I agree with Gazza.
Hopefully all of our batsmen are saving their runs for the first Test. Ponting normally scores a hundred at the start of a series. I hope I didn't jinks that

It was going straight to second slip as well. If the selectors can consider people from outside the 17 man squad (they've confirmed that O'Keefe can come into consideration), surely Copeland has to be up there? Perhaps that's why they let him play another week of shield cricket instead of playing the A match...maybe I'm being too optimistic haha.

I was following this match on Cricinfo:
Tasmania 167/9 (52.5 ov, LR Butterworth 44*, AJ Maher 4*, DE Bollinger 0/41) | Live Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Eventually Tasmania won the match with just one wicket with a last partnership of 31 runs. The worrying fact is that Watson, Bollinger and Hauritz couldn't prevent Tasmania reaching that target. Watson performed in the last innings with his bowling, but even that didn't stop Tasmania. Also there were tough batting conditions. Nobody reached a fifty.

Lol Hauritz bowled only one over for the whole match.
How the heck is he going to prove to the selectors,that he deserves the Ashes spot?

Just wasn't a day for the spinners but that dropped catch just adds another black mark to his name for me.
Hussey up to 30 now and scoring at his ODI rate. If he carries that into the Test arena he might just find his way back into form. But this better not be his usual crap where he scores a career saving 100 and then fails like North usually does.

Hussey's on 98* at tea. Surely that seals his Test spot, if it was ever in doubt. I think, I'm more happy to see this than disappointed to see NSW lose

Hussey reaches his ton with a four off 144 balls. I am extremely happy and relieved at the moment.

Over 52.6: Wright to MEK Hussey, no run, OUT, short, hooked in the air and held by Hill at deep square leg
Sounds like he was out going for runs. They are more than 400 ahead so that would make sense.

Was probably the best thing that could have happened to Huss, coming in for that type of situation. Making him play some shots and think more about the team situation rather than his own struggles. And now he's got some runs - HURRAH. Hopefully that gets his red ball confidence up, because he'll surely be picked now with the double failures of Usman and Ferguson. You can't get dropped if you've made more runs than your competition.
And was GREAT to read about Mitch Johnson's success - with ball in particular. We know he's a slow starter after a break. Here's hoping that this has been enough matches for him to consistently fire.
