Re: Cricket

....Perhaps the door's ajar for Hodge ? Would they give him a shot or return to Martyn ?

How important are the w/end Shield games (+ remainder of this test) ?....

5/215 Honours even thus far,if not slightly the WIndies way...Good test for Watson...

positions 4/5 are not solid at the moment
If Kattich fails in 2nd innings he should be replaced by Hodge in 2nd test.Disappointing knock by Clarke.

Re: Cricket

When was the last time Clarke's knock wasn't disappointing? Thought he was supposed to be the next big thing ::)

They won't pick Hodge.

Re: Cricket

Bevan injured at moment and 35
Been tried and untrusted, never forget or forgive the way he continued to get himself out in 97 Ashes, I know a long time ago but his papers were stamped then and so should anyone else who bats like that.

Agree Katich is a DUD hahahahahahaha and i will never forget his dummy spit when he got dropped and sooked to the media about favourtism in regard to being replaced by Boof Lehmann.
I'd still take Boofa over Katich he is a sook, and a dud.

Out Katich in Hussey at 6 or Hodgey or North or Rogers from WA

Re: Cricket

Hodge deserves a chance. The middle order is broken and has been for some time. If Katich and/or Clarke fail in the second dig I can see one being rested for Hodge's opportunity. I'm not sure he's the answer though.
The holes are appearing in this once invincible Aussie batting lineup :-\.

Agree.
Raining at the moment so play will be delayed for some time.

Not looking good TC,they are now showing a replay of yesterday.Looked like steady rain & not many people at the ground so maybe no play until late in the day.Hope your trip is going well.

Re: Cricket

Trip is going so nicely I missed the fact that it was the first day of a test series

It is something I get excited about every year, whoever the opposition

I better get to sleep then and try and catch the scores at the end of play

Thanks mate :clap

Re: Cricket

Sounds like Ponting silenced a few critics

Being abroad makes me realise how hard it is for Tiger fans not based in Melbourne

You just take for granted being able to rock up to the MCG

Not having cricket on the TV is not fun at all

Most of his critics have been re his captaincy not his batting.He is still yet to prove he will become a very good captain.Jury is out.

Re: Cricket

teams that tour Australia never seem to be able to clean up the tail.Windies were in a really good position.Looks like this test will be a blowout.

He's a good batsman Bing Lee.I reckon he should come in ahead of Warney.

If Windies don't make a reasonable 1st innings the test will be over very quickly.Even McGrath was playing a pull shot.
