Was just thinking for the long awaited return of Victoria to the MCG, the greatest ground in history, a ground where we are at our best, what other victorians thoughts were on the teams for the upcoming matches
As much as I have waited for Mick Lewis to get the new ball in his hand {deleted} v Ponting {deleted} before smashing his middle stump out of the ground, but could it be time we actually dropped Mick? Harwood is supposed to be fit and in our only one dayer so far Lewis struggled with the ball whilst Moss, McDonald and Lindsay bowled just the 6 overs between them and following Lindsays brilliant batting he wont be dropped and Harwood was our no1 bowler. Plus the poor batting display should see Quiney put into the side as opener and push Hodge, Hussey and White back to their normal positions
Then for the 4 dayer it would seem wrong to drop Moss or McDonald who did so well with the ball so surely it comes down to Lewis or Harwood and Harwood is probably the better option right now
So my teams would be
Ford Ranger: Klinger, Quiney, Hodge, Hussey, White, Moss, McDonald, Lindsay, Crosthwaite, Harwood, Denton
Pura Cup: Mash, Jewell, Hodge, Hussey, White, McDonald, Moss, Crosthwaite, Warne, Harwood, Denton
Thoughts?
I must say I am looking forward to finally getting back to the G after the horrible couple of years at the Junktion
