Even if North survives all day, he cannot remain in the team. You can't be scared to drop under performers because of one decent innings. North cannot remain in the team. He should of not even made this series.

Can't agree with that bobby. Whilst his form so far in this series has been poor, he did score a hundred just four innings ago against India.
If he bats all day today he manages a reprieve but he does need something special. No doubt the heat is on..

The only way I can see him staying is if he bats to the end today so we go to Perth 0-0.

Fair enough.

Seeing as we're putting guys under the pump..

As a side note Punter has now gone 17 innings without a hundred (his last was his 209 when convicted Paki match fixer Aamer dropped a sitter when on he was on zero) .
This is also his only century in his last 33 innings.

Averaged 40 over the past 2 years. 42 this year. Certainly far from his best. But not horrible either.
 
Crazy referral. Wasnt close.

Could be very crucial on a day where there will be a lot of shouts with Swan bowling.
 
Huge shield game with Katich now out. Especially for Hughes.

Another failure & its very hard to pick him. Runs & he's warm fav to come in.

1st one I think MB
 
like i am amazed at the many calling for hughes's immediate inclusion when he is averaging 22 this season, i am amazed at those calling for smith's inclusion as a spinner.
if smith couldn't bat would anyone want him near the side? i doubt it. yet some want to include him as our fourth bowler? i guess the the poms cant really score anymore.
