Hyperriker posted:Summary of the 2012 thread's last 20 pages: Remember, before the Ashes we have 4(?) tests in India. If Johnson is terrible in those tests, and guys like Pattinson regain their fitness, Johnson might not make it to the Ashes. We can only hope.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Hughes is obviously very talented and all but could this Sri Lankan attack be really considered a test to see where he is at. Those Sri Lankan averages are pretty good if they were batsmen Seriously, looking at those averages, could this be the worst bowling attack to ever assemble together on Australian shores?

They keep talking up Matthews as an allrounder. He's a decent bat, but 11 wickets in 30 matches at 70 barely qualifies as a part-timer. Pradeep's average is currently 366

Hyperriker posted:Worst by statistics? Probably not, someone could have a look at cricinfo to be sure. Ok I know I'm being hyperbolic, but most poo poo bowling attacks usually have someone half decent, like England had Gough, and Zimbabwe weren't all that bad back then, they had Heath Streak. All these Sri Lankan bowlers records are loving rubbish.

Windmill Hut posted:How did Sydney escape this heatwave? It's even 42 degrees in Hobart (that must be their highest ever?) Yep, hottest Hobart day on record  I'm sure there must have been some tests in India that got to 45+. Didn't Dean Jones almost die from heat exhaustion or something during a test over there?

To give the benefit to Johnson, he just tried to defend it but Hussey was very keen for the single.

You Am I posted:I was reading the comments, there are actual people out there happy for him to be back. And some seem to be Australian Cricinfo douche posted:Ridiculous comments. You guys have such incredibly short memories. Haddin is still one of the classiest batsmen in the world, and a fine keeper. He IS the best keeper batsman in the world, better than Prior, Wade or Dhoni, in all forms of the game. Just look at his stats. Lolwut. Bold the whole thing. The guy has 3 ton's from 43 tests. He never seemed to have the ability to assess the situation correctly. And he's 35. He is a better keeper than Wade though, so having him as a specialist batsman is even more ridiculous.

Hussey is still playing until the end of the summer. While Sydney was his last test, he intended to play in the ODI's. Now he will play for WA instead.

And I was clarifying his statement about Hussey being retired. But it's pointless to argue semantics. The selectors are dickheads.

Scylo posted:A refugee from Pakistan has been selected in the PM's XI. Presumably Today Tonight are already planning a "refugee invasion" story. Gurinder Sandhu, who was born in India, is also in the team. He's a young fast bowler. I really hope he ends up better than any of India's current crop of fast bowlers so we can troll them even more.

So Henriques is in the side. Is Australia going to play every single bits-and-pieces allrounder this summer? Better than Smith at least. Hopes will probably be back soon.

PTizzle posted:The T20 last night sucked. Just watched the end of a Shield game where SA had to get like 30 runs with 3 wickets in hand and only just got there. Way more tension in that than any point of the game last night. I was just looking at the scorecard for this match. The opener Raphael was 27 not out from 60 balls, yet the number 6, Head, faced 74 balls and the number 8, Ludeman, faced 79. What the hell? Does Raphael hate the strike or something?
