James Mortimer: Interesting points raised by all. Still, I think that the Tah’s will suffer, especially if Hickey does look to implement a more expansive gameplan. History does show that they struggle when shifting gameplans. Their...
Towser: Pippinu Off subject but regarding the top 4 leagues in the world. Just some basic stats from Wikipedia:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U EFA_Champions_League Overall Italy,Spain England won 11 each Germany 6 Netherlands 6 Since...
Who Needs Melon: James, LAS, sheek and Spiro, This is just a chance for you guys to show off! I’ve been watching rugby - mostly Australian rugby - closely for about 20 years. I’d be confident about putting together my best...

Tom: Considering our major problem (apart from the failure of Hayden and Hussey to score runs) has been our inability to bowl the South Africans out, I’m sure Clark would have been hugely beneficial.
Tom: After he was dismissed for 39, I would say no. We cannot afford for him to continue failing and exposing the middle order to the new ball early on.
Mick of Newie: Sorry Tony but Katich opened with Jaques in the West Indies because Hayden was injured. Hayden returned in India when Jaques was injured. Last time Jaques and Katich batted together in a test they both got hundreds. When...
