[hearts on fire]

Really? cheers Rod, i will be popping over there tomorrow and grabbing quite a few. Beauty, i will be buying all my powerade from K-mart now, so this will definitely add up!

Hope they still have them for that now. I definitely get it from there for $4 normally. Normally stock up and leave them in a fridge in my cricket changerooms. Last time i got them from K-Mart was a few weeks ago. Last week i had an away game and forgot them so i popped into Big W on the corner of Goodwood and Cross Rd. who also had the 3 for $4.

I should really take that on board and stock my fridge up, i play basketball at my local recreation centre and it costs $3.60 for a powerade/gatorade there. As you said, it all adds up, I have tried the powerade powder before, it's not bad, but it never tastes the same as the ready made ones.

Fox sports news just reported that Nathan Hauritz has been drafted in to the Squad for the adelaide test.

Well deserved IMO he is a good finger spinner and if Krejza is unfit to play he should be the first given the opportunity to play as the spinner.

I'm going to watch them train at some stage this morning,I'm going to take my whites and throw some offie's down in the nets and tell them I've made a 100 this summer. Honestly,Nathan Hauritz?

Hey REB,was Hauritz originally from NSW?

[MADDOG3]

Maybe it's the South Aussie in me coming out but gee wouldn't Dan Cullen be a good choice? It's not like it's Haury's home pitch or anything... another strange selection.

I would rather see Cullen play than Hauritz. Another bizarre decision by the Aussie selectors. Who would have thought??

[Tooting Bec]

It just goes to show the pitifull scrapings of spin bowling in Australia. Hauritz can't even get a game for nsw and is gettting called up to the test team? F**k me, surely there are better options than him.

We'll see how Booney goes at training this morning!

[Tooting Bec]

The way our bowling stocks are at the moment he'll probably impress the selectors that much and get a call up!

I just don't see the point in playing a spinner if there is no-one good enough. Roy's off breaks are at least the equal of Hauritz. Play a spinner if they are good enough but there is no way Hauritz is.

They're the stats for Sheffield Shield cricket Bob?

spot on rod. play the four quicks and let roy and clarke do the spinning work. better option than Hauritz

I'd rather see Frosty The Snowman in there before either of them.

Frosty is susceptible under pressure

Cullen's not bad... he's gotta be worth a shot on his home deck? Bloody selectors are out of their tree.

Yeah I agree to some degree about Frosty, I'm not sure he'll last the five days if it's hot.

[am Bays]

I wonder if beau Casson is feeling teh love???

Number one spinner less than six months ago, now has been superseeded by his NSW understudy....

But when the game is on the line he has ice flowing through his veins
