Tour match thread -Scotland v Australia Aug 28

[aussie1st]

Saw the title didn't read on but I hope it fixes up his problem. He keeps getting starts but then his technique is unable to keep out a good ball. For someone of his class he should be keeping the majority of good balls out, if he gets a jaffer then you can't blame him or his technique but a number of his dismissals of late have been poor by his standards.

He's making runs so far against Northants which is a positive sign - he's on 75* so if he can go on and make a century his chances of being dropped are effectively zilch.

So who does rekon that Langer will make a comeback

 

[Covvy]

He's probably better than Hughes at the moment.

I am 99% sure that he won't.

Good start to Manou's career as backup keeper with a golden duck.

As soon as I say that, Manou catches Howgego (heh) off Stuey Clark.

So what happened to Hussey? He retired hurt or something.

 

[piriyanth]

Things are looking good for Stuart Clark.

Retired out not retired hurt.

Retired out not retired hurt.

Cheers.

Bit off topic here when I googled retired out. Found it interesting enough to be posted :P

Also, according to this cricket faq, Abdul Aziz of Pakistan has the unfortunate distinction of being the only player to be recorded as ?retired dead?.

I'm going 1 further and saying I'm 100% sure he won't. It was just a tongue-in-cheek comment which has been taken out of context.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Siddle's doing his best Mitch impersonation. 3 overs for 23, one no-ball.

 

[piriyanth]

Wow Clark gets another wicket.

 

[TheGreemSim]

Clark doing well, sucks for Manou though cause he's unlikely to get his chance in the test series now. Why is he backup anyway, why not Ronchi? Ronchi's statistics are a lot better than Manou's

M Johnson 5.3----0----33---0

Good to see Johnson doing well still!
