O'Keefe, unlike every other spinner in the country, is a genuine wicket taker. He doesn't just buy wickets, he gets batsmen out.
i know it was a t20 but his wickets were 2 bowled and an lbw last night.(top order too)
his 1st class ave for bowling is 23.5 and bats at 40 odd.and he's played more games than beer.

7 poms have batted in this innings so far
7 aussies have bowled in this innings so far

Pup should bring himself on soon, and have Khawaja bowling at the other end.

Then just need to slot Hughes in somewhere and then possibly see if Haddin wants a go.

Cook is 35 runs shy of becoming the 10th test player to reach 800 runs in a series. If Successful he'll be the first player since Mark Taylor in 1989 to do so. The last player prior to Taylor was Viv Richards in 1976, who scored 829 in 7 innings against England

This is what you get when you keep virtually the same bowling attack that has led this Australian team to a ranking of 5.

This is what you get when you don't select the best spinner in the nation.

This is what you get when you have a bunch of moronic selectors who select someone based off a non-selectors bias opinion.

This is what you get when you extend the contract of perhaps the worst cricket coach in living memory.

This is what you get when you reward mediocrity with continual selection.

This is what you get when you neglect foresight and vision of the future.

This is the Australian cricket team.

Cook gone for 189, 766 runs for the series, may get another crack in the 4th dig, but wouldn't be chasing down much more than 100.

First one I reckon the UDRS has got wrong. He definitely got a tickle on that, heard it clearly.

That's about the 4th time this series that hot spot hasn't shown a clear edge or contact as the case was one time when it hit Ponting's glove. Hot spot should go IMO.

if there isn't a clear decision confirmed by the UDRS, the result by the umpire in the middle should stand

Bell knew he was out too, otherwise he would have called for the referral immediately.

No integrity from the Sherminator.
