Such bullsh*t.

Bollinger's spot in the side should be set in stone. He's the best pace bowler in the country and is in the world ODI and Test top 10. And they've left him out, ridiculous.

This again shows why Ricky Ponting is an appalling captain, because we all know it was his clout that got this selection over the line. Bollinger should be f#cking filthy with him![/quote:3pmfaxu0]
Damn that Ponting for making sure Siddle got selected.... [icon_lol1.

Someone needs to get some humours. :roll:

He has been selected for the match at the GABBA - and now has 6 and should have 7. So it's just looking like Johnson is the man who shouldn't have been selected aye.

Coming off a ton and 5 wicket haul not likely. It seems the selectors were correct in the team they have picked so far.
 
Totally orgasmic spell from Siddle. Very happy to have been proven wrong (for this game at least), although without hindsight I still maintain that Bollinger, of all the bowlers, had no case to be dropped. He's always a chance when he pitches it up, so if he can lose to tough-guy bang it in short rubbish, he'll continue to do OK.

Johnson is very close to being given a rest IMO. He's turning into the Mike Hussey of the bowling attack and living off past glories. A shame because clearly he holds the x-factor in our team and oozes potential, but most of the time he's throwing pies.

Haddin, geez he can be ordinary behind the stumps [icon_non

Gotta clean up the tail here quick, Jimmy can hang around and he's already been given a life.

But he got a 5 wicket haul in India and was our leading wicket taker over there?? He is not bowling that bad today not good though.

I do agree with you though, if he doesn't start getting it right more often he will have to make way for Bollinger.
 
Ricky and his captaincy shining through now we have England on the ropes....

It must give past captains the shits.

Either he's just a defensive captain by nature, or he has very little confidence in his attack (post Warne, McGrath).

Meanwhile X get's his first, well done mate.
 
Good on Xavier, he looks quite good so far...
 
Super effort to bowl the Poms out on Day 1 for only 260. Now to press the advantage with the bat

Can see from some of the emails to the BBC the Poms have already started to return to form and turn on their players icon_thumbs_u
 
Are channel 9 kidding?? There is 11 overs left in the days play and I have Antiques roadshow on my tv... Pathetic really really pathetic
 
Excellent result.

I reckon 7-8/300-320 is a top effort for a fielding side first day at the Gabba, but all out for 260 is just gold for our chances. Hopefully we can keep all 10 going in to stumps and post 400+ over the next couple of days.

And f**k Nein, seriously.
 
Not to mention, they're not even showing it in HD.

Yeah it is pathetic, Channel 9 are actually showing the cricket now, Antiques roadshow was just played for 5 mins to raise my blood pressure
 
FTA channels when it comes to sport - use it or lose it I rekcon.

Totally agree.
 
Down here in NSW we've got a choice of the News, The Nanny and The Flinstones on the Nein channels.

Incredible that this is not only allowed to happen, but planned to happen. No final session finishes within 2 hours anymore.

Anyway, looks like we're doing ok so far, just a few more overs to survive.
