I also bowl spin.

you're in.


I'd like to see Dennis Lillee and Rodney Marsh back in the side

Which reminds me, picked up the book, Bowled Lillee, Caught Marsh fir the princely sum of $1 at the Riverton 2nd shop last weekend. Can't wait to find some time to read it.

Well that was anti climatic.

Can't believe we didn't have crack at the win, very.....English of us!

I know an argument can be made that we never looked like losing, but equally we never really looked like winning.

Come Friday, we're on the back foot - who comes in, who gets dropped?

Johnson out for starters.
Harris in? how is the knee?

i think johnson is gone, probably for harris, although bringing in bollinger as a left armer might be a decent idea too.

didn't mind doherty either, if he tosses the ball up a bit more in adelaide i can see him going well.

id like to see david hussey come in for North

id like to see david hussey come in for North

dave hussey?

no way will he ever get a test match. not saying he isn't good enough, but i think his time has passed.

if you are going to drop north, much better to go with khawaja or fergusson, someone that has 10 years of cricket in front of them.
