Australia has named their 17 man West Indies and Ashes Test squad
Only 9 NSW players so we could be in trouble Test squad Michael Clarke (capt), Steven Smith (vice-capt), Fawad Ahmed, Brad Haddin, Josh Hazlewood, Ryan Harris (Ashes only), Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Peter Nevill, Chris Rogers, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Adam Voges, David Warner, Shane Watson. FFS why do they keep picking Sean Marsh??? He is useless. And surely Siddle, great servant that he has been, is past it?? Thought there would have been a spot for Gurinder Sandhu and Pat Cumminns (both NSW players naturally ). However both are on the Australian A tour to India. Sandhu would have been great in England as being of Indian heritage, he'd have got a lot lot of those Indians that we hear the Poms moaning about, coming to the games to support the Aussies Still on a bright note, we now have a wicket taking leggie back in the Test squad and even better, there is only one Queensland player in the squad and even he was born in NSW!!! Go 'Straya!!!

Bazz, although Siddle is in the touring squad, he has not been given a CA contract. Means he'll only get match payments, unless he plays 3 tests, in which case he must be given a contract, but on the lowest pay scale.
The thinking seems to be that that they'll burn him up in the WI and tour matches to protect the two Mitch's, then say so long when he's no longer needed. Harsh treatment for a loyal servant. And not just a Victorian, but a Dandenong boy to boot!

Good signing that by the Bears. McCullum should add some spice to the T/20.

Sounds like a right load of bullshit and just an attempt to drive revenue into some TV companies bank account. Offering Pup a 10 year contract worth $50m is complete bollocks. Doubt Pup's body will endure another 2 years of international cricket.

Good low scoring Test ended in Bridgetown yesterday with a win for the WIndies, or should that be WIndies B team as most of their top players are playing in the IPL. That drew a Test series that England should have really dominated and won 3-0. It was claimed on Sky that one of the selectors had openly stated if England did not win the series convincingly then “heads would roll”. Could be the usual media bullshit or maybe something will be done as it needs to be.
What goes on with the England team defies belief at times. England were all out just before lunch, resulting in the WIndies openers having to face 1 over before lunch. No opener fancies that. So Cook then sets a field that only includes 3 slips. WTF? Typically straight on the defensive from the off. Two part-time spinners in Moeen and Root bowling. Broad not bowling too well but his batting has gone completely to shit. Buttler bats so far down the order that he ends up batting with the tailenders. Trott? Maybe his time has gone but he has just announced his retirement from International cricket. NZ next then the Ashes. I can’t see England doing anything what so ever other than being whitewashed. |
