In terms of judgement Michael Clarke would be just about the worst runner between wickets I've seen.

Jackson Bird in the first test XI surely?

Closest possible we have to an Alderman for English conditions IMHO.

You think?

Chest on (inside lead arm looking) Bird vs side on (outside lead arm looking) Alderman. Harris is more like Alderman IMO.



Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Who would of thought we would keep picking sh!thouse wicketkeepers.
Nothing will change when you pick batsmen who are nothing more than backstops.

Ok this is what I was told today

I work with the girlfriend of a port power game day analysis, he is also co owner and bat make of TNF, they sponsor one state level cricketer and that is Ashton Agar.

Ashton has apparently told the bat maker that he is in for the first test and that they have paid for a proffesional photographer to take shots of him using the TNF bat on the international stage

Not sure but at least I put down who I heard it from rather than just a friend of a friend etc etc.

Like I said her partner says he received a call from Ashton today to say his in
