And some bloke I met down the pub last night, General Haig, Mrs Haig of course and General Haig's pet tortoise, Reggie.

of course there is no room for Australia's best fast bowler - the goat...maybe he is not eligible to play now that he has represented the Dutch

by JGK Thu 23 Jul 2009, 05:55

So Tim Paine is next keeper on the JAMODI rank.

by Bradman Thu 23 Jul 2009, 06:10

There does seem to be at least four obviously players missing. Maybe five.

Shaun Marsh FFS!

Ricky Ponting (c) TAS

A bit surprising that they've announced that so soon, one would have thought......

Well the NSP is only part time and do have other jobs. Hopefully their other employers are more forgiving than the Australian public.

Rofl @Hennie...Strauss the louse is more likely to get sacked for unsportsmanlike conduct and replaced by bell by the 5th test

Hodge doesn't have to do much to earn his lucrative retainer. Very Happy

if he can't even get in the extended squads, why did they bother to contract him?

by skully Thu 23 Jul 2009, 12:02

Fark, looking at that squad we are clearly in the dark part of the Aus Anderson Cycle. Shocked

Won't Mrs Hodge be sh!tty. Cool

Shaun Marsh FFS!

Apart from a dodgy hammy he is one of the better performers in JAMODIs of late

by skully Thu 23 Jul 2009, 13:47

Still PMSL that Podge isn't in the "best 30" and Tait, Holland and McKay are. Very Happy

Aye, WTF has he done wrong Suspect

Averaging 41 in ODIs with a st/rate of 75...

by Nath Fri 24 Jul 2009, 01:37

He's soft in the body like Watson and Tait

by Zat Fri 24 Jul 2009, 01:38

Poor form. Tait's soft in the head, Nath.

Two heads are better than one.

Ricky Ponting (c) TAS on his last legs
Michael Clarke (vc) NSW maybe 2 years, recurrent shagger's abck permititng
Doug Bollinger NSW finished, they shoot horses don't they?
Nathan Bracken NSW strictly dancing in Wonderland
Callum Ferguson SA finished
Brett Geeves TAS retired, too many injuries
Brad Haddin NSW finished, we know it, but still has one leg nailed to the ground behind the stumps
Ryan Harris QLD held together by durex and fencing wire, maybe has a year
Nathan Hauritz NSW must have shat in Hildy's lunchbox or smell like a skunk, file marked
Moises Henriques NSW who?
Ben Hilfenhaus TAS ageing Tassie legend ... but will need some help, proably won't play post 2013 Ashes
Jon Holland VIC has he not had a test yet? what happened there? spin it too much? not from NSW?
James Hopes QLD never quite made it
Phillip Hughes NSW oh dear, it's bad when you have to move to Adelaide to make runs
David Hussey VIC Methuselah's little brother, might get a game before rigor mortis sets in
Mike Hussey WA plays better with established rigor mortis than most of the others
Mitchell Johnson WA he sprays it to the left, he sprays it to the right
Jason Krejza TAS one hit wonder
Brett Lee NSW team mascot
Shaun Marsh WA physiotherapist's delight and professional talent waster
Andrew McDonald VIC not good enough
Clinton McKay VIC ditto
Marcus North WA ditto
Tim Paine TAS Lazarus returns, well, we can still hope, 2012 will tell
Peter Siddle VIC has made the most of his ability, exceeded all expectations
Shaun Tait SA FMD, what a waste of space
Adam Voges WA nearly, always nearly
David Warner NSW yesterday's joke selection is today's hope, or at least hype. Where's he from again?
Shane Watson NSW lots of hamstring and not much neural tissue
Cameron White VIC token ginger

This squad of 30, chosen just two years ago by Hilditch and his dog ... looked useless when chosen, and looks even worse in retrospect. Where are the Test replacements for Ponting, M Hussey, Clarke, Katich? No wonder the first 3 are still expected to tour England in 2013 and most likely be our best batsmen, on whom the fate of the series will depend. How depressing. Cowan, Watson, Warner are the additions and that makes our top 6.

Get Butters in there.

by MrPrez Tue 03 Jul 2012, 13:15

Why didn't Voges get more time considering the lack you guys have?

Also, is krejza not still in reckoning? Was pretty decent back against SA (although tbf it was SA).

by Henry Tue 03 Jul 2012, 13:30

Butterworth? 125kph tosh. Australia's answer to Jon Lewis FFS.

by lardbucket Tue 03 Jul 2012, 13:30

He bats well too. The new Koala.
