Good one Shane-its-all-about-me-Watson. What a waste of a review.

Yep, I wouldn't have picked him, he isn't an opener and if I was Clarke I would have said to him you bat at 6 or you can F##K OFF HOME, he is a 30`s man, struggles to bowl more than a spell (I reckon I could fix this though) and is not a team man it seems. Ordinary all around

And the spin off from that was that Rogers didn't refer his one and guess what....

I can't remember when Australia batting has been such a shambles since the mid 80's

I agree its time to give Watto the flick.

Good grief! I think the Aussies will be pushing water up-hill. Apparently the batting conditions are perfect and we're currently 6 down for 92
Can't rely on the tail enders to hold up the team.

OMG The Australian Cricket team is a disgrace.. Now we know it wasnt the Coach who do we clean out... Yep the selectors.. Lets go to a Young squad and rebuild..Agar is a good start ... 6 for 96 FARK!
Maybe Rudd would be the go he has proved Bullshit baffles Brains

Thanks for that Cardy, I think we all need something to have a laugh about. I think the Trent Bridge test gave us a false sense of hope. Young Agar will learn more from this test than he did from his first and hopefully the media will leave him alone for a while.

Oh oh.... 7 down for 96 at tea. I don't mean to be a wet blanket but we can wave this test bye bye.

I suppose every dog has its day mate.. Australia dominated for a long time and have hit the wall but we will return.
Bit like Footy Teams who have a bad run and then come back big time.

Gee its going to be nice when we Win the ashes on their next tour of Australia if we sort it out

I think that is a bit optimistic to turn this around in 6 months. Unfortunately there are no other batsman putting their hands up to replace these guys although I can't help wondering if Adam Voges would be a better option than Khawaja, Hughes and Smith. He has a much better technique than any of those three and had a pretty good domestic season. But he's not in the squad........

Mate one player who should of been kept and offered a lot was Mike Hussey
We need players like him. I know he put it down to family reasons but suspect he saw the discontent in the side and pulled the pin..
There are a few who have performed well in Aussie Shield and over looked
Maybe it is time for the selectors to pick a team on Form rather than whos getting a lot of media

Australian cricket reeled with shock when Hussey announced his decision to finish playing the international game, and it is no secret the team hierarchy would have preferred to be informed further in advance

Here is an article I found while trolling for these comments on Mike.. WA Team for 2013 / 2014

Might be of interest to WA FANS.. The WA Team looks good and I think WA will certainy be in on the Money in 2013/2014... I can see a couple of test prosects here as well
