    SO I am liking the look of the Aussie attack... I think this is our full strenth 11 (injuries aside)
    Hughes
    Watson
    Marsh
    Ponting
    Clarke
    Hussey
    Haddin
    Harris
    Cummins
    Starc
    Lyon


    Then extended squad

    Warner
    Kawaja
    Payne
    Pattinson
    Siddle
    Johnson
    Cuttince

    I think Aussie cricket is actually starting to look healthy

    These young quicks are going to bring home the ashes...

    This needs to go in the cricket thread.

    "in Lymington, Hampshire, one of the world’s oldest cricket clubs has been ordered by its local council to spend £50,000 erecting safety nets around its entire boundary and designate a person to patrol the perimeter shouting warnings about the dangers of flying cricket balls.

    If it refuses to comply, the club — which dates back two centuries — has been threatened with eviction. So it now faces either bankruptcy, to cover the cost of the netting, or being kicked off the ground where it has been playing continuously for 175 years.

    It almost goes without saying that of the estimated 1.8 million balls bowled at the ground in those 175 years, not a single one has ever struck a spectator or passer-by.

    That didn’t stop Councillor Penny Jackman insisting: ‘The plain and frightening reality is cricket balls have been landing at great speed a matter of inches from unsuspecting people.’

    Arse!!! health and Safety gone mad.

    no tactic, slog and hope isn't it... give me a test match any day
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    This is the worst friken form of the game, there is absolutely nothing in it for the bowler.
    Are people that short of an attention span nowadays.
    I reckon, it goes to music as well, bloody shuffle random playlists on mp3 players instead of sitting down to an album.

    well it's definitely not good for cricket if you think about all the players who play it and not the longer forms of the game... and they've thrown so much money into it it's obviously hard for them to resist. But it does mean that so many people go to the test matches and then whinge about the lack of excitement. As old as it might make me seem I don't think a lot of "kids these days" get cricket at all... but you know it all started when people felt the need to get so excited about the speed at which people like Gilly made test hundreds and when teams started wanting batsman/keepers instead of keeper/batsmen... look at the hard time Mark Boucher has been getting and when we were playing over there recently he was keeping better than ever. Which is his job
