good onya Watto another class knock from the 'Golden Adonis'....to many starts for this fella, he is a prima donna, looks like one and plays like one....and he is Australia's VC.....the selectors might as well take a bunch of young unknowns to England for the ashes.....no point taking some of this known rabble.

How did our new Mr Hussey go? His stats still stack up at the same time of their careers?

conidering Hussey wasn't playing test cricket at 26 yrs of age Terror, anything Henriques does over the next few years will be more than what Hussey did!.

Anyway Hussey is in the past, no point pining over him mate......be interested to see what the selectors do now.....if Lyon and Starc got dropped for doing nothing in the first test, wonder who's gonna replace Warner, Watson, Hughes, Henriques and Siddle for the next test......Kwajha for Hughes, Johnson for Henriques, Starc for Siddle, Smith for Watson and then bring back Watson for Warner .....

Another inept start tot he innings.
Where defence should have been the way out to see out the day,both Warner and Hughes were out sweeping to balls that pitched outside their leg stumps. Shouldn't they have just padded the balls away!!Kicked them away like batsmen used to do against Warne.
I am no expert but that just seemed like the two had committed suicide,and left the team in the lurch.
It is going to take a huge effort from those remaining batmen to at least add some decency tot he score.

i am sure Wade will come out with something positive a/man

I wold expect stevie j or kelly to say, we have trained the best we can and intend to give it our best shot and hopefully come away with the 4 points. I wouldnt expect them to come out and say we expect to beat Collingwood by 15 goals. Confience is one thing, making "tossa" statements is another thing altogether, especialy from a bloke who has never toured India, and has played half a dozen tests.

Easy to bag a guy who has a belief that goes wrong.
Good to see the tall poppy syndrome is still alive and well not only in Australia but still alive here like it was on FG.
If he had of said we can't win from here, you would have still called him a tosser and a defeatist..Can't have it both ways Unka.

Self belief is great..being out of touch with normality and logic is another thing. Tall popppy syndrome my ar$e... dont reckon any cricket follower would have brought Wades opinion.
Why didnt he say it would be very difficult to win from here but it is possible..ITS THAT SIMPLE a/man. Still he was "only" 250 runs off with his prediction!!
