Wouldnt be too bad, if we can keep someone in there with him, at least it would take the heat of some of those who really need to get settled.

If the batsman are struggling what other options are there - namely, who can be dropped and brought into the side? The only change I would like to make is to give Tait a chance against the English batsman, but it would be hard to figure who to drop because all of the quick bowlers are so inconsistent.

I hope Macgill gets a game on tour, is Hussey apart of the touring party as well?
i kno what you mean about the batsman but if u want to put tait in drop gillespe without asking questions... hes in a major slump

Normally, I'd be rejoicing with an Aussie loss.

But pity pity pity.

Gee, Kasper, I feel so sorry for him. Bing too.

Unlucky boys.

Fuck McGrath though, this keeps it interesting.

That game still has me in its thrall.

The same thrall I experienced after finishing any of the better Harry Potter books.

It feels so fucking excellent... except for the fact that I need to start preparing my AOS essay and creative writing for my trial... tomorrow. :rolleyes:

I thought when Binga hit that full toss the game was going to be over.

Oh well, good effort by the boys. Warnie the fat prick stepped on his stumps. Ah what a legend.

Can't wait to face the Poms at work tommorow.

Yeah, they were...

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that king_of_boredom was more critical of Australia's specialist batsmen, for leaving far too much up to the tail in the first place.

Feel a bit sorry for kasper - so gallant yet missed the win by a glove. Now he'll have to reminisce about it sitting on the sideline while Macgill takes his place for old trafford.

i truly hate Macgill, I really do, he just does not have the attitude of an Australian playerl...he is an arogant sulky little wanka...I hope he never plays for Australia again.
