Shaun Tait- Just saw the 1st over....

too bad that he is wasting such phenomenal natural talent.

White ball

Twilight

Unusual (not a throw) action

Decent pace

Pity T20 wasn't about in Eddie Gilbert's day: he too was only good for three overs.

well here is the deal...

AUS aren't the king of the hill any more. They have only won one test match in their last 7 attempts and that too only after the series had already slipped through the fingers.

M Johnson is alright
Siddle is a rookie
Clark is good
Lee is going down at 9.81m/s^2

They need Tait

PP, couldn't you change your avatar? It's very disturbing. I know you have strong views; I just don't think this is the place for such a pic. Please make it more light hearted, as many of your posts are.

We have won three test matches out of our last 7 attempts.

hmmm?

Actually it's 3 out of 5.

totally forgot about NZ....


shows how meaningless those 2 wins were.

"totally forgot about NZ...."

It happens.

But you can't take our meaningless victories away from us. We can still beat WI and NZ, and don't you forget it!

Thanks PP. What does that one signify?

yeah AUS are just minnow bashers now which is why they should still win the Ashes this year and probably also beat the Cubans of cricket.

you are welcome, its a dove

Not that the NZ series was trouble-free: in the first match we were dismissed for 214 and 268. Johnson and Katich saved our bottoms.

I am not at all confident about the Ashes. England has some serious quality players, and if they can get their ship together they should win.

not if Tait plays..

I am not sure that the two good overs per session he is capable of will tip the balance in our favour.

thats still 2 more than what Lee was putting in...

I was hoping that's what it was but my son said it looks more like an eagle!

The dove has the olive twig in its mouth. Famous symbol of peace.

Also quite delicious.

I am sorry if your son(if he is young) was exposed to my previous avatar.

Aye - there's nothing like roast dove.

No, PP my son is 17 and doesn't give a shit, but thanks for your concern. It was me that found it a bit heavy going. It's much nicer now
