The Quest - Ashes 2013/14

[carey]

I'm still not sold on him...

We played against him in an association game in Melbourne a couple of years ago and in our game he bowled 10 overs none for 70 odd!

Chadd Sayers currently on 3/13 (7) for Australia A, Scotland are 6/40 on day 3

Great to see, hopefully he keeps this form up.

Don't think you can read too much into performances against Scotland
They wouldn't be much better than a good club side.

[stampy]

our current crop of batsmen are surely the worst in history, our bowlers may keep us in a few tests but i reckon our chances are none and buckleys over both series, good to see that big deal probe into all things cricket after the 2010/11 debacle has had the desired effect.........................NOT

They play in the English List A Limited overs Comp!

Spot on. No wonder Clarke's back is stuffed.

Is Baileys form on English pitches pushing him into a spot for the Ashes.

He could debut as captain with Clarke being a likely out.

[kneedeepinthehoopla]

Is klinger still making runs at his county side? Has a decent record on English decks I'm led to believe. And with warner leaving his brain in nsw, maxy might be considered...

[hawks21]

Rogers almost a certain starter in the first test now. From the squad they have named our top 6 could look like this.

Bailey in form could slot in at number 6 if Watson plays as the all rounder.

Ed Cowan
Chris Rogers
Phil Hughes
Michael Clarke
Shane Watson
Brad Haddin

Rogers has scored the most runs in county cricket in the last two years and Clarke is te best batsman in the world

[RustyCage]

Australia A 4/94 against Ireland.

Maddinson 6
Doolan 40
Khawaja 0
Haddin 2

Smith 27*
Henriques 15*

Sayers not playing

[Keyser Soze]

with Warner playing no cricket until to 1st test, Id say Rogers has to play.....good county form and top 3 run scorer in SS cricket last year.

Klinger not far off, injury to Hughes or Cowan and he's in i'd say......

At this stage first XI for 1st test

Cowan
Rogers
Hughes
Clarke
Watson
Khawaja
Haddin
Siddle
Pattison
Starc
Lyon

12th - Bird

[RustyCage]

I'd have Smith in ahead of Khawaja

[RustyCage]

Smith 104* at stumps on day 1 against Ireland

[whufc]

Smith 104* at stumps on day 1 against Ireland

Continuing his good form from India, was a joke he wasn't named in the squad, he was one of two in form bats we have

I know it's probably been spoken about but I'm baffled how Watson got sent home/suspended on for not doing homework, but that goose warner punches a bloke in the chops and gets buggar all... Sack the coach, bring in Waugh or Lehman, sack the selection panel... Bunch of soft c#cks the lot of them... England will smash them...


ps
especially drop Hughes...
