Second Test Jan 3rd-7th@SCG

[RoosterMarty]

Mal, as much as you love haddin to play his natural game, surely a composed / defensive knock is in order now....come on hads, hang around!

Nope should just try and smash every ball he faces.

[NFC]

I've had enough of North, get him out. Team for next test:

Katich
Watson
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Hughes
Haddin
Johnson
Hauritz
Siddle (Hilf if fit)
Bollinger

Khawaja 12th man.

[NFC]

Out in the 90s again, Watt a choke.

Did you see the wicket? How was that a choke?

I agree with Locky, I think its time for North to head back to the Warriors and find some form. With Hobart next test and if Katich still doubtful, is George Bailey a chance to debut on home ground??
If Katich returns and they drop North does Hughes keep his spot and bat down the order?
If so I would prefer Hughes opens with Watto, Kat at 3 , Clarke 4 and Ponting to 5 and Huss 6. I think its pretty evident that Huss will be the next to go and therefore a young bloke can cut his teeth at 6.

Any sense or am I off with the fairies?

Anyway who else around the country may be a chance for Hobart if North goes?

Think it was said tongue in cheek, probably one of the best balls of the match

No. Khawaja should be above him in the pecking order.

In fact, Shaun Marsh should be getting mentioned. I'd love him at #6.

[locky801]

Katich to come back in for North and the Kat to bat at 6

Geez don't take offence mate, it was more so I could get the "Watt" in there but the fact is he is out in the 90s yet again.

[NFC]

As long as Hughes stays I'll he happy. He looked good after a nervous start, unlucky to be dimissed to a fluke catch by one of the worst fielders ever. He was really getting going. Please, please persist with him, he's a run machine.

In: Katich
Out: North

Simple.

Fair enough but the fact is he is the only one making runs again.

Australia now 5/234

Hussey 56*

Haddin 4*

[locky801]

Runs have now totally dried up, new ball due in 7 overs

New ball and Haddin may not be a bad thing for us...

[locky801]

4 over throws, dear oh dear oh dear had to see it to believe it

[locky801]

Australia now 5/241

Hussey 56*

Haddin 11*

Commentators still going on that the Aussies will win this

Paki's should win. If they don't win from here, they are a disgrace.

My batting order for the 3rd Test: Its time for Ricky to bat down to prolong his career and put the responsibility of batting at 3 on a younger head, hence:

Katich
Klinger
Watson
Hussey
Ponting
Clarke
Haddin
Johnson
Hauritz
Siddle
Douglas

Hughes looked ordinary again today and played at far too many wide deliveries with rash shots that a quality opener wouldnt. North, well how many chances do you give him? Too hit or miss for me!

Get on Maxie Klinger

[locky801]

Haddin gone LBW, oh hell now he reviews it, again looks plumb and is, players playing for themselves and not the team

Australia now dead, this maybe over tonight

Aust 6/246
