McGrath's form this series would be a bigger worry to the selectors than MacGill.

Still would drop Hayden or Langer to make way for a younger opener.How's Gilly going at the moment Evo?

I've explained it to you before mb.All cricketers have slumps.The quality ones work through them,given the chance.Hayden and Gilly are quality cricketers of the highest order.
 
Re: Cricket

Been saying it for years.Some of the LBW's decisions Warney gets are absolutely ludicrous.How on earth can that be given out.Does the umpire think he can predict the future.

Yes i'm aware of the rule.It still has to be likely to hit the stumps.It pitched in that rough spot,which is 3 -4 feet from the line of the stumps, spun hard and hit him a good 12 inches outside the line of the stumps.It's impossible to predict whether that it will then go on to hit a relatively thin target in another 4 or 5 feets time IMO.

Not even hawkeye can predict it(which incidently showed it missing).A very poor decision,umpires let Warne intimidate them IMO.

Terrible decision & Boucher also unlucky to be given out.

Yes they are but they are both aging.With Gilchrist my suggestion was only to drop him for the last test of the ashes because of his poor batting form.I would continue to play Gilchrist & believe he will retire willingly when he knows he's had enough.With Hayden & Langer I feel one should go as neither are going to get better & I believe it is a good time to play Jacques.Hayden's recent form & Langer's injuries would suggest Langer is the one to go.

What Warwick Capper is now is what Warne will be in 15 years time.
Perhaps but I I seriously doubt it. Warne is a legend(unlike Wawick) and regardless of his off field behaviour, doors will always open up for him long after he retires. The ch9 commentary box beckons.

South Africa declare 9/451.Good 1st innings puts them in the box seat but a draw looks a good chance.

Very Unusual that for Sth Africa to declare, probably the first time since Eddie Barlow played.

Bit harsh on JL there MB am surprised. JL is not out of form and has been a very very solid contributer over the past 2 years, and probably both may go at the end of next summer together which is not ideal but cant see either of em going on past 36.
Aussies are stuck with a similar situation to Windies with Greenidge and Dezzy Haynes who they still have not replaced.
Marcus North and Chris Rogers or Travis Birt from tassie my main hopes for opening for the Aussies, i just reckon they have done well over past two years but unforunately for them they dont play for NSW.
 
Re: Cricket

Aussies in strife haydos and JL both gone with score on 35 bad shots two inside edges back onto stumps. :-\
 
Re: Cricket

Just saw some footage of Smith giving it to Langer like a *smile*. I'd love to see him do it off the field Langer would punch the living suitcase outta him and Smiths teamates probably wouldnt back him up geeez he is a wanker.

Poor batting by Langer.After he got dropped,Hayden was out Langer decided to go for the 450 runs tonight.Cavalier batting that was not needed just before stumps.Poor form Justin.
