No way in the world Chuck will be the coach, but I reckon he's a big tip to be assistant coach to Ship.

Lewis was rested for the last game...and as for getting rid of Ship, you are kidding. Who the hell are you suggesting replace him???

Think you'll find Hookesy didn't pick Matty in Newcastle earlier in the season (yes, he was coming back from glandular fever, but he still made the squad of 12). Wise, McDonald and Lewis have all done a great job all season, and Inness picked a bad game to bowl poorly last weekend.

Pura Cup Player of the Year - Matthew Elliott (Vic) ING Cup Player of the Year - Brad Hodge (Vic) Spirit of Cricket Award - SA

How long before the selectors realise Ian Harvey is a dud and drop him?? I suspect all Watson has to do is stay fit and bowl a few more overs, and it's bye bye Harv's for good. Problem is, Harv's will be back in time to displace a regular Victorian player and make 'a pair' in the Pura Cup...

Moss has blossomed as permanent no 4 this year...why swap him?

A bloke named Katich will be ahead of Clarke/Lehman/Symonds in the bowling stakes

Aust A

Close enough...only Australian to be 12th man in tests twice, without ever playing a test

Rain has stopped play. Arnberger had to pull out with a calf injury. Don't think Warney has had a bowl yet

not 11th, 13th

[/B] Try Queen Elizabeth! (apologies to Bert)

OK, why is Shaun Graf unique in Australian cricket? (broad I know, but the stats men will get it easily)

Hasn't got a first class 5 wicket haul yet, so the jury is still out. Only young though. And made nearly $300k just for turning up to the World Cup as Warnie's replacement, so may be time to repay some faith along the way.

It's only $5 entry to the Pura Cup final anyway, so not worth the hassle of trying to sort something out. Those who are serious about the Vics will come along anyway.

Geez, a bit critical. He missed out in the last game (27 & 8), but he's got 615 runs at 55 this season...not long enough to get out of form!

not a sellout - 30,000 presold...tipping we'll get about 60,000.

East Burwood do not have pokies, but have extremely wealthy supporters who are ruining local football

would be completely surprised if this was true...ok, so he hasn't made any runs, but keepers still win matches for you

There's no doubt the Bushrangers game against SA in just over a week will be a chance to farewell Hookesy in Melbourne. Will be free entry and a celebration of 1,000 (+1) first class games for the Vics.

Eddie McGuire has been a friend of Hookesy for at least the last decade. Get over it.

Geez, despite police taking statements from about 12 witnesses, finally the truth emerges from the guy who is charged with his manslaughter! Absolute garbage.

Slater played attacking cricket as soon as he was picked in the Test side, and Australia has never looked back. Hayden was the preferred opener on the 93 Ashes tour, but failed in the ODIs and missed out on Test selection, so a bit rich to suggest Slater was in Hayden's way for all those...

Yep, Gerard was all class, and he summed up the Hook perfectly. They were a great team...the loose cannon and the voice of reason.
