Henriques, Maxwell and Smith all in the same squad? Oh my. And Doherty's back! Let's see if he can improve on his test average of 102.

It'll be fine. Sure, the batting isn't entirely deep and the bowlers will likely all break after one game, but Clarke and Hughes are the best two batsmen in the world not named Amla and as such the'll carry the hopes of the nation kicking and screaming towards glorious victory.

Hyperriker posted:Forums User foolish_fool is actually Paul Kent of the Daily Telegraph Google tells me this guy got in some argument deriding Anthony Mundine. I would never do such a thing, Mundine is at least as much a surety to win as the Aussie cricket team. e: Not to mention that he apparently argued against the return of SBW to the NRL. What a dick. e2: Mostly I'm just really confused. How could you *not* see how amazingly brilliant Hughes is? Surely the Indian attack (and more importantly, the English) will crumble under the might of his cover drive. e3: VVV Certainly a 25 year old Hughes is possibly a better batsman than a 100 year old (and also inconveniently deceased) Bradman. foolish_fool fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jan 31, 2013 |

Cat Terrist posted:Oh gently caress me, we are so gonna get thrashed. Yeah I don't really get this. There's that old joke that when you get selected for NSW you get a baggy green as well, yet despite playing for them O'Keefe can't get a look in even though he's been a very consistent bowler and can bat a bit.

Well Doherty has two wickets with an average of 80 and Smith has 0 centuries and 1 wicket. Pretty easy to see why the selectors would pick those guys over O'Keefe who has 17 wickets with a 24 average and a 25 average with the bat.

Just caught up with Warne's fix-it post and all I can say is hahahaha. "Give all my mates jobs and we'll totally do a better job!" I thought was a pretty universal sporting law that the most talented players make awful coaches, while the best coaches were usually pretty average players.

The selectors couldn't even be bothered to watch the game where SOK took 8 wickets This is possibly the worst picked test side I can remember. Its been picked based on odi or even worse twebty20 form.

Smith at least has a pretty good average with the bat and is just back-up by the looks of it. Plus he can play spin. gently caress Doherty though, fuuuuck. Also Glenn 'FIGJAM' Maxwell and Moises 'One Good Season' Henriques. Gonna be hilarious regardless of what happens. If India get beaten by that side they're one of the worst test sides in the world (if that wasn't clear). If we get pasted there will be mobs in the street. P happy either way.

It would appear that the solution to Shane Watson not being able to bowl is to pick even more all-round incompetent players. Maybe Jackson Bird will unlock Glenn McGrath mode and Australia can shakily chase down 150...

No-one outside of India will miss India if they disappear from the international game. All they have to offer the cricketing world at the moment is a backwards attitude and poo poo cricket.

It's only countries like SL and Bangladesh that need India because those tours generate so much money for the cricketing minnows. When Russel Arnold was commentating this summer he was saying that Sri Lankan stars are basically obliged to play in the IPL or India will schedule fewer matches in Sri Lanka, with dire financial consequences for the home side.
