Australia v Sri Lanka, 5th ODI, Hobart, 23 January, 2013

In the past 3 matches Aus has managed 170, 74 and 222, and Fuse and Nikki have failed on each occasion, while Reeks simply reeks.

Will Bernie get serious for Game 5, a match we need to win to avoid a series loss? Will Aus be able handle Koola's dinky inswingers? Will there be more DRS controversy? Will we need Koo to make 50 to pass 200? Will dry old Hobart turn on the drizzle?

Tune in Wednesday for answers to these and other pressing JAMODI questions.

Forcast is for a fine day in the low to mid 20's. Unlikely to be as much swing as the previous two venues.

Which rabble are we going to send out this time?

I'd go with:

MrsK
Pie (Finch=Baker-Finch=Baker=Pieman=Pie)
Pup
Beetle
Paris (FFS give him a chance for an international farewell)
Weed
Fork
Midge (Christ, the cupboard is bare)
Koo
Tweet
Doh

Re Paris - have you seen the email going 'round at the moment about what really happened re Hussey not getting selected for the JAMODIs?

And remind me which one is fork? Maxwell?

no...but heard a story on the radio about conflict after the Sydney test between Huss and Pup

No. What's the gist?

Googly seems to suggest there was a massive falling out between Paris and Pup post Paris's final Test when they disagreed over farewell celebration locations (sounds a spin-off like the alleged Fleas v Pup confrontation). So was Paris punished by Pup and the NSP? If that's correct it won't augur well for Pup's rep with those that are looking for reasons no to like him - and there seems to be plenty of them - mainly Vomits.

Faulkner. Yoody is about as useful as Smith and Reeks.

Found this

"Mike Hussey is at the centre of a rumour doing the rounds by email, and published in of all places a financial gossip column on Thursday, that he and Michael Clarke had a spectacular falling out after his farewell Test at the SCG. According to the scuttlebutt, Hussey and Clarke had been split over where post-match celebrations should be held - Mr Cricket wanted them in the dressing room and then the hotel, but the captain preferred a planned evening on James Packer's super yacht Seahorse. Hussey, it was claimed, boycotted the boat ride in protest, having also just been surprisingly left out of the one-day squad. He was joined by two other players, the email said. The Tonk was made aware of the alleged dispute on Wednesday morning and quickly had it shot down vehemently by Hussey's management and Cricket Australia. There is at least one element of truth to the email, though - Hussey did not join teammates on Packer's vessel. But the way it was told to this column is that was because the team had already celebrated in their SCG dressing room and then their hotel until about 10pm and he wanted to rejoin his family, who were staying with him in a suite at the team's Sydney base. The Tonk was told the others who stayed in the hotel at The Rocks instead of boarding the boat were Shane Watson, who missed the Test because of injury but wanted to be part of Hussey's farewell, and Peter Siddle. Support staff with families present, including Steve Rixon and Dene Hills, also stayed with Hussey in the hotel rather than hitting Sydney Harbour."

-------------------------------------------

As I said, it sounds like a rehash of the Fleas throat-grabbing rumour.

Google links to apparently similar articles in the Age and SMH have no pages attached. Seems certain management teams may have demanded their removal.

Maybe this is the real reason for our Rotation Policy. Players threaten to rearrange Pup's visage & get a one game holiday.

The yacht celebration seems more of Pup's and less of Hussey's style.

It all reeks of Clarke's previous insistence on leaving early to be with jibbering sperm receptacle, Lara Bingle, when he should have been with the team.

Also ... is Clarke's influence instrumental in the promotion of Heazlewood, Henriques, Warner, Hughes, Haddin etc over more deserving non-Dubber candidates?

heard all that over 1 week ago

There might have been some lingering tension anyway considering Hussey kept his cards close to his chest regarding retirement. There are those who think Hussey left Aus up the creek without a paddle.

The Aussies are as prone to a bust up as any other team. They are just fantastic at covering them up.

..completely different set of circumstances....the chokarian was the culprit...they had parties long and hard and pup had enough...the drunken slobbering chokarian got all red misty eyed

I like Clarke's captaincy and his batting. Actually, half the time when he addresses the media as well. But, you just know the man is prime cock-cheese. Plenty of people have had a problem with him, which sort of says it all really.

Disagree ...he seems to be breaking with his inherent spiviness

Clarke has sprained (rotated?) his ankle and is in serious doubt for tomorrow's match.

Bailey has been struck on the hand in the nets and is in doubt too.

Bailey had previously been struck on the talent bone...bone is shattered and beyond repair

Warner to captain?

Given that Clarke is skipper and Bailey is V.C., Bob Simpson may be in line for a second recall to take the reins.

aaaaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeee

is this the Hildy, Bernie and Simmo endgame?

all they would need for the complete ruination of Oz cricket is the return of the Audi of Oz cricket to open the innings (ie Kjnr)...

Cricket Australia always putting more less into the meaning of " just another meaningless one day international"
