It's starting to pour down here. I'm predicting that's the weather that just came from Sydney... I hope.

"Clark looks for answers on ODI axing"
:
Doesn't he get it? Maybe he should look at the other bowlers around him and check out their economy rate and check out the opposition and the form they were in during that time. His economy rate would be above 6 if he didn't bowl to the tail on acouple of occassions. Maybe he should go talk to Hilfenhaus and see if his been hardly done by. FC form has no bearing on ODI status and if he happens to convince the selectors with that performance then I'll be extremely pissed off.
I also laughed at Geoff Lawson, saying that Clark is "terrific" under pressure? What's he done to prove that? What's he done bowling at International level when the pressure is on? His as likely to muck up and cost us the WC in the semi-final as Shaun Tait is, perhaps even more. Tait also went for less then 3 an over in his 10 overs in his last game when the bowlers around him were struggling. That effort of 1/26 from Tait is a hell of allot better then Clark's 4/55 and if you look at the other figures all of the other bowlers went for 3-4 runs per over and how Clark took his wickets. We've already got Watson taking the cheap wickets, no is no need for Clark. We need genuine bowlers who can tie a batsman down and go at less then 4 and a half an over. He'll get eaten alive in the Caribbean.

Yea dam good effort by him to catch that. Obviously lots of luck involved there, everything that needed to stick, stuck for him. They would have been looking at 300 with Flintoff going the way he was.

Unless Gilly & Haydos fire, I think we're screwed if the duckworth lewis system comes into play. Hayden's due for a failure.
