FFS, if they pick Watson over Fleas, the NSP needs a good slappin'.

If this were to happen, Fleas would just about have to be the first man to be dropped twice from a Test side after scoring a ton.

And methinks the Subis will feast on Yuvdunitagain.

at least with this bowling attack we won't have to worry about slips dropping catches

by skully Fri 12 Sep 2008, 06:02

Aye.

And if any Vomits are lurking, how's Siddle's shoulder? It was rooted in the Shield Final.

All that throwing in from the boundary

by skully Fri 12 Sep 2008, 06:07

Aye. But in the end he was throwing left handed just like a girl, courtesy of the state of his right shoulder.

Which was probably appropriate, because all his team mates had lifted their skirts by that stage.

Peter Siddle VIC 23

any info? are they any good? expected choices? the future of australian cricket?

by skully Fri 12 Sep 2008, 07:41

Bollinger had a good Shield season - leftie quick who swings it in and moves it away. Went to Windies with last squad.

Krejza - hack offspinner that left NSW to have a go in Tassie. Done nothing. Strange selection.

McGain - leggie, had a goodish Shield season for Vics, but was more penetrative in DODs.

Siddle - right arm quick, had a good season for Vics, looks pretty good, but maybe a tad surprising to seem him picked.

I think we are really gonna struggle, especially if dust bowls get served up.
