Go SA!!

 

[Ridders]

As its in Sydney, Bollinger will most likely get the start over Hilfenhaus. Don't think they'll drop Siddle and i think Hauritz will keep his spot from Krejza. Hayden to be given another chance to prove himself.

 

[The Colonel]

How can Symonds be in the squad when he is clearly injured? No balls again from the selectors. With some luck he and Haydud will f**k off after this Test.

From that squad;

Hayden
Katich
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Haddin
McDonald
Johnson
Bollinger
Hilfenhaus
Hauritz

Siddle 12th Man

Hayden and Symonds still in the squad is an insult..

 

[Ridders]

Watson's injury makes the Symonds situation more complex, instead of it being just a straight swap.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Give the Ranga a chance!!!

 

[The Colonel]

Watson's injury makes the Symonds situation more complex, instead of it being just a straight swap.

Why? Injured he clearly can't field, can't bowl anything but off spin (and even then it took two days for him to be used) and isn't capable of holding his place as a batsman alone. Biggest passenger in the side outside of Hayden.

McDonald should play but the selectors won't have the testicles.

 

[Ridders]

Thats the point, the decision would have been a real easy one to make if Watson was fit. Now the selectors are going to have alot to ponder on. Whether they scrap the all-rounder concept for the time being and bring in someone like D. Hussey or pick another all-rounder.

They've named an allrounder in the squad in McDonald. Chances are its only to make out they are doing something and Symonds will play. McDonald is a better choice and actually in form but that won't matter.

The selectors can go and get f**ked, Hayden and Symonds still there. What will it take to make some hard decisions????? No wonder the side is such a rabble, who selects the selectors??????

Agreed 100%. WTF is going on? We can't bowl sides out, we've been outplayed in both tests because we CANT TAKE WICKETS, yet the only change will be Lee's spot.

South Africa 3-0.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Absolutely f*cking disgraceful!

The only changes were forced through injury :x
Hayden still in :x
Symonds still in :x

WTF???

The selectors are showing that the first change needed is for them to GET F*CKED!

The side will be:

Hayden
Katich
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Symonds
Haddin
Johnson
Hauritz
Siddle
Bollinger/Hilfenhaus

Down 2-0
Now is the time to make changes in view of the future
So f*cking clueless

 

[PARANoIR]

lol. Here we go again.

 

[Jobdog]

The side that will be named:

Matthew Hayden
Simon Katich
Ricky Ponting
Mike Hussey
Michael Clarke
Andrew Symonds
Brad Haddin

Matthew Hayden

[El Diablo]

Haydud, Siddle and Symonds :crazy:

f**kin idiot selectors

Hughes should move o/s if he ever wants to play Test cricket

 

[lockyno1]

Drop S..ttle and Lee obviously and play both Hilfenhaus and Bollinger. Simple..as good as Siddle was in ONE spell he was crap in every other spell

 

[myanonymoususername]

They wimped out with Hayden. You'd think they're contractually obliged to pick him and Symonds because of the sponsors's ads they are in? Symonds I suspect at least won't play as the injury will provide the excuse to drop him.

 

[aussies1st]

How can Symonds be in the squad when he is clearly injured? No balls again from the selectors. With some luck he and Haydud will f**k off after this Test.

From that squad;

Hayden

McDonald
Johnson
Bollinger
Hilfenhaus
Hauritz

Siddle 12th Man

That would be my side too.

 

[hineyrulz]

Now would be the perfect time to blood a few blokes, honestly what does picking Hayden achieve???? FFS i remember when the likes of S Waugh and AB were getting on a bit the media were after there heads. And both of them had done a lot more for Australia cricket thean a Merkin Like Hayden............
