REDBACKS - Season Long Thread

[Chelsea4thewin]

well im pretty sure most of those runs came at the start of the year

he has done nothing in India and now against NZ

[bennymacca]

even though klinger has had a gun season, he would still be well behind jaques (when he is fit again), rogers, david hussey, hodge, voges and others who have cricket australia contracts and have done consistently well over many seasons.

up until this season, klinger was a fringe victorian player, so he will need at least 1 more gun season before he would be considered

[Chelsea4thewin]

would love to see him playing an international game

i say bring back the Australia A team, was sweet when they actually beat Australia

234 @ 33.42 with 2 x 50's
Clarke and Ponting only averaged 35.85 and 38 respectively

It's not like he's getting ducks, he's making starts. Also if Katich didn't run him out this test we would have easily made a ton.

thats why they dont have the australia a any more!

and they kept on thrashing the other international sides, which isn't really a good look for the game


OH GOD

SA have lost 3/33 to be 5/271

going into the last hour of play, they need 71 runs to win from 16 overs at a rate of 4.43. 5 wickets in hand.

this is gonna be tight

klinger still there on 133, if he gets out, SA will lose i reckon

[Chelsea4thewin]

i would cry if we lost

[bennymacca]

klinger out SA 6/280 needing 53 more in about 10 overs.

we are going to lose this!!!

[bennymacca]

it would be an awesome game to be at though - shit loads of runs and wickets and it comes down to the last half hour of day 4

[Bacon]

Should win now. 16 needed with about 5 overs left

Des, stats can prove anything. Haydos is not in good form, and he's 35. He needs a shove out of the side.

Other players deserve a spot ahead of Klinger though. He's proven he can bat. He made decent runs when he started for Vic, but usually lost out when Hodge returned.

They are already talking about Symo getting dropped after 2 bad games, but you don't hear it about Hayden. Haddin was also talked about, seems to be 1 rule for some, and 1 for others.

Hayden for retirement

[Des]

LOL He isn't that far out of form... just wait until Sth Africa, you'll see.
