Gardiner won't be in the seniors for a few weeks yet, pulled out of the Casey side at the last minute 3 weeks in a row. Ferg again very stiff, would have been handy. Can not see Koschitzke playing on Fev, doesn't have the mobility nor the speed. It will be a case of being thrown to the wolves...
Give yourself an uppercut pal thats about the level of senseless tripe we'd expect from bushranger.
Hodge a definite, White was tipped as Symonds' replacement so they're obviously not going to leave him out, Harwood has been good and seems in the selectors' sights but there's a long list of...
Relax girls, Jesus.
WA probably deserved that one, were in control all the way through, but thats the way it goes. Makes for an interesting final round.
Nannes and Pattinson are not what you'd call young, both close to 30, but both look like they could have a few good years in them. Shaun Dean has been playing for Geelong 2nd's I believe.
As far as young batsmen the selectors have been pushing Michael Hill from Melbourne in the Vic 2's...
Has had plenty of chances in 2 states, and Victoria were hardly a powerful batting lineup in his first couple of seasons. Is now 30 and despite his consistent returns for St Kilda over the last few seasons any state would be reluctant to take him.
Hayden
Watson
Jaques
Hodge
Voges
Hussey
Haddin
Hogg
Johnson
Bracken
McGrath
Agreed it's better off with Hodge below 3, Jaques has batted there before to replace Ponting. Hussey is most valuable as a finisher as well as allowing others a better chance, Watson is best opening where he can build...
Well done Rich, icon of the game.
Did anyone else sense a bit of 12th man waiting to happen?
Richie's awesome speech, Chapelli's nervous address, Eddie sitting on Richie's table (Richie's Mrs too), Tubby and Mark's Lawry impersonation, Tony Greig's third word(ish) was "regard"...
Settle down mate geez, sand in your vagina? His results with the bat have made him a batting allrounder. The thread was about Cullen, find something positive to say about anyone other than a South Australian.
Cullen has been struggling to take wickets this season but he's got the tricks...
Re: Brad Hodge take a bow!!!!
Yes another one, just for the countless skeptics on this forum who said he shouldn't be near the OD side. It was only one innings, but he clearly showed he is capable at the highest level. Came in to the match under huge pressure and the situation when he came out...
Re: Will Brad Hodge play Test cricket again?
He's played a handful of games as a replacement, what exactly did you expect? Has consistently made runs at state level and had a lean patch playing for Australia. Hard to make runs when you're waiting to get dropped whether you play well or not. I...
Re: Will Brad Hodge play Test cricket again?
You're basing him on one innings. It was a good nut. Everyone makes ducks. He's had great results in every form of the game for the last few seasons, including tests. He's just made 200+ runs in a match against an ex-test bowler and another you say...
Congratulations champ, first sign of diplomacy in any form from a SA supporter. Sorry you have to be the one to cop the smartass comment.
For the record SA still receive the 2 points, and the way some people are talking up Tait you could reasonably have expected as much of a chance to win as...
Victoria are the joke for not bowling out the joke side? Not looking forward to the inevitable verbal diarrhea when South Australia actually win a game.
Batting effort aside, good to see Bailey got the nod this morning. Cullen is averaging 60 with the ball this season and something had to be...
Pattinson is 28 and Moss 31, doubt youth is their agenda in this case. Worth a punt though, Moss has been contributing without being special and it will be a luxury to have 3 genuine pacemen, a spinner and an allrounder.
Good to see Borgas put his hand up n show a bit, it's about time his...
Good to see different blokes getting a go for SA, would be nice to see Plant and Jason Borgas show something, hopefully a bit more than last week. Also good to see Ben Cameron back. Any of the bowlers (Bailey?) would be very stiff to miss out considering how many batsmen have gone through the...
Re: Brad Hodge pack your bags
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as versatile as he has been hasn't North spent most of recent years batting at 4? Either way, you'll find I was an advocate of North in another topic but he's made less runs in more games than Hodge, not by much granted but it would...
Re: Brad Hodge pack your bags
Noticed a few of your posts, all of which seem to be having a go at a Victorian player or Vic supporters. Why so bitter chief?
Other Teams: Bulls >> Bushrangers ... Sums up your repeatedly hostile agenda a wee bit.
Anyhow, I'm not much of a Hodge fan but...
David Hussey should be nowhere near consideration for the WC squad. Very good at his best but far too inconsistent in both forms of the game. Cosgrove should have done a lot more, not his weight as such that's holding him back but obviously to be a professional athlete with that many spare tires...
McGain has been written off by just about everyone here but the fact is he's been the best spinner at district level for years. Mangan's results were very poor over the last couple of seasons, averaged 37 for Melbourne last season and did very little for the Vic and WA 2nd XI's. Holland has been...
Haddin is the logical choice. Up there with the highest run scorers in FR Cup, scores quickly and is a good age. Ronchi for 20-20, Paine will be thought about for the ODI and test sides, Crosthwaite and Hartley would be capable glovemen but haven't done enough with the bat to be considered yet.
Ridiculous that Watson has any votes, definitely a talented player and just because he hasnt given instant gratification to ignorant followers in his few Tests it doesn't mean he won't in the future.
Really? Interesting, recall him taking 7/4 or somewhere thereabouts in a 4 day game against SA a couple of years back, never seen a red ball move so much. Has a better first-class record than Clark and looks a class above when playing for NSW, admittedly when all of their first attack is already...
