Lol. Even if we accept what you say about Haddin is true, Maxy has had 24 brain fades in his last 24 matches.

If we exclude the ashes series Haddin has averaged about 5 over the last 3 years and before that he let through 30 byes a game.

All Australian
The point still stands, its hardly the stuff of leadership and Haddin is a serial offender

Not long until we find out. Into his last 12 months now
He'll screw us over at some point. His brain fades will ensure that is the case.Maxwell will be in and around the side only because he won't be any worse as a containing ODI spinner than X and even in poor form he'll offer more as a batsmen. Have not advocated this summer for him to be in as a batsmen, his form doesn't warrant it.
White shouldn't be in the ODI side but his domestic form is why he's on the periphery. Pretty simple I would have thought.
The one question you refuse to answer is why quote me on Henriques just to bring up Haddin vs Wade

What ... ? Because you posted your ins and outs for the Australian team. And they were totally inconsistent with an omission you'd advocated earlier (ie before you fell completely silent during a magnificent innings from Haddin). It's not hard to work out, I wouldn't have thought?

magnificent innings?!?! LOL he made 42 against our bunnies, now Smith's was a magnificent innings
.Secondly I 'fell silent' as I was actually out and missed part of the match. My lack of posting on the match at all would indicate that.
What still stands is Henriques out. Watson in.
. Thank * for M.Marsh it would be disturbing if Moises was the 1st reserve all rounder.

Why am I not surprised
I didn't see any of the match, but didn't Maxwell make a solid 30s score and bat with Smith for a long period after a couple of quick wickets? That seems ok to me
I have no idea. Why is Triple M the highest rating station during footy season? Must be a few clueless idiots out there like meWhy am I not surprised

Didn't see part of our innings but the scorecard reads 37 minutes at the crease.
Edit: 10 overs and 1 ball at the crease.

MMM isn't bad for footy I guess but despite being a former FC cricketer he comes off as the ugly duckling, a fish out of water. Tries to hard to be funny.
Eh, I don't love him as much during the cricket, but I've never been one to really be bothered about commentating. He's awesome on Triple M though, maybe he's just better suited to radio.
I'd say he played his role fairly well then. Besides Smith, his score was par with the other top scorers for the innings

Doherty is the better bowler
I just took a quick look at your posting history tonight to see how well that excuse stands up. Haddin batted roughly between about 9:10 and 10:05pm AEDT. Strangely enough, you made a string of posts consistently throughout that whole time - 8 in all, and 7 of them about cricket, I think. None about Haddin, though - just the complete silence about his innings that I was (very correctly) referring to.
Doesn't look very like much like you were "out" and had to "miss" that part of the match at all.

I think he's a fish out water per say as imo some of the best cricket commentators talk about the game (Jim Maxwell. Bhogle, Moorfoot, Chappell, Bill and Richie) but he can't shake off the blokey have a laugh persona which suits him well amongst Lyon, Spud, Purple, Dunstall etc.

Possibly a case of pro's vs cons of both players. Both better at one discipline and not as good at the other.
The funniest part is when the fat guy falls over the fence.

its called ratings, the TV rating system has approx 5000 rating boxes. 3k for the metro & 2k for the country, yet that speaks for 23 million people.
work the radio ratings out your self, when you have an idea, let the rest of us know

Thank god George Bailey will be back for the next match. Smith is an excellent batsman, but I don't think he's that great a captain. Several poor decisions in this game nearly lost it for us, but I can't fault his century it was superb.
I don't know why Haddin played that shot that got him out. I think if he left it they would have called it a wide. He's an exciting batsman in this format but like all big hitters he seems prone to getting carried away. Often the cause of his demise. I think Maxwell is a bit the same, plays unnecessary shots.
The fat guy over the fence was the highlight. They should have given him Man of the Match.
