Re: Cricket
G Smith got his hand whacked at training & won't play in the final test starting tonight.
Kallis to take over as SA captain.
Believe we're keeping the same 12 together from Durban...Would have liked to see Tait,at least,get a game.

Dan Cullen
2nd try.
Looks a bit like Shane warne did 15 years ago.
Bowls like Suqlain Mushtaq, also has a "doosra".
Late developer, didn't play in any rep squads as a junior.
Developed in SA Academy by Terry Jenner.
Unspectacular 2005/06 bowling average of 33, but mainly bowled on SACA.
Shall be playing domestic cricket in England, this winter.

Re: Cricket
Not disagreeing with you mb in they deserve to play, but selectors rarely change winning sides and have viewed Martyn for the Ashes now after dropping Hodge and they wont drop him after he made 50 and Kasper is replacement for McGrath.
We never pick a side just because the opponent is weak, we always pick the best available 12 to play.
I would like to see Tait play as well Marella.

Re: Cricket
Congratulations to Justin Langer ahead of his 100th test. :clap
After successfully fighting his way back into the Aussie side, taking over from Michael Slater, his partnerships with Hayden have been a huge reason for Australia's ongoing success, over a long period of time.
Whilst not the most flashy player, he's as gritty as they come and as his career draws to a close deserves the acolades that will come his way this week.

Re: Cricket
It may only effectively be 3 wickets in hand. Langer is still groggy and may not bat.
Not a very memorable 100th test, which is just as well, becasue with the blow to the head, he won't remember much of it anyway!

Re: Cricket
Shame it's in a dead rubber, against an attack missing Nel. :blah
This guy gets a free ride more than any Aussie batsman I can remember.
Well he was bound to get runs eventually :Ready said:Martyn 93no

Re: Cricket
Tait ruled out for Bangladesh
Kaspa and Langer in doubt
Congragulations Trevor Hohns on a fine career as test selector, his selection team has made the best team for the last 10 years and has made some tough choices over the years, including this one.
Selector will come from NSW say Rixon, Robertson
Hilditch to be chairman
Will be interesting next 12 mths with a new era starting as we will have new coach after the World Cup.

Re: Cricket
True. Hohns on the whole has done a fine job :clap, however in light of some of his recent decisions, this is a wise move.mk33 said:
Re: Cricket
Like to see Gilchrist take a break from cricket for a while to freshen up as his (batting) performances have really tailed off....Bangladesh would be a perfect opportunity to blood a new keeper ,perhaps Hartley from Qld ?....Reckon Tait may have to modify his action to become/remain a viable prospect....Had no cricket yet injured again...Opportunity beckons for a young quick ....
