Third Test: Australia v England at Edgbaston

[mattfb]

I'll swap you Ian Bell for Shane Watson.

I like Ian Bell, but only because his constant failures don't effect me and that he was involved in a 407* record partnership for Kent in my ICC game. Maybe I should name an end after him...

Maybe I shouldn't steal someones joke then say it to that person...

 

[Gilly Fan]

Scores of 0, 0, 0, 15, 13 and 0 opening at First Class level says he shouldn't open.

Gilly Fan added 1 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

Matt, England are playing against Watson. Have some more confidence because Watson is on a lower level of failing and stuffing up then England.

Feelin Blue? added 0 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...



Or he'll pull his calf whilst walking down the steps...

Mate don't worry about walking down steps, he'd find a way to tear a hammy playing chess. It's pathetic.

 

[Themer]

I'm going to stick my head out and say if Australia don't pick Clark Bell will go well because there would be only one bowler accurate enough to get it just outside offstump constantly, Hilfy and Bell usually goes well if the bowlers are wayward.

 

[leftarmlegspin]

I'm amazed Hughes has been dropped. They deserve to lose just for that one decision.

Not playing Clark compounds the error.

Just wait till' his career comes to an end

Then the jokes will come rolling in.

Merv Hughes was just saying that Watson has done well as a one-day opener and that's why they only picked two specialist openers :laugh

I wonder how long until we see David Warner making the test team on the back of his T20 batting

 

[piriyanth]

Clark will most likely be replacing Hauritz or Siddle.

 

[iridescentt]

Wow. Won't expect a start till' mid day. With that massive storm cloud coming in we obviously won't get a lot of play done.

If we go in Siddle-less as well as Watson and Johnson in the team I would LOL so hard at our incompetence.

You gettin Fox's telecast? Merv is an idiot. Wouldn't even admit that Hughes was dropped despite evidence that he is gone.

 

[OffCutters]

I`d like to see Huss opening for us, and put Watson at 5, i dont think Watson can open in a test match for Australia at all.

Rain is coming again.

Nah it was on cricinfo

I was going to go out and watch the first session tonight, looks like that isn't going to happen now

Good to see the rest of them take the piss out of him though.

Ideally, I'd like to see Clark for Johnson and McDonald for Hauritz, but the chances of those happening are as much of a chance as Phillip Hughes playing.
