Second Test Jan 3rd-7th@SCG

[cripple]

stevie wonder could have made that call, haddin is a shocker

[locky801]

Looks like going to be Pakistans 1st Test win against Australia in 15 years

[NFC]

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

I'm starting to think people have forgotten or didn't watch him carve up South Africa. IT'S HIS NATURAL GAME.

Let alone the way the rest of the side apart from Watson and Hussey have batted this game, they have all been shockers

[locky801]

Johnson now gone bowled neck and crop

Aust 7/252

[cripple]

bit of bother now

[Dutchy]

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.

So you want to get rid of North cause he aint making runs, but keep Hughes who isnt making runs?

[NFC]

Some all-rounder.

and thats fine if everyone else is making runs but he's unreliable.

[Bum Crack]

My $45.00 is looking ok.

Ummm how old is Hughes? 20. How old is North? 30 odd.

But yeah, lets keep no improvement remaining North and keep sidelined a guy that in time will be a superstar of world cricket.

Should be a selector.

[Interceptor]

The way his partners are going, Hussey has no choice but to lift his aggression if Australia are to get to any sort of total.

[NFC]

North's reliable?

I'd double it for a series win to the Pakistanis, apart from Watson & Hussey the aussie batsmans confidence is shot

Age comes into it? when has that mattered in Aussie cricket?

Superstar? you seriously have to stop having your man crushes

Hughes has superstar potential. North has the potential to what, average 40?

You're right though, we'd prefer a team of guys who should be in the old folks home and don't perform over promoting some young talent.

An old guy failing vs a young guy failing. Give me the one with greater room for improvement any day.

couple of things to look at is that for a start Hauritz has scored more runs than Ponting and North, as I pointed out earlier how long is it since Ponting scored a test match 100, he has been brilliant for Australian Cricket over many years but has to now see the writing on the wall, he may well come out and hit a ton in Tasmania in the next test, I think he should drop down the list and lets blood a new number 3.

Only problem is that the Aussie Selectors will now go into panic mode because we lose a test, their usual panic mode is not to change the side

[Bum Crack]

Pakistan are HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RoosterMarty]

Another one out, Hauritz edges to slip.

Commentary team should be sacked along with half the aussie team, far too many mistakes this Test.
