Rofl!
I think the bandwagon just got about 100,000 Australians lighter after this over!
139.1 McDonald to de Villiers, SIX, wow! What a stunning hit. Clobbered that. It was not all that short but AB just swung it over deep midwicket. He flayed that.
139.2 McDonald to de Villiers, SIX, McDonald helps AB by pitching this one even shorter and de Villiers says thanks for the gift and rips it to the crowd behind deep midwicket. up up and over.
139.3 McDonald to de Villiers, SIX, Murder! Full pitched this time and AB kills it over long-on. Lovely clean swing of the bat. Will he keep going for sixes?
139.4 McDonald to de Villiers, SIX, Oh boy What is happening out there? AB keeps going for his flamboyant shots and keeps pulling em off. Whaddaaplayaaa! Full in length and he holds his balance, stands still and hammers it over cowcorner. Now then Now then..
139.5 McDonald to de Villiers, 1 run, AB charges down the track, looking for the fifth six, McDonald fires it in the blockhole and AB ends up digging out. That's that, then.
139.6 McDonald to Morkel, OUT, And a wicket to end the over where AB smoked 4 sixes. It landed on a length around middle and leg and moved towards middle and off, Albie had a lazy waft at it, missed it completely and was cleaned up. Not an attacking shot, just a defensive waft

Re: Rofl!
Why? if every over was like that we'd have them out in 10 overs for 250 runs. Id take that every time

The reasons for McDonald not being a part of a future Australian line-up are purely evident in this game. When McDonald bat's again, he should play his natural game, or up it to a level of aggression. I would tip that he will make some runs because he will be free of the pressure knowing that he won't be in the next test Australia play.
Albie Morkel is the reason. He has come into the side with no pressure on either of his abilities and performed as such to give him the confidence to be selected again on both his capabilities while having no pressure placed on him by the selectors or the public.

hes no steve menzies i can tell you that
68 may just keep him in the ashes squad, but now that you can play mitch as a all rounder he may lose his spot so we can pick another specialist bowler.
Exactly. The closest we have is North and he seems to be the best performed spinner sadly. At least it gives good balance. Means he's bats 6, becomes our spinner and we play 4 quicks with the return of Clark. Seems our best line-up right now.
He will unfortunately. Clark will come in for him plus North will come back, bat 6 and be our spinning option.
thats what im worried about.
a solitary 50 and bam.. 5 ashes tests.
selectors have a habit of flogging a dead horse.

Well I wouldn't say they would be because he warrants selection and the only way he shouldn't play if Clark gains some good form in County cricket and the fitness required for Test cricket.
He did extremely well with the ball this tour except for one over, he didn't do as well with the bat but that 68 in the 3rd Test proves that he can bat at Test level.
The only question about his batting is how consistently can he play like he did in the 3rd Test? He's earned a spot in the Ashes squad no doubt and whether he plays or not depends on how Stuart Clark goes in County cricket.
The difference in the 3rd Test was that when he came out to bat, he did so with a positive attitude. He decided to get after the bowlers almost from the 'get go', instead of just trying to nudge the ball around as he had done in his previous innings. If he maintains this mindset he could became a very handy late order batsman, on top of his tight bowling.
It's not a matter of Clark saying "I'm fit", Clark needs to get form as well as fitness to stake a claim to get back into the Test team or else we will be seeing Brett Lee come back into the XI when he's fit as well.
Did Andrew Symonds show any sort of form before his Test return?
Exactly and what happened? He fell in a heap, you'd hope the selectors have learned from that.

Stuart Clark isn't in any advertisements. It's that simple - Symonds is marketable, Australia are desperate to pick him. Same with Lee.
He is part of the '3 mobile' ads.
