG said, probably the only way he'll get out.
