Yup I would hope so. Despite his bad technique he just looks a better player than Rogers.

The bookies at Sportsbet have Hodge as favourite to partner the big ugly FTB.

You are sentenced to type "there is no 'c' in Jaques" 100 times without cutting and pasting.

Gotta be pretty decent odds on Paris. It is more logical for Paris to open and Hodge to bat at 4.

by tac Mon 17 Sep 2007, 10:16

But Ponting et al have stated that Paris will bat at 4, at least to begin with.

There's no such thing as logic where Victorians are involved.

Stoopid MacDill

CRICKET Australia (CA) blasted Stuart MacGill for a lack of leadership after the leg-spinner was fined for a fiery outburst during Australia A's tour of Pakistan.

MacGill has been fined 50 per cent of his match fee for breaching CA's code of behaviour during Australia A's match against Pakistan A in Faisalabad.

The behavioural lapse comes at a bad time for the 36-year-old MacGill, who is attempting to resurrect his international career.

MacGill has taken 198 wickets in 40 Tests and is in a strong position to reclaim his Test spot for this summer's matches against Sri Lanka and India, following Shane Warne's retirement.

But on MacGill faced Australia A coach Dene Hills, captain Adam Voges and vice-captain Cameron White to explain his conduct.

YT should have recommended he be suspended for a few Tests...

by Chandan Mon 17 Sep 2007, 12:56

But what did he do? Macgill, I mean?

by Chivalry Augustus Mon 17 Sep 2007, 13:04

Michael Hussey should open, with David Hussey brought in to bat at 5:

Matthew Hayden
Michael Hussey
Ricky Ponting
Michael Clarke
David Hussey
Andrew Symonds/Ricky Ponting's Love Child
Adam Gilchrist
Brett Lee
Stuart MacGill
Stuart Clark
Shaun Tait

from CA:
"The player was reported under clause 2.6 of the CA Code of Behaviour which relates to “use [of] language that is obscene, offensive or of a generally insulting nature to another player, official or spectator”.

MacGill was reported following an incident towards the closing stages of the match, where MacGill approached Pakistan A’s Mansoor Amjad after the player was struck on the foot from one of MacGill’s delivery’s."

Uh oh!

by Chivalry Augustus Mon 17 Sep 2007, 15:31

Realistically, that will be the bottom four. I was only really picking a batting order and adding the most probably tail on. Personally, I'd play Hilfenhaus instead of Tait, but I don't see it happening.

suspect that magoo has played his last game for any Oz Team...the selectors and the board must have had him up to the back teeth...suspect he might move to pakistan to join up with glawson

Sniffy moves further ahead of Rogers . . .
