gonna be a fascinating series!!!!

 

[Nirav85]

i hope my satellite is up by then ^_^

i lvoe series like these because aus is weak against spin on these tracks but doesnt mean they play like ban, they r just weaker so it is going to be even matched and not a one sided contest...i am so excited

 

[temp]

Yeah, me too. Btw I am very excited for the all next coming series.

I think the selection of Brad Hogg in the touring party is a little interesting. He couldn't get a game against India in the VB series, and the Sri Lankans are up there with the best against spin, so I wonder how much of a go Hoggys gonna get, I think it might have been a good time to get a young spinner in there (Hauritz, Cameron White), thoughts??

. He couldn't get a game against India in the VB series,

B) who told u that he dint play in the vb series.

 

[Blitzkreig86]

I kinda watched it, and he didnt play against India, so I put 2 and 2 together <_<

 

[Nirav85]

he played like one match i think as 12th man

 

[Blitzkreig86]

My point i though, what's the point of picking a spinner and not playing him?? Seriously, do you think Andrew Symonds and Michael Clarke are better spinners than Hogg??

He definetly played a match i dunno if it was against India or Zimbabwe

Clarke and Symonds are in the teams as allrounders, meaning they can bat and bowl, so why wouldn't you bowl them?

 

[ricky123]

B) he played 3 matches
