Michael Clarke's career-long back problem has flared up again towards the final days of Australia's tour of England, leaving in doubtful for the deciding one-day international at the Ageas Bowl, while Shaun Marsh has already been ruled out with a hamstring injury

 

[TheParraboy]

Heavy Artillary Hughes and The Big Show could be the replacements

England beware

 

[IanG]

Just marry him if you love him so much

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The commentators picked up in the last game that Clarke was fielding at backward point rather than slip. Nek minnet he's done his back in.

I've got a twelve hour shift starting at 7 tmoz but I'm too excited too sleep knowing The Show might be playing.


And before I forget did anyone see the sitter Scissorhands put down in the last game? :lol:

 

[BunniesMan]

Hughes is back!

Expect big things from him in his return to international cricket.

[Sphagnum]

Lol, Hughes is back. We're f**ken boned

 

[BunniesMan]

The Phil Hughes era begins once again.

 

[BunniesMan]

Hughes's nemesis Guptill got 189 n.o. on this very pitch earlier in the year. So when you compare relative talent Hughes should get around 400-450.

 

[TheParraboy]

play underway

0/10 2 overs

 

[Cletus]

Really enjoying Finchs batting.

[8Ball]

[Sphagnum]

Rofl. He is awful.

 

[TheParraboy]

he wont get to 25

correction, wont get to 5, lol

pathetic, cant handle the short ball what so ever

 

[Cletus]

Solid 2 by Hughes, we just need to stick with him.

 

[BunniesMan]

he wont get to 25

He got 8% of the way to your prediction. A solid composed eight ball 2.

 

[BunniesMan]

The selectors have broken him with their ineptitude. They should pay him compensation.

 

[JW]

When are they finally going to mark his papers FFS?
