Upon completion of watching the second Twenty20 between Australia and Sri Lanka, I felt that there were a few things I should talk about.…
Here's a quick look at our likely top seven, their statistics, how they play spin and how I think they will play in the…
Michael Clarke is faced with a huge challenge this year, mainly the back to back Ashes series, but first the Indian tour beginning in…
We all loved Adam Gilchrist, the legend of Australia cricket, whose inconsistent but often breathtaking displays with bat and glove dominated highlight reels for…
Brian – Again very good points, which I did not really consider. A few of the batsmen had experience in the West Indies last year which are similar type of pitches to Indian conditions, but as you stressed we are underprepared. The one thing I truly believe is that we are in no way a certainty to win the series with the ease that England recently did.
The Indian series will be drawn, not won
Johnno – Yep spot on mate. You’ve hit the nail on the head, Herath had magnificent variation in the series, he was often around the 78km mark and then ripped in an armball here and there and used flight to the best of his ability. Lyon could learn a thing or two there.
SAAD – Hey saad, I’m sorry but unless he really digs in and makes a big score in a crucial innings (if he even makes it to the Indian series) the Indian series will be his last in the baggy green, I can see Hughes and Warner opening with Khawaja at 3.

Wade will sort it out, his keeping to fast bowlers is adequate but to spin not so much. He’s 25, remember Marsh and Gilly when they first started? He will only get better, if he sorts out his keeping to spin he’s the best wicketkeeper batsmen in the world
Aussie spin stocks set for Indian workout
Wade will rise to the challenge of keeping in India, his keeping to the fast bowlers IMO has been superb but the same can’t be said for his keeping to spin, give him time to sort it out fellas, it’s a technical issue, nothing more, Healy will be in his ear and once he fixes his keeping to spin he is better than Prior
Australia are not ready for Ashes - yet
Yes Frankie I could see that happening! It would be awesome to see for sure
