Chris Rogers, David Warner, Shane Watson, Michael Clarke, Steven Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle
It should be an interesting summer, especially given the mix of success and failure the test team has had over the past 12 months, but no Dhoni is a good thing for Australia at least.

No spinner on a track that’s usually suited to spinners.

The teens, were said to be fed up with the gruelling and barbaric lifestyle which comes with joining the IS territory.
The young friends believe their lives have been turned completely upside down after becoming accustomed to talking to whoever they wanted, saying whatever they pleased and wearing whatever clothes they liked.
They also didn’t like being controlled, according to media reports.

I’m already on to it.
Was asked today how much difference the ball makes in a test match. I wasn’t sure but said in Oz we have Kookaburras and overseas they select their own.
How much difference can the brand of ball affect a test match?

I thought it was basically the Kookaburra everywhere but England & Wales, where they use the Duke.
The Duke appears to swing more, but that may also be due to English conditions.

I was close. According to wiki, which I’ve just checked, the West Indies also use the Duke and India uses something called the SG.

England & West Indies use Duke brand, Inida uses some other local brand. Apart from that everyone else uses Kookaburra for test matches. For ODIs and T20s everyone uses white Kookaburras.
Not sure why the Duke balls swing more than the Kookaburras. But this seems to be the accepted wisdom that they do.
Wiki also tells me that there is a British Standard – BS 5993 specifically for cricket balls.

Don’t know, never played with a test standard cricket ball, or even touched one. Presumably they are better stitched, more symmetrical and have a better finish than the machine-made ones.

I guess that’s because the cover is made of leather and painted on the outside.
You would need to make the cover of some artificial compound that’s the same colour all the way through. Don’t know if the traditionalists are ready for that yet.

Either that or you’d need to dye the leather all the way through. But that might change the properties of the leather.
making it out of artificial material would be hard as you still need it to wear. that is part of the game, wearing balls.

I’ve never really understood the saying ‘Luck’s a Fortune’ but I think it applies in this case.
But I wont use it because I think it’s a stupid saying and I’ll have no truck with it.
Australia needs to cut loose after tea, sacrifice wickets if need be.
Even so I doubt they will have enough runs to declare before stumps, depends how much faith Clark has in Lyon to clean up on a fifth day wicket.

I think the best thing for everyone is for them to just have him put down.
I suspect that’s the last time we will see Cap’n Hammy on the park.
Can’t see us getting 8 wickets in the last session. So the draw looks on.
I might have to wonder off and do something useful instead.

Nobody has got out for the last 3 hours or more. there’s been nothing for him to call either way.
Fucking plum
both batsmen on 99*
Two batsmen on 99, don’t see that often.
Hope they both get out on 99

Sibeen is watching the cricket again evidently
Heh… India might want to rethink their stance on the DRS

Vijay would’ve been out on 25 if that was the case. As it stands he got 99, but wasted an entire session for Australia.
I think Warnie wants to rip the top off of something

They also wouldn’t have lost the other two wickets so who knows what would have happened
India should win this, they need 100 off 120+ balls min.
If Kholi stays there they will.
Which idiot thought that having Brayshaw in the commentary team was a good idea?!
You can say the same for a few of them, I’m on radio.

Would be sad to see any Australian captain end his career that way. But shit happens.

I’ve never batted for hours in a test but the injuries that he gets seem extreme for a cricketer. Football players get battered and bashed, tearing tendons everywhere and dislocating joints but the most they miss is twelve months. Why can’t he just take some time to get it right and come back through the shield like everyone else?

If he doesn’t pull the pin, he’ll be pushed.
I don’t think so. He had a poor series against Pakistan in the Gulf States, but he is still scoring hundreds. He scored hundreds against Sarth Africa in March/April, he scored a hundred yesterday. Can’t see why he would be dropped.
… if he was fit, of course
Take a year off, come back. Shit, the god of cricket, WARNIE, did it.
His time off may have been enforced :)

He’s played his last game for Oz, unfortunately.
Brothers Mitchell and Shaun Marsh are set to play together in the second test tomorrow. Will be only the 7th pair of brothers to play in the same match for Australia.
I would have thought in the hundred plus years of Australia playing test cricket the number of brothers would have been greater.
