Hyperriker posted:This is one of my favourite statistics of all time. Two batsmen have just scored insane hundreds in this very match, Clarke still scoring well as usual, but Ol' Phil Can't Even Get One Run Well, he has managed 25 runs, just not against spin. The real reason to watch the next test will be to see if can manage the 26 runs he needs to overhaul Bell's 51 in 6 innings against Tough one. It certainly possible that he will score a position cementing double century.

Phil Hughes' ball-by-ball summaries look like a Dwarf Fortress short story of him being chased by a wolf.

Time for the lads to play their natural game, take risks, attack the bowlers. *dismissed for 220, top score 60*

If Australia lose this by an innings, which they should, it will apparently be the first time ever a team has lost by an innings after declaring their first innings.

Minus Pattinson and Clarke this has to be the worst Australian team I have ever seen in my time following cricket. If they went the total youth policy and picked guys with a heap of potential I wouldn't mind so much that they were getting spanked as long as they were working toward some future goal. Instead guys are getting picked for Australia with serious flaws in their game like Watson/Hughes/Cowan/Wade or guys who are just below international standard, i.e Maxwell/any current 'spinner'. I hate to reflect on the golden days of Australian cricket, but 10 years ago none of these players would have come within 100 kilometres of the national side unless they were in the stand as a spectator.

And it's over. Australia have amassed fewer runs in both innings that the Pujara/Vijay partnership. What a disgraceful performance. First by the selectors and then by the players. I'd be speechless, but I'm a sperglord.

Well often those players with flaws in their game are the ones with potential, presuming they can fix those flaws. I don't know how many 18 year olds with flawless technique are out there to choose from. The only thing preventing Australia from hitting absolute rock-bottom at this point is Clarke and a decent pace attack.

I wonder when a pissed off fan is going to dump a truck load of manure on the front steps of Cricket Australia, as what happened to an AFL club (I think it was Richmond) years ago. I have never seen a team so clueless about spin bowling

Wow, that's a belting. But really what do you do? The following players scored more than 400 runs in Shield this season. PJ Hughes (In and failing) RT Ponting (Retired) CJL Rogers (35 and had a previous shot) AJ Doolan (dont know much about him) MJ Cosgrove (Likely will never get picked due to weight and attitude - but right now couldn't be worse..) CJ Ferguson (Hasn't stepped up in the last few years, seems more suited to the one dayers) UT Khawaja (should be in the side, but again hasn't stepped up when he's had the chance) BJ Haddin (Old, was dropped for a reason) CD Hartley (Is ok, and maybe a improvement on Wade, but eh) Isn't exactly anyone banging the door down to get in..
