Keep spreading the love, hey bro!

yeah the "bro" word is a well used classic over here ...you know me JB always doing my best to educate folk....wanted or not ..... whether that be you mate there in sunny Perth or these daft rugby lovin Kiwi's over here!!......a samaritans good work is never done or appreciated


Good to see young leggie Adam Zampa help run through the banana benders today, to set up a SA victory.....oh for another match winning leggie.......touch wood the kid's confidence & repertoire builds to Warnies ever so high levels!!

Brutal reality check this for Australia after the triumphs of the past 12 months. Asking for trouble with only one warm up game prior to playing in completely foreign conditions. All players should be coming home and getting some practice in the shield instead of participating in the meaningless T20/One dayers against South Africa. I don't think there will be too many changes for the first test against India, apart from Watson for Maxwell (who was a bizarre choice for a test match), but guys like Rogers, Haddin, Siddle and Lyon are on notice and need to perform early in the summer.

From what I have seen Sandhu at least bowls a farken decent line and length and TAKE wickets in most forms of the games he has played in so far at the tender age of 21.....also delivers the ball from some decent height BH.....which even at a McGrath like pace is still difficult to play......yeah he is no McGrath I know that.....but Siddle has had his day and a 'younger" prospect needs to be given a go......one preferably south of being 30 yrs age....FMD Feteke Swandog.....you are taking the piss...surely?

Mate I know who I would rather face! And so what if Fekety is nearly 30? Coming in to peak time..and don't you rate a 5 for v West Australia?

There are some good fast bowling prospects coming from our own state for the first time in a while freeze- NCN is hopefully finally over his injury concerns, Paris, Duffield, Makin et al.

Both Ryan Harris & Johnson are 30 plus, thought Harris didn't get a gig at test level until he was nearly 30, would'nt want to face either. And you'd have to say both were "journey men", some mature and find their "mojo" later than others. Perhaps the AFL could learn from that.

Too true mate!

We are returning to a golden age of pacemen like when we had Capes, Mathews, Reid, Julian, Macleay, Angel, Alderman etc, great days

one can only hope Feteke is another Harris in the making then......pretty sure Harris's test debut was delayed due to his numerous injuries, since his state debut for SA in 2001 when he was 22

as for WA paceman BH.....yeah WA have some gooduns there, hopefully they can stay injury free, develop and push for national honours in the very near future.....

I guess Hopes 5 for v WA puts him in line for Aust selection now......at 30 yrs plus James is coming into his prime as well
