We'll see tommorrow guys! A bolter for the no6 could be Cameron White. Don't laugh at me here. It allows us to play that 2nd spinner, even though he is crap at it. But his batting almost deserves a spot on its own.

 

[Master Vippo]

Werent you saying the other day that his batting was crap and he onl made runs in england and that any idiot can make runs over there? Good consistency there. Michael Clarke is as good a spinner as White...

White has improved his batting in Australian conditions recently. This year he has really started to be consistent in the Pura Cup and in the domestic one dayer's. I wouldn't mind him at 6 to be honest.

 

[Master Vippo]

hes gone ok, but not enough to warrant test selection. Jaques should be no. 6, Watson or Clarke will be.

 

[lockyno1]

Hey, I wouldn't pick him but he is a real smokie, espicially if he turns his 100 n.o into a 200 today!

Jaques, Clarke deserve selection over him. White has a FC average of 35.95, you thought Clarke was bad.

As I said, he would not be in my team but is a "smokie" as he is in real form with the bat!

 

[Parra Guru]

I guess Clarke has the advantage of the practise match at the SCG against them.

I actually really want to see him at test level again. I think he deserves another shot.

 

[lockyno1]

I think he deserves another shot.

He played against Bangldesh in the last series!

He played against Bangldesh in the last series!

So what? How does that influence his claims on another shot at a Test spot you silly twat? f**k you're an idiot...

 

[Twizzle]

OK Locky, your opinions have shown a clear bias and will be dismissed from now on.

Thanks.

Thanks for the support guys!

Clarke v Bangladesh...

1st Test at Fatullah: 19, 9

2nd Test at Chittagong: 23*

As a comparison, here are Damien Martyns scores in Bangladesh...

1st Test at Fatullah: 4, 7

2nd Test at Chittagong: DNP

Martyn failed in Bangladesh, would you like to drop him as well? Of course not, he isn't the subject of your bias now is he? Petty Locky, very petty...

 

[lockyno1]

Martyn only played one match, so Clarke had the advantage of playing the extra match! Plus Clarke can't bat 4. He was tried there and failed dismally!

But Clarke was not out in the second match, you can't call that a failure can you? So two failed innings apiece by my count...why does Clarke deserve to be dropped but not Martyn?

 

[lockyno1]

why does Clarke deserve to be dropped but not Martyn?

Martyn averages almost 50, Clarke doesn't even average 40 FFS!

 

[Jobdog]

Because Martyn has been in the team for a longer f**king period of time. This means he has had more chances to better his average. FFS!
