so owing to the shocking selection policies of England / Ian Bell obviously having pictures of the odious Giles Clarke defiling the corpse of a dormouse, I guess I have lost my bet with @cooks1st100 - anyone give me a tip on how to transfer vcash?

i would just point out Ballance was outscoring Bell when he was dropped; that Bell is shit; and all this has done is make me hate Bell even more.

Ballance is going nowhere as a Test player until he learns to use his front foot and get to the pitch of the ball, might get away with it at county level but alas for him, his defences are all to easy breached at the highest level as his technique is somewhat flawed and test opposition captains and their bowlers know it.

Truly hope we can send off Buck Rogers and Pup with a good showing in this 5th test.

Both have been absolute warriors of the game.

Going to be a difficult transitional period for Australia over the next 12-24 months i feel.

Knowing the Aussie selectors, they'll keep Voges and recall Watson to the team. Personally? I'd look for some young batsmen. I'd limit Watson to limited overs because he's priceless in the shorter version, but I don't and haven't ever really seen him as a test cricketer.

Agree about Watson but would personally love to see Voges keep his place. With Clarke, Rogers, Haddin and Harris all departing it's vital to have a couple of experienced heads around the young team. Voges is a class act, has a lot to offer in my opinion.

Can someone tell me the value of v cash?

you use it on v hookers, v drugs, and v miscellany.[DOUBLEPOST=1439983654][/DOUBLEPOST]

He'll probably keep his spot now that Rogers has pulled the pin too. 3 new batsmen would be a bit much and not like they are banging the house down.

Didn't help.

He outscored Bell. But Bell, is mid 30's with a career over the hill. Ballance is mid 20's with a career in front. HUGE difference. You are quite obsessed btw.

Agreed. Voges is probably the only guy at domestic level that has been 'banging the door down' for a number of seasons. Would be a mistake to drop him.

Cheers Dave, Had Bell not played on his home turf I may well have still lost!! No pressure test now, expect another good innings from Bell.

I won't begrudge him a streaky 20 in his final test.

 

[Dingo Ate Me Baby]

Sure Anderson could have played, sure he could have lasted two and half days!

Siddle for Cummins. Oz.

Very well said. His lack of foot movement is puzzling. It worked in the CC because the pace is lower so you get that little bit extra of time. Also, you get more bad bowls, so you can score. When you have international bowlers bowling line and length almost every ball, you need to learn to move. He will get destroyed by South Africa bowlers, so hopefully he won't get selected until he goes away and works on his technique.[DOUBLEPOST=1440063752][/DOUBLEPOST]

Final test in England, maybe!
