The point is that Elgar has scored more at a better average. He would walk into the Aussie test team.

Ok but do you rate RR?

by taipan Thu 01 Aug 2013, 13:43

Not consistent enough for tests yet.

Looks like Doolan & Maddison are trying to making a game of it.

FFS!! should have kept my mouth shut. Doolan gone for 48.

de Lange has only bowled one over in the second innings. Looks like he's injured again.

by Big Dog Fri 02 Aug 2013, 09:40

The collapse is on. Paine gone for 5. No show gets a pair..which hopefully will end his international career.

by Henry Fri 02 Aug 2013, 09:42

For all the talk of how hard done by Paine is, he really doesn't have a very good first class record with the bat. One century in 110 innings. That's pretty woeful. And you can't say he's a promising young kid anymore- He'll be 30 next year. Perhaps he's just not very good?

Yeah....well..a crippling hand injury will do that for a keeper/batsman. Even so..he's still a better keeper than Wade & Haddin.

by Henry Fri 02 Aug 2013, 09:51

A better keeper, yes. But with the bat he tends to be more style than substance.

Before his injury he was better than both Wade & Haddin. He still deserves a chance, given Australia's lack of talent at the moment.

Not if he keeps batting the way he is. Nevill or Hartley might get a go first. Or one of those two young keepers from South Australia and WA.

I'd still play Paine ahead of Wade & Haddin in this ashes.

by Henry Fri 02 Aug 2013, 10:01

I'd play you ahead of Haddin or Wade.

Meh....i was a swing bowler.

by Henry Fri 02 Aug 2013, 10:08

So is Wade, and he's in the Aussie squad as a keeper.

Trev wins.

Aus 30 ahead with 2 wickets left. Harmer running through them

by taipan Fri 02 Aug 2013, 12:38

68 wanted for the win.

by Henry Fri 02 Aug 2013, 12:51

Harmer 8-78.

Is he any good? Never seen him bowl but he has a decent record.

He's been talked up by a couple who know. Only seen him in ODS.

by Red Fri 02 Aug 2013, 14:26

Aussies lose by seven wickets.
