5th Test: Australia v England at Sydney Jan 3-7, 2014

[Pete Cash]

Great work HADS

 

[Timbo]

5 fifties in 5 first innings.

SuperHads to the rescue again! Get him up here, I want to boof him.

 

[African Monkey]

:lol: I don't think they rate DerpWick.

:lol: I can see why.

I know everyone loves to have a go at Cook's captaincy but this guy is an out and out pie chucker who should be going to the boundary every ball.

 

[Hutty1986]

Top 50 hads

 

[hineyrulz]

Another quality 50 to the great man Hads.

 

[jargan83]

50 to Hads

 

[Mr Angry]

Yet another innings saving 50 from Hads!

 

[snoozer]

he better not retire.

great work once again.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

So he's averaging 90 in the first innings of the 5 tests

 

[African Monkey]

New rule:

If any player on the field played for St. Kilda, Victoria or Hampshire, Shane Warne is barred from the commentary box.

:lol: or bowls leg spin.

 

[Dutchy]

1/4 of the way there Flips.

according to Henry on ABC grandstand Hads is the one rumoured to be retiring.

He spoke to the selectors and they have asked him to rethink it.

I dont think we'd be 4 zip up without him

Time to rethink Hads

As I initially suspected at the start of the thread whilst Rogers and Harris' names were being thrown into the mix. If he does retire, a massive hole in the wicketkeeping stocks exist as neither Wade nor Paine (the two other keepers in state cricket that have played tests) are up to it at test level. If he does retire, I can't think of any other reason besides, like Hussey, wanting to spend more time with his family which is quite understandable after what his daughter has been through the last couple of years.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hads would be mad to retire, the poor old soulless Ranga has lost the plot.

 

[Joely01]

This hitting the stumps from stokes is getting a bit tiring.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Haddin's innings has a Steve Waugh vs India feel about it

 

[Matt23]

Hoping Haddin doesn't go just yet...no thanks to scissor hands & glass fingers

 

[hineyrulz]

Shot!!! Bring back Wade!! :lol:

I'd pick Hartley...best keeper in the country.

 

[Pete Cash]

Lmao at how Haddin played that first ball from Hads.

New rule:

If any player on the field played for St. Kilda, Victoria or Hampshire, Shane Warne is barred from the commentary box.

An addendum to that: Warne should be barred from always being paired to commentate alongside David Lloyd. This is clearly a ploy from Gyngell et al. to try and increase the ratings.
