Australia in South Africa

come on aussies, drop katich and bring back haydos

nah Martyn's finished as far as im concerned.
Jaques or Cosgrove could easily take his place in the team.

geez Ntini's done nothing in comparison to Friday...he would be very disappointed with that.

Martyn got out, we need a bigger hitter who can also anchor. That sounds like Cosgrove to me. Jaques can take over Katich. Then we will have a WC winning batting lineup.

i like the way u think

so does anyone think the aussies can defend what will be a modest total?
Whats with Watson's batting...he has forearms like popeye but doesnt use them...shame really.

Nope we won't...

Is Hall simply unhittable or aussies not able to figure him out? 8 overs for 26 looks like way too good for him.

If you call 250 modest possibly. All depends on Lee, I've lost faith in those other nuffies.

SL are asking the same thing Hall is not a part time bowler, he is very hard to get away especially at the death.

Hussey is smashing it, so much for him only doing it in Aus. Hes also doing it to basically a full strength SA lineup minus two guys who I don't think would make much difference at the death.

Thats what I was thinking, I guess he needs to get in cause I have seen him hit a few clean ones but they went straight to fielders.

 

[alfa_beta]

Is Hussey amazing or what!!! Simply unbelievable - I wud call him an upgrade for Bevan

 

[genghis_khan]

i never had faith in Clark or Bracken lol

looks like the mighty Hussman will probably get us past 250...wait no, he's out bugger.
send in Lee or Hogg...they can hit

 

[aussie1st]

Out for 22 off 10 but hes done his job. Brillant as always, maybe he should be batting at 4 as we would do a better job than Martyn and then he can finish.

Again blame Katich for our modest total.

I've been thinking of a good lineup.
Jaques
Gilly
Ponting
Hussey
Symonds
Clarke
White
Lee
Hogg
Bracken
Tait

We need someone to replace Hussey for late inns hitting and White seems to be the best option. Also kinda of provides a bowling option. Henquries would be perfect but way too raw. Other option Cosgrove 4 and Hussey 7.

You need one more fast bowling option... Hogg, White & Symonds are all spinners.

 

[langerrox]

that will win us alot of games, WTF white? what does he ever do? nothing get over it he is a **** player get in some talent, henqriues, north, marsh, voges, cosgrove etc

Bracken, Lee and Tait cover that. Thats what we usually do anyway. 3 pacemen, Hogg and Symonds. This way we have White as an extra option.

 

[genghis_khan]

the selectors will never dump Katich...

yes Henriques is too raw, mind u Irfan Pathan debuted at 19 and hes still around. and Henriques looks much more mature than an average 19 yr old.
I still like Watson in the team, he has a bit too offer.
Voges is a good idea...clean hitter, handy offbreaks.

Why? You'd be better off playing a batsman and getting 20 overs out of Symonds/Watson/Clarke, White is a massive liability with the ball.
