We might have no Warner for this tour. You'd assume that locks Watson in as opener and makes us find yet another middle order player.

If Warner does miss out you'd have to think Khawaja is a certainty.

If that team is even considered by CA I'll kill myself.

The foxsports team


  • David Warner
  • Shane Watson
  • Phil Hughes
  • Michael Clarke (c)
  • Usman Khawaja
  • Stephen O'Keefe
  • Matthew Wade
  • Peter Siddle
  • Mitchell Starc
  • Jackson Bird
  • Nathan Lyon
  • James Pattinson (12th man)

Looks better than what the selectors will be coming up with.

That's a real good team except for Pattinson being 12th man! Surely he's the best bowler in Aus by a long way??

[also, Lyon?!? I'd put him back to SA reserve grade pronto... But I get that he's the incumbent and they seem determined not to drop him]

I read that 3 times hoping each time that I would see something besides "stock ball". Maybe a wrongun, maybe something else that would need to be developed. NOT THE f**kING STOCK BALL. We're boasting about a potential test all rounder practising right arm off spin.

A wrong'un spins the same was as an offspinners stock ball.

If they were making him learn to bowl a wrong'un then they'd be even bigger imbeciles than the Australian selectors.....

offies don't have a wrongun, its an arm ball or doozra
I meant a wrongun in the sense that he was working on a ball that spun the 'wrong' way for an offspinner. Yes I know it's not traditionally called a wrongun for non leggies but the term still works.
Statsguru must not give out info on Off spinners deliveries. So poor BunniesTard wouldn't know.
f**k off. It is obvious what I meant.

As the announcement gets closer, I get more nervous.

I actually wonder if these gumbies actually watched the England/India series. If we have guys like Maxwell or Henriques coming in at 6 we are rooted on the decks they'll be giving us.

You wait till those 2 bowl on the decks they give us! We'll be even more rooted.

I'm 99% sure they won't pick O'Keefe.

All I can think of with Glenn Maxwell is that he's a thinner, right handed, less talented Samit Patel.

There was proof that part time nude-nut bowlers have no place in test sides in India, nor do lower order sloggers.

If he was an Aussie I would have a 40 year old Ashley Fraser Giles MBE as the all-rounder ahead of the X Factor.

You'd have thought they'd have learn't after they picked White who is an average batsman who can't bowl and a Victorian to boot. Bit no lets do it all over again :crazy:
