3rd test Australia vs England @ Perth - WACA

[aussies1st]

Welcome home Ashes.

 

[Mr Angry]

Back where they belong.

Warney 699 going into Melbourne - awesome.

Time to get a few youngin's in.

Drop Symonds

Rest Lee and perhaps McGrath

Warney stays because he is on 699.

Maybe even rest Gilly and play Haddin.

 

[NPK]

YEEEHAAAH!!!!! Back where they belong THE GREAT MAN ON 699

Yep. Perfectly poised for him to get Pieterson out at the MCG as his 700th wicket.

 

[Timmah]

Australia...

We salute you.

Warney.... 700th on home soil... how sweet it will be.

 

[NPK]

Maybe even rest Gilly and play Haddin.

I'd like to see Gilly stay in to get more batting, especially for the one dayers.

Great scenes at the WACA

 

[aussies1st]

Hussey deserved that.

No one will be dropped or rested. We will be going for the throat and 5-0.

Yeah symonds proved you correct

 

[lockyno1]

Put a young guy at 6, don't really care who really. Cosgrove or White maybe, possibly Voges but I'd rather someone <25 yrs old. Rest/Drop Lee, bring in Tait. Lee's bowling was rubbish again. It came of no surprise that when Lee got taken off we got the wickets. Garbage test bowler most of the time!

 

[Sanchez]

symonds will be given one more shot. the selectors will give him his final final chance

 

[borat]

Yeah symonds proved you correct

If you want to question Symonds place in the team then look at how many tests we have won when he has played, 10 out of 11 won. His role was provide support with the bowling, which he undeniably did with 2 first innings wickets and was able to bowl both spin and medium pace, and chip in with the bat which he didn't do but wasn't required anyway. You keep wanting to compare batting averages for Symonds but he was never selected on batting alone.

IMO the Aussie selectors have decided that for the future they will play 5 batsman, 4 bowlers, a wicketkeeper and an allrounder. ATM Symonds is the best canidate for the allrounder.

symonds only bowled 13 overs for the whole game. he only bowled 9 yesterday and we bowled all day. yes it would be great to have an All rounder in the side,but unfortunatley Symonds isn't that man.

 

[borat]

I reckon he will play both tests because he performed well at the MCG last year and they will want to play MacGill in Sydney. Can't see many changes at all cause I reckon this team want to record an ashes whitewash which I don't think the current crop have done before.
