Would you trust Watson's catching?

A Watson sitter over a Haddin screamer? Yes.

Should have declared earlier. Might as well throw the bat around a bit now.

Reallu hope this pitch deteriorates. 2 average batting sides have combined for a total of 1000 runs. Poor

Aye t. The MCG drop-in has been a blancmange for numerous years now.

Still, a quick wrap up by Aus tomoz then a quick 320 could set up a fascinating finish.

I would seriously have his babies if I could.

As many justifiable man-crushes here as in the Nein commentary box.

Well played by E-Koli and Ra-knee. We never looked like getting them out. And I enjoyed Coaly's verbals with Midge. Very Happy

Why would it be when he is healthy & taking wickets. Would you drop him for Starc FFS!!. Who would come into the squad to replace him? The leading Shield wicket taker this year is Fekete with 24 at a 19 average. Good figures but he is just not 'fashionable' enough for a callup. The next best is Rimmington. For all the hoopla about Abbott,Patinson, Cummings, Sayers & Bird etc the fact is they hav'nt done enough to warrant consideration.....not that that ever stopped our selectors i guess.
He's taking wickets, but he's being held together by string.

not any more. i sent him a roll of duct tape for xmas

Rhino is a ledg. Wheel him out in a barrow, as long as he still grabs poles.

I hope he has enough in the tank for the World Cup

Stuff the World Cup. The Ashes!

Sageness. How could anyone think of a Jamodi competition when the Ashes are just around the corner?

What lovely scenes of bigmouthery today. Beautiful to watch

Rain forecast.

by Blackadder Sun 28 Dec 2014, 22:47

Only a few scattered showers by the looks of things, can't envisage much time being lost.

Wicket on the second ball of the day again.

by Basil Sun 28 Dec 2014, 23:35

Just seen Johnson's throw at Kohli on replay. All I can say is that Kohli went down as though he'd been shot. He.Is. A. Bit.Of. A Girl.

by Ethics? The Gall! Sun 28 Dec 2014, 23:45

so india lose the last 7 wickets for less than 60. what a team theyd be if their tail batted like ours.
