Kudos to Dhoni and Kumar (?) on an incredible 10th wicket stand…. Doherty MUST play the next test. Why TF did we play 4 pace-men – dam daft. We’ll be lucky to make them bat again.

Not Wade. He is a better batsman than he ever will be as a 'keeper.' Bloody tosser!

Out of all the failures, lack of patience and crap shots, you have a go at Wade.

Bloody tosser indeed!!

Yeah.....he is Number One on my target list. Further, when in India, do what the Indians do. Give the ball some bloody air! Doherty was bowling dart pies and got the outcome he deserved.

I'm sure he's shaking in his boots. With a current average of 37.8 we’ll let him do the talking and ignore you, ok?

As for Hughes - he just puts the bat out in front of his pads and is waiting to go out.

His and Warners so called sweep shots shows again they have no patience for the test arena.

Our spinning stocks have not been nurtured nearly enough and we are seeing the results of that now.

In fact he is because it ain't just me on his case. There is a growing group, especially within the ABC Commentary Team who share my view. Ian Healy has also been very critical, as well as doing his best to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.

And.....now he runs out Henriques!

And is out for 10, thrusting out.....shyte, needless 'shot.' I guess that is him 'doing the talking.'

Nah. The dude is a dud.

Nah. The dude is a dud.

Ian Healey could have offered some help, rather than talk in the media - he won no applause.

A runout means bugger all and you know it. Attacking just the keeper in a team of shite really is obtuse.

That said Tim Paine is the forgotten man here and should play in the Ashes series. Much better kepper and batsman than Wade

I really can't see this team progessing.

Warner - will always be hit and miss and not an opener IMO.

Cowan – I think he at least has the temperament to play at test level

Hughes – Ugly, ugly batsman

Watson – the great enigma – should open the batting

Clarke – must bat 3

Wade – Out Paine must come back in

Henriques – Showed enough to keep him in as a batting all-rounder

Maxwell – Who knows

Pattinson – Excellent

Siddle – OK

Doherty – No good at test level

This would be my starting 12 for the 1st Ashes test

1. Cowan
2. Watson
3. Clarke
4. Ferguson
5. Warner
6. Paine
7. Henriques
8. Pattinson
9. Siddle
10. Starc
11. Lyon
12. ???

Interesting.

We do seem to place stocks on some with less than great 1st class stats.

That said both Bailey and Voges have been very good in the Australian team and Lyon's stats were comparable to most off spinners going around before this series.

Arthur has not been a success. Lehmann (sp) is The Man.

Fair dinkum, the Coach of a National Team of Test cricketers reckons the way to get them to achieve is to demand of them intellectual homework. What a wanker!

I know what I would have told him, and I can easily imagine what DKL et al would also have told him.

Wrong management style, Dude. Back to South Africa for you.
