Australia in New Zealand - 2 Test Series

[Adelaide Hawk]

Comparing hissy fit Johnson with the Lion hearted Davo is the worst call you have ever mally. Davo carried our attack for a bloody long time and was bowled into the ground.

regards,

REB

No, I don't think I could compare Johnson with Davidson at this time of his career. Johnson's goty a long way to go to equal Davo.

Brad Haddin is almost emulating Adam GilCHRIST
Mitchell Johnson is almost emulatiing Alan Davidson
Shane Watson is almost emulating Keith Miller

If Hads, MJ, Watto can keep up thier recent standards for another 4-5 years each I will take 'almost' out of my opening comments

AU is blessed to have these 3 fantastic entertainers

On the MJ /DAVO comparism, have a LOOK at the fine print on Paragraph 2

Off course he cant be Davos standard YET

Just heard Peter George has been called up to the Test squad as cover for Ryan Harris!?!
Great effort by big Pidge but is he ready? Will be an outstanding experience for the lad regardless of whether he gets a game or not.

Good to see the Aussie selectors and everyone else who is involved the Australian side has their eye on him.

Yes i can see it. You also spelt emulating with extra eye i, don't worry I can read

[Pottsy]

I'd like to see Harris get over his niggle and get a test match. A fine player.

Reckon he might get unlucky though, with the worries about his fitness. It's been an ongoing career issue for him so wouldn't be surprised to see the boring but seemingly durable McKay get another guernsey.

Shane Watson out injured, Phil Hughes is his replacement.


Marcus North remains in the team, Ryan Harris passed a fitness test.

In the last 19 tests against New Zealand, Australia has won 13 and drawn 6 New Zealand 0

[Dutchy]

Hughes still has massive flaws in his game, not up to it at this stage IMO

Hes out too for 20.

[Dutchy]

One thing I was taught early on was not to play the cut shot early in your innings, I know it gets him plenty of runs but it also gets him plenty of times as well...

WATSON injured
That might affect the bowling depth
HARRIS has yet to be tested in a longer game, he might struggle in later spells with a lack of 4 day games this summer
I would play GEORGE not HARRIS as we need bowlers to go the distance
I can see MJ doing a lot of bowling and being the leading wicket taker in this Test

I thought with Watson out, Smith should have played instead of North giving us a fifth bowler especially with a slight doubt over Harris.

Big blow but he should be right for the 2nd.

Smith should've played for North, Hughes for Swatto.

Ponting run out for 41.

Run out in a test match FFS!!! Unless you stumble on a easy stroll through for single you should never get run out in any session of a test let alone the first!!! That is not counting a very close finish either (which are few and far between) where you require a mad dash run at every delivery!
