Hodge FFS!

Mitchell Johnson is 36?

Hodge makes a good cordial.

Looks like one of Bracken, Spud, Bung, Subi or Midge will miss out. Token to open with Gilly?

can always sacrifice Hodge to the pace bowlers (or Clarke)

Take Spud out (and he might well be designated Staminate-stirrer) and the Grand Poo Bah will also be the team junior.

Suppose if it turns out Young Einstein can't captain his way out of a wet paper bag, better to find out now I suppose and choose another Golden Child. And it's not as if the rest of the side has played that much more rubbish than he has. A strange decision, all the same.

Reaction from the Courier Mail will be interesting immediate and strongly-worded, doubtless.

I thought Token was still struggling with his ankle injury......?????

Johnno's 26 I think. Depending on who has the birthday next, my observation above might still hold.

Odd not to pick Hoggy!!! as the spinner...but then it's a bullshit concept so WGAF anyway...

Spotty Youth older by 7 months

Hmmm thoughts Hads might get the WK, and keep Gilly for the real stuff (comparitvly speaking)

The selectors have it in for dubbers.

We all know that George Bailey is the real heir apparent.

Tozzies have a great record as Australian captains.

What, no Phil Hughes?? I'm gutted.

And Hodge FFS FFS.

Fitting. Rubbish cricketer for rubbish cricket.

"We all know that George Bailey is the real heir apparent."

Yes but he can feel free to start producing the appropriate numbers any time he likes. He's had a fairly mediocre season so far and he wasn't breathtaking late last summer either.

Aye - madness. Could even give Ronchi a go.

Fair dinks, I'm gonna get thrown out of the members if Podge plays.

How many storeys high is the Members?

how is Noffke rated ?

Watching an old B&H game from 1990 on Fox now.

Waughs currently batting together so one will get run out soon.

He's picked it like an itchy nose.

Aye. Did anyone ever find Small's neck?

Not that I am aware of.

Geez Gower was an artist. Sublime to watch.

I think I've just seen Larkins play THE worst shot ever by a top order batsman - not playing a shot to a ball that bowled him around his legs. The bowler was Terry Alderman.
