Pup out with a sore hammy.

Rotation policy is working well then.

Will there even be 10,000 in at Melbourne? A dead-rubber JAMODI, being played on a Monday. How pathetic.

Oh, I see it's being played tomorrow. Skully just got the date wrong. They might just scrape 15,000 then.

Ah cheers Trev. Mea culpa.

Oi Fromberg, can you please do the honours and amend the date in the thread title to 10 Feb.

Cheers Cheesy.

Maybe Pup will be back up and running by then,

Remarkable MCG stat on Windies: didn't lose an ODI to Australia there until their 14th meeting. Now have won only 1 of the past 14

Will be interesting to see if Clarke's hammy can withstand the Indian series and the IPL and then back up to the CT and the Ashes.

If CA don't put a shed load of pressure on Clarke to pull out of the IPL I would be very surprised.

If CA Clarke's IPL team, backed by the BCCI, don't put a shed load of pressure on Clarke to pull out of play in the IPL regardless of injury concerns, I would be very surprised.

Fixed.

Had to chuckle at Twat tonight on Foxysports. Said something like it'll be a challenge to use his brain in a different way to batting and bowling.

I think he could have left it at "it will a challenge to use my brain".

If anyone can pull a muscle there, he can.

I suspect Quntouris will saunter onto the MCG when Twat is struggling...




...and apply the cold numbing spray...

...and Twatto will be all...

So, likely XI today?

Twat
Pie
Con
Beetle (is he fit?)
Vague
Haddit
Yoody
Midge/Denial/Fork/Arnie
Koo
Qunt
Doh

Or is it time for Qunt to have a rest?

I don't detect a lot of regard for that there unit, from their nicks.

Watson
Finch
Hughes
Marsh
Bailey (if fit)
Voges
Haddin
Faulkner
MJ
Coulter-Nile
Cutting
Doherty

official teams are:
Australia: Shane Watson, Aaron Finch, Phil Hughes, Shaun Marsh, Adam Voges, Brad Haddin, James Faulkner, Mitchell Johnson, Ben Cutting Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty

West Indies: 1 Kieran Powell, 2 Johnson Charles, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Dwayne Bravo, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Narsingh Deonarine, 7 Devon Thomas, 8 Darren Sammy, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Tino Best, 11 Kemar Roach

Windies bowling first

That has to be the shakiest top 6 we've played in a long time.

Watson plays on first ball to Best.

Twat out first ball. Lazy leave and the ball cannoned off the inside edge onto his stumps. WotaTwat.

What a useless qunt. If you are gonna let it go, farkin well put the bat over your head.

Good heat from Tino.

Pie is as farked in the head as Bog. Tino bounces him out. Now the farked Bog comes in at 2-2. The NSP needs rogering with a roll of barbed wire for only playing 5 bats. Qunts.

Feels good to watch a Windian pacer bowling a hostile spell against one of the top teams in the world.

Bog and Con consolidating.
