:laugh And I replied to his post regarding Sri Lanka series. Didn't even notice it. Not the first time I've done this.

^I posted it here because there was talk of srilanka's series, I got confused.

We know what Johnson can do but it's hard to carry a hot and cold bowler. What it also means is we keep living in the past of his tour of SA. I'm happy to give him this tour and the Ashes to prove himself but if he fails in those two series then we have to cut him loose.

And then he goes back and wrecks havoc in FC cricket.

I'm sure Johnson will do good against India.

Think you mean the batsmen feast on his pies Would be interesting seeing how he goes, he never really dominated FC before he was selected.

 

[Robelinda]

Johnson hasnt even played a FC match for WA since he moved there more than 18 months ago. Same for Watson, not turned out for NSW even once.

And don't know if either will do likewise this year either. If NSW had made the Champions League then Watson would have been in there unless CA forced him to rest.

Hilditch hands struggling North another life

As expected it looks like the selectors will stick with North. Not surprised but very frustrated.

 

[Robelinda]

Its kinda funny, they give North multiple chances yet dropped Hughes at the first sign of bad form. What, they dont think Hughes is long term option for the test team? FAIL.

 

[sifter132]

Sounds like Hilditch loves the 'experience' of North and his ability to score hundreds. But why doesn't he love the experience of a David Hussey or Phil Jaques or Chris Rogers?? Those are comparable guys to North in age and experience level and North has a better record than NONE of them. At least he didn't mention North's bowling as a reason for his selection...

Oh well, I still hope North does well. It's always nice to see a man the selectors have faith in do well eventually eg. Watson/Symonds type players who were persisted with for long periods before it eventually clicked. I still say North has much less talent than those 2...

Where the next bradman:sarcasm aka Phil Huges

He is going to play for Hampshire now and hopefully gets picked in the squad.

 

[aussie1st]

Guess he likes his hit and miss players, funny thing is the guy who you would think would be the king of hit and miss (Symonds) was more consistent than North.
