Clarke must be well keyed up in media circles, he's soon got in with the commentary. Don't hear so much about him being a massive oval office who divides the team these days either.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

You kind of eventually go numb to how bad it is until Bill Lawry gets on for a chat (or you turn on Grandstand but I don't have an AM radio at home). poo poo, I even look forward to hearing Chappell commentate nowadays because the other commentators are universally and consistently awful to listen to, except for a few select moments/topics, like if Healy talks about wicketkeeping or if Shane Warne is saying nothing at all.

With the way our respective series are going India are about to be relegated by NZ to the 6th-10th range in a theoretical 2 tier system.

They were talking about it being 4-4 system, with the three and one other in the top league, the second tier being made up of the next four, and then whoever's worst playing the associates.

So with SA in the mix the top 4 is set forever, that's a great way to grow the game and avoid stagnation.

He's a bit inconsistent, can be very expensive then at other times he's near unplayable. What I like about him is on tougher days he can come back really strong for extended 2nd & 3rd spells with the old ball and get something out of it.

Just watching Australia bat, which team historically had the strongest tail? I'm thinking this team must be getting up there, even our future bowlers like Starc and Pattinson can bat really well.

This really would be close, for Australian teams anyway. We can generally pen down at least 50 runs minimum from the tail.

Gillespie/McGrath is easily the best tail partnership in history though. Unstoppable.

We bat quite deep at the moment, but this South African line up would have to be the strongest I've seen http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63780.html
Klusener at ten and Symcox eleven is crazy. The only player without a test hundred is Adam Bacher the opener
