I'll do a big lol if Clarke gets banned from the next match due to slow over rates anyway.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/story/625750.html Starc has flown home for ankle surgery. With Clarke likely to miss the fourth test as well our batting is even more hosed up.

Doctor Cave posted:http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/story/625750.html At least they've known this was coming for some time. Though if he and Clarke are out, there go our two best batsmen :-) You can just about guarantee they'll rest Siddle as well for the dead rubber, bringing Pattinson back in almost for sure, and possibly Johnson. But what do they do with Lyon, Mr X and Smith? Smith's bowling is crap, so you can only play him realistically as a batsman. Clarke, Siddle, Starc out brings Johnson, Pattinson and Watson back in, but gee our spin bowling options are ordinary.

Checking out the odds for the Ashes double header. England 10-0 is 500/1. Looks to be worth a cheeky tenner.

Ponting was named Shield player of the year and Aaron Finch won Ryobi Cup player of the year. So I think that means that the best shield player is a man that wasn't good enough for international cricket anymore, and the best ODI player is a man that batted like poo poo in ODI's all summer.

The thing with Ponting is he is stepping up his fc commitment (stint in county coming up) rather than winding it back so I don't see why he won't go around again next year. So we might get two years in a row of him making our fc system look like garbage.

Its interesting how prolific he has been and how much cricket he intends on playing. He has stints lined up in the IPL, County cricket and then a run in the Caribbean Premier League. Is he secretly hoping we suck so badly the BRING BACK RICKY HES IN GREAT FORM campaign starts from a desperate Aussie media as we go 2-0 down in the Ashes or is it just for some retirement coin.

Just turn the Ashes into a Australia reunion tour and roll out Warne, Ponting and any other old guy whos willing to play.

He's got maybe another 2 years left in him so he his getting as much (paid) cricket in as he can. Also probably back to just enjoying the game without the weight of expectation.

So I think that means that the best shield player is a man that wasn't good enough for international cricket anymore, and the best ODI player is a man that batted like poo poo in ODI's all summer. I saw this: ACA Teams of the Year Sheffield Shield: Chris Rogers, Phillip Hughes, Alex Doolan, Ricky Ponting (capt), Callum Ferguson, Moises Henriques, Brad Haddin, Ashton Agar, Luke Butterworth, Chadd Sayers, Jackson Bird, Mark Cosgrove (12th man) That team with Clarke a straight swap for Hughes would probably be as good as the current test team lol.

I reckon Doolan might be the next one to be called up. He had a pretty good season as far as I know. Oh and Ager

Looks like another Hughes tbh. <10 or >100. Hopefully he can be a bit more consistent next season because god knows we need a new young batsman to come through.

He will also get a couple of minutes head-start on the afternoon-tea spread, much to annoyance of his hungry team-mates

Don't really care about Hodge but they need to stop having the captain be a selector. I don't care if Watson is or isn't a good teammate, he's a bad batsman.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/current/story/625891.html This story seems kinda weird. Even if Cowan did complain about dropping standards, what's the point of telling media about it. When watson and co come back to the side, I can't imagine this will make anything smoother. Getting detention because of a strict teacher is one thing. Getting it because of the teacher's pet telling on you is another!

I like to think that Cowan walked in, pointed out that they've been talking about trying to improve team culture for at least a year now and told them to hurry the gently caress up and get on with it

Anarkii posted:http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/current/story/625891.html I reckon Cowan's making a leadership play, so that if (when?) Watson gets dropped he's on everyone's mind as the VC rather than, say, Warner. He'd probably make a good captain though.
