From one of your cam hores?

Nah, not from any whore. All the whores will be sozzled and on the spit. I've romantic things in mind.

 

[lmach]

Ew, no. Gross.

Just noticed I mis-spelt whores.

Some reading, some music, a movie, then to wherever there's fireworks.

Still praying for some major worldwide catastrophe in 2012.

Easy Tiger. You might be asleep by midnight

YOLO

Wow, I didn't realise Watson was that old. I thought he was around the 27 mark. If not for injuries, he could have been so much more...

I also didn't know that Khawaja is 26, I imagined he would have been several years younger than that. Have fun in Byron, I wish I could go down but I'll have to spend my new years in Mooloolaba.

What's everyone doing for NYE?

Going with someone's girlfriend to the beach.

Who also happens to be one of my best friends.

Fair enough, the kid likes hores.

 

[Cat_Attack !]

You gonna get on the groggski ?

Already stocked up. Haha.

Hope he doesn't give up bowling since he's one of many players that can get 1-3 wickets on a good day.

I'd say he needs to open again, Along with Clarke moving up the order.

 

[Hand]

Clarke bats best at 5. Plus that's his preferred position. You'd think Khawaja will replace Hussey, therefore him and Hughes will be 3/4.

 

[lmach]

If we're talking test squads, I'd like to see this:

Warner
Cowan
Hughes
Clarke (c)
Khawaja
Watson (v/c)
Wade
Johnson
Pattinson
Siddle
Lyon

 

[Hand]

For me it would be the same lmach, just swap Khawaja and Clarke on the batting order. Pup likes batting and 5, and has made so many runs there. Why change what doesn't need to be fixed.

Also, I'm not sold on Nathan Lyon as a test spinner. Doesn't do much at all with the ball, bowls too fast and isn't consistent imo. Give Krejza or Beer another go.

 

[Willo #6]

I think it's almost my turn to be the Australian spinner.

 

[Hand]

Go for it Willo, I'm sure you'd be able to turn it as much as Lyon does. Maybe more.

Krejza - lol, just lol
Beer - Wouldn't be too against that

But Lyon's 4 years younger than both of them, with a better Test and First class record. He's doing alright, better than having a new spinner every 3 tests like most of the post Warne period.

 

[Willo #6]

Doherty is way ahead of Krejza, and probably Beer.

 

[Ochre]

Doherty is way ahead of Krejza, and probably Beer.

In limited overs absolutely but not in the longer forms.

 

[Ochre]

Well not over Beer at least

12 wickets against India IN India... That made me chuckle as well

The thing is that Beer and Krejza performed well in the few tests that they played each. Fair point you have regarding the new spinner every couple of tests. That went on for far too long. Baggy Greens were being handed out as if they were food samples at Coles. I just feel that they should've pursued with Krejza/Beer rather than Lyon. Age shouldn't be a factor for a spinner.. Just look at Brad Hogg.

 

[Willo #6]

After comparing their stats, I agree. Beer's first class record is pretty impressive.

But yeah, Krejza is lucky to even get into the Tasmanian first class squad these days. He plays more local cricket than state. While his Indian performance was impressive, the tracks in India certainly helped him put quite a lot.

Most of them were from the Indians trying to put him on the roof.

But a 25 year old has probably got more improvement in him than a 29 year old though. Lyon's not perfect but long term I expect him to be miles ahead of both the others.

 

[Ochre]

Also Hoggy is no ordinary man, and therefore can not be compared to these lightweights.

To be fair, no man can be compared to Hoggy.
