He’s been ridiculously mediocre in his ODI career. He lacks the variation or speed, too predictable.

Tahir does exactly what every leggie should do. Get’s some flight, and rips them through. He does need to work on his accuracy, but still, he’s a good bowler.
Won’t get a run at the WACA though. And rightly so.

Right on. I know Bailey is a shocking Test player (no off side play), but he’s a great ODI history. Plenty of gears.

You nailed it Joel! Richardson was a bit hard done by in my opinion.

I think that’s their side although they may want to bring Parnell in for Philander to bolster their batting.

Couldn’t agree more. That’s why India struggled in England because the majority of their Ranji trophy surfaces are roads. Still, we don’t have a traditional spinning wicket, so we need to expose them to that test early too.
Our spin solution – turn the SCG back into a dustbowl
I’m sorry but that makes no sense. How can they face good spin bowlers, and prepare for overseas conditions without pitches to encourage it. Also, scg spun well into the 2000s.

Problem is most IPL decks are hard and flat to provide lots of big scores. Kolkata tends to be the only one that turns a bunch.

I don’t think the hypocrisy end there. We create pitches which suit our quicks as well and are almost green-top heroes.

Sorry mate but I think you have this remarkably wrong. I agree with your top six, although Hughes has a few more innings to show himself the job.
Hartley? I wish you guys would stop banging this drum. Hes mediocre and missed his chance.
Sayers for Siddle? If you look back over the few years, hes taken the big scalps and the major break throughs consistently. And Boyce, well that’s you rolling the dice and not backing shield performances. If its red ball form it can’t be anyone else but Lyon or O’Keefe.
Six Test spots up for grabs in Brisbane
Actually the SCG pitch is one of the few in the country that is not a drop in. It’s there all year round.

Watch out for My Abivalent. Huge wraps on it and a renown stayer from abroad.
Still, i can’t go past the Shocking/Signoff similarities. If it was Kavanagh trained i’d throw the house on it!
2014 Melbourne Cup: Preview and top tips
Aussies only have one hope. Have a miraculous Warner innings, put on 700 in two days, and run down the pitch enough that it’s a mine filed to bat on. Start your prayers.
Australia in big trouble against Pakistan
Agreed. He even talks about the way their hips and feet align. I guess with a son and daughter taking up the craft he got really good at explaining the technical aspects.
Going in to bat for the wicketkeeper
The information is available we just need to manipulate it the right way.

This is becoming difficult to watch.

Is Maxwell in there to get a wicket or just get the over-rate up?
Need at least two more wickets before the new ball.

Not doubting the quality of the contest, more the fact it’s been slapped in between two other series in packed schedule.
It works out well as a lead up to WC, but fatigue is going to be an issue.
