    Keppler Wessles is an idiot... speaking of Brad Haddin

    'He has nothing to lose, if he fails he loses his spot, so he may as well try and win this thing'


    Um... to me, that sounds like a lot to lose... Fuck head...

    Hopefully PC stays injury free... Poor kid will probably get stress fractures etc.

    And don't know about Mickey Arthur... don't know enough about him to make an informed opinion. But he is south african so surely he can't be too good...

    Apparently he's done a good job with the Sth African team, but then again they still choke.

    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

    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.
