    Get back in your box Neil Craig - you're not an innovator

    I'm utterly sick of seeing Neil Craig striding the boundary line like he's bringing something special to coaching. Since he's struck on this stupid idea, Adelaide has been the worst it's been under him. Maybe not the only reason, but given he's a poor enough matchday coach as it is, he doesn't...

    Embarrassing

    This is not a kneejerk thread. I've said this before. I'll say it again. I don't see why Craig is the one to take this club forward. We're soft. We lose games we shouldn't. We fall to pieces under pressure - today's panicky disposals a perfect example. These are all consistent hallmarks of the...

    Cosgrove has to be in our next Test team

    This is getting beyond ridiculous. We're picking out-of-form openers (Hughes), clearly unready batsmen (Smith), carrying out-of-form middle order players (Clarke, Ponting). Cosgrove, season after season, is putting his name up there. He's killed it for Tasmania this season, averaging 57 mostly...

    Wasn't this the season of White?

    The bloke has stunk it up in every form of the game this season. T20Is? Elevated to captain, couldn't buy a run and captained poorly with questionable tactics. ODIs? Can't buy a run again, puts a massive brake on the innings while he "gets himself set" and plays horrible shots that look like...

    Why Paine? Haven't we learnt a lesson?

    Look, the kid is promising. Nothing more. Yet all of a sudden we are doing exactly the same thing we did with Clarke - anointing a potential performer as a future Test captain. Frankly, Paine doesn't stack up yet, nor should we be giving the sort of guarantees that he is next in line. Let's...

    Massive respect for Kallis

    Wow. Isn't this just the kind of player we need right now. Anybody who claims Kallis plays for himself should never post here again. Just hit his 40th Test ton, second of the match, with a crippling side strain and the whole team falling apart around him. From the Saffies barely setting a...

    Siddle: the bowling version of North

    Seriously, this bloke gets way too much cred. He is, almost to a tee, the bowling version of Marcus North. North was detested, yet Siddle gets so much credit. Frankly, who gives a shit if he is "wholehearted"? Most of the time, he does absolutely nothing with the ball, bowls rubbish and is...

    Memo to selectors: pick players in form

    This is just depressing, pathetic and ridiculous. Hughes did not deserve to be picked. His first class form has been disgraceful. In no world, ever, does an average of 13 from a fairly significant number of games justify returning to the side in a pressure match. And, lo and behold, Hughes...

    Where does Sangakkara rank among the greats?

    Surely pretty bloody highly, but nobody ever talks about him in the ranks of the Laras, Tendulkars, Pontings etc Frankly, I reckon he'd have to be up there. Has performed everywhere, against every team. Currently average 57+, which is superlative on its own. In the 45 Tests he's played not as...

    Why do SA keep picking Duval?

    The guy's a dud. Has been given plenty of chances and never performs. He's a waste of space as a bowler. Would rather any of Putland, Haberfield or even a rookie. For that matter, Cassell is not much better. Why pick an old, injured hack who couldn't make it in Victoria?

    Ferg to play First Test?

    Nielsen has come out and said Ferguson is "in the mix" to play the first Ashes Test. Interesting that he identified Ferg specifically. Who'd be under pressure? Hussey? North? You'd think it'd be unlikely on North given he made a 100 in the last Test...but Martin Love has plenty to say about that...

    Cabinet Minister undermining Gillard?

    Very interesting? Who could this be? Judging by the hints dropped by the Advertiser - Cabinet Minister, male, "rising star", leadership contender...it sounds like it has to be Greg Combet. He's the only one who really fits the bill, Ludwig probably isn't a leadership contender and Swan/Rudd...

    Are Carlton trying to get a reputation as the worst traders around?

    Everyone saw Carlton brutalise Brisbane in a trade last year. But that's partly because Fev fell apart again, and Voss is an idiot. But it seems this year, Carlton's "Swanbrains and Icky" are going all out to make themselves known as the most unprofessional, amateur traders around. They've let...

    Kloppers comes out in favour of carbon tax and mining tax

    Not a good day for the Coalition. Smashed by someone they thought would be in their corner. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/bhp-boss-marius-kloppers-its-time-for-carbon-tax/story-e6frg8zx-1225924335319 Can't disagree with him - carbon tax makes a lot more sense. Funny to see the...

    Society/Culture Federer - the epitome of the sore loser?

    Maybe there's a tennis forum, but I thought it would be interesting here given the all-encompassing fame of this bloke. Is it just me, or does he never give credit to an opponent when he loses? He always talks about the mistakes he made, the effort he put in...Djokovic beats him today and he...
