3rd Test: India v Australia at Mohali (Punjab) Mar 14-18, 2013

[The Mad Hatter]

Too soon?

 

[Horrie Is God]

Lol..

What inspired selection decisions will we see for this game??..

 

[The Mad Hatter]

"We know what Australia's best XI is" ; John Inverarity.

Apparently bloody not.

Bwah ha ha ha!

 

[some11]

Time to bring in Steve Shit to 'liven up the dressing room' - the exact same reason he was picked after the Ashes were gone in 2010.

 

[Springbokfly]

:crazy:

 

[Earl]

"We can't speculate on the make up of the team until we get to Mohali and assess the conditions. I think its safe to say though as selectors, we will make a couple more monumental f**k -ups"

 

[Sphagnum]

The footy will have started by then.

F**k the third test.

OUT Maxwell

Lyon
A batsman who isnt a walking wicket against spin! :x

Exclusions
Hughes
Maxwell

 

[Twizzle]

Oozie has good footwork playing spin, surely he must be worth a shot now.

 

[Earl]

Hughes, Watson & Cowan have all performed as equally as bad as each other and none should complain if 'rested' for the 3rd Test.

Warner not far behind.

Surely they can't go into the 3rd Test with the same batting line-up though.

 

[vvvrulz]

they can't go into the 3rd Test with the same batting line-up though.

I wouldn't bet against it.

Since the start of the Sri Lankan series

Phil Hughes 258 @ 28.667 (2 x 50's)
Shane Watson 195 @32.5 (1 x 50)
Ed Cowan 227 @ 28.375 (1 x 50)
David Warner 386 @ 42.889 (5 x 50's)
Michael Clarke 568 @ 81.143 (4 x 50's, 2 x 100's)
Matthew Wade 273 @ 45.5 (2 x 50's, 1 x 100)

We have a reserve batsmen on tour in Usman Khawaja. IMO there is 3 batsmen there who are all equally as deserving to be dropped as one another.

Watson and Cowan don't look anywhere near as inept as Hughes does. At least they are trying different things to survive. Hughes is just the predictable cannon fodder he always becomes when opposition teams know he will be playing and watch a video or two of how awful he actually is.

Most limited number 3 in world cricket.
