Who is most likely to play the 2nd test?

[Gunnar Longshanks]

Why not? This is a bloody forum...

I'm just telling you that we don't need to see it, and that it highlights the fact you enjoy writing lists.

I know that Hayden, Ponting, Clarke, Gilchrist, Warne, Lee and McGrath will play. You don't have to write it down for me.

Can someone who voted for Hodge tell me why they think he's "more likely" to play than Hussey or Katich?

How many changes do you people expect to be made?

Why not ask about those who picked MacGill or those who picked Martyn or those who picked Symonds as well?

Anyway, when this poll was made Hussey wasnt a guaranteed starter, and Katich is never safe

Well i dont need to see what you write either, and i dont need to see you start another thread, it highlights the fact that you like starting threads, where you stated the exact thing in another thread. Thats like the second list i have ever made....this is a stupid arguement, i dont know why you would start this.

What a lame comeback.

You wrote out the entire team list to convey the fact that there would be one change made.

Why bother?

Mate, this is a ridiculous arguement, it doesnt deserve my response.

Because considerably more people went with Hodge.

It's an exercise in logic as I see it.

Watson must be covered. Hodge is likely to get that spot, but Katich and Hussey are even more likely to be retained.

If you accept that, then voting for Hodge makes no sense.

If you don't accept that then I'd love to hear how many changes will in fact be made to a winning side (2? 3?), and which players are likely to come in alongside Hodge.

When this poll was created, Hussey was no guaranteed starter, most would have expected him to not play in the 2nd test. Katich is always a chance to miss out at all times as he is the worst performing batsman in the team

Langer in for Hussey was always seen as a guarantee
Watson out for someone was going to happen

So there was originally always expected to be 2 changes at the least

Yet people have continued to vote for Hodge over Hussey even though Langer has now been ruled out. Why?

"Always a chance"? It would be a surprise if he got dropped. Don't pretend otherwise.

Hussey shouldnt be in there because Langer is still injured. I think the selectors will go with the boring option of Macgill instead of injecting some new blood like Symonds. Symonds is a very underrated bowler and can obviously bat he sh*ts on Watson.

Symonds>>>>>>>>Watson

It would be a suprise if the most out of form batsman in the team got dropped?

 

[Copernicus]

Be surprised if they want to keep messing about substituting players - Hussey probably deserves another chance, even though he didn't shine in the opening test. As much as I'd like to see Hodge play, I doubt it.

You suprised are you?

And wow, Jaymin got the closest to the side, only difference was Langer isnt playing
