TBH there's probably quite a few retired Australian openers who could come out of retirement and play better than our second choice opener at the moment.

Marsh?

Michael Hussey averaged 55 as opener in test cricket...

I think he only did it in his first two tests.

England have dropped Anderson and Broad for their tour of the West Indies. After "resting" them here for inferior bowlers. It's like they don't even want to win.

8 innings across 5 tests.

Hang on sunshine, this is the age of participation certificates. A little cuddle, dry the tears and let him have another go. aww

Pat, Mitch, Josh, Nathan, Steve and Davie all really like this post .

They have a lot of respect for the Umpires and thank them for what they have done in the past, however its time for some change and a time to move on, they now call it " Collaborative Umpiring " is the new modern way to approach the game.



They are all over the modern game these NSW fellas.
They have even found a new sponsor and logo that CA can use for the front and back of their playing shirts.






Theses Cockroaches are pretty observant and have no trouble being able notice the difference between the rough and the smooth as its in play......
well unless if it's in South Africa, that is.

He opened and scored 89 at Joberg in 2006 the 2nd innings on a dodgy wicket when Australia had to chase 290 odd.

JL got concussed in the 1st innings from Ntini so Huss had to open 2nd innings.

Punter was going to stop JL batting from memory and declare the innings if they lost the 9th wicket kasprowicz and Lee were the last pair and had to get 20 runs to win and they did which prevented a major incident as JL was adamant he was going to bat and punter said no way.

I think people forget at State level for most of his career Huss was an opener.

I wonder if Chappelli rates Hussey?

In fairness, you won't get English conditions in the Windies so they'd basically be useless anyway. They'll give them the home summer as a farewell and put them out to pasture.

It's hard not to be parochial or even a bit conspiracy theorist, but I go back to the leaking of details in the media of something that happened 4 years ago. Paine, his sly and backhanded demise was only to make it easier to get at Langer. Pushed under the carpet when they needed a strong coach/captain to clean up the disgrace of South Africa but held up the sleeve for the appropriate knifing.

Jesus christ why would you give wade the gloves if you pick Inglis. Like this decision makes no sense. Give the better glovemen the ****ing gloves you hacks

Because Inglis is replacing Marsh.
Wade has a permanent place in the side and after the WC deserves to keep his spot.

He wouldn't want to keep poorly though.

Is he going to chuck down an over or two?

Wade shouldn’t have been dropped but you should pick the best keeper to keep in the game regardless. Wade was bloody atrocious in the t20 world cup when it came to his glove work

Yeah Tugga but I do not agree with Josh playing just as a specialist bat...might as well just pick a specialist t20 bat to replace marsh

I am a huge fan of josh would rather him keep or nothing

I think its a strange decision

but I am happy to see josh make his debut.... I hope I make sense

 

[Tugga27]

I can't remember him doing that bad TBH.
You can't give the gloves to Inglis in front of your regular keeper.
Josh is getting a go as a number 3.

I can see where you're coming from, but there's only Henriques and Head as bats left in the squad I think.

TBF, he's missed so much cricket lately, they're probably just giving him a crack.

Lets be honest, Ingo’s form of late hasn’t been anything special minus that one 70 he made. He’s getting a gig purely cause he is next in line keeper. He might as well take the gloves if he is playing. I honestly think Philippe is stiff. Has a good BBL but more importantly is having a great season alround and has made runs even in the 50 over format

I do, he was completely ****ed. Missed some park cricket shit. Wade is good enough to take a batting spot but give the gloves to anyone else please.

Head pulled out to play Shield leading up to the Pakistan tests.
