    He brings so much more to the team than batting... he is setting a standard in training and fielding.

    I feel for the guy, he'd still be in my side and I think the aussies could have at least afforded to carry him for the series...
    I heard an interview with invararity tonight. They don't come any more straight down the line than JI. The only thing he tended shy away obviously from was any ponting retirement talk, but he then said that "ah yes I thought he'd hold a press conference the next 2-3 days". But the guy has averaged 3 over 5 games. Thats bad as Smarsh!

    You can't carry anyone if you want to win at the highest level. Shit thing now is that he's free to play the 1 day final against my boys on Saturday... On a deck where he's fresh off a 200.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    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!

    Remember Ian Botham calling Phil Hughes a cheat for claiming a catch that just bounced in front of him...

    Jonathan Trott's was the worse I have ever seen... to actually pick a still ball up from the ground is so bad... would love to hear beefy now..

    Yep.
    I didn't see Trott's.

    Going back to me earlier harsh criticism of Clarke, well yeah.
    I still think he is a bit of a tool off field but as long as he keeps scoring tonnes.

    Amazing display today.
    I only saw the last hour of play sadly.
    He is in Bradmanesque touch.

    Let's not forget Hussey.

    I just hope he saves it for your lot...
