2007/2008 Summer of Cricket Discussion

This had made the series alot more exciting IMO. I want to see how the 3rd test tomorrow goes. Im sure Tate would play, becasue the WACA pitch is bouncy, so it would be a full pace attack and there could be a few bouncers flying around.
 
they should pick hogg because he deserves his spot the pitch wont have as much grass as it did the other day and shaun tait is just to erractic hes fast but to costly hilfenhaus is a much better bowler so is shane harwood
 
Well Hogg has been replaced by Tait; and

Hayden is out - replaced by Chris Rogers

Aussies to rely solely on pace
By Adam Cooper
January 15, 2008 SPEEDSTERS Brett Lee and Shaun Tait will bowl short bursts at full throttle as Australia backed an all-pace attack to create cricket history in the third Test against India at the WACA Ground.

Showing faith in pace for an unprecedented 17th successive victory, Tait's inclusion made it the first time Australia selected four quicks since 1992, coincidentally when India last played a Test in Perth.

But opener Matthew Hayden will not be a part of the tilt at history, as hamstring soreness will break his run of 86 consecutive Tests, but provide fellow left-hander Chris Rogers with a home-town debut.

Ben hasnt been compiling wickets that saw him recieve Aussie Honours last season. His lost his line and direction. Last season when Tasmania needed a wicket he was the man they give the ball too. This year thats not happening, his career is slipping away.

As for Shane Harwood. His abit of a pig, same goes for him... played for Australia in the one day and 20/20s but hasnt really fired. Doesnt like it when his mates give an extra run off his bowling, goes awop.

By no means am I saying these two are done, just at the moment they shouldnt even be considered.
 
And rightfully they werent considered either.

Its good that they are continoulsy looking for new people like Chris Rogers. Hopfully he performs in front of his home crowd.
 
I feel that we English must take the blame for the Indian players' choice of sunglasses. Apparently, they stopped at a motorway service station during their tour here last Summer, liked what they saw in the cheap shop and bought the lot!!!!! :lol: :lol:

Even but boring, once again Dravid never really fired... he was too slow. Australia are on top I think, the pitch is a belter and if Australia hold the Indians under 350 then they should be very happy with their efforts.

Shaun Tait didnt impress me with his efforts today although he never even took the new ball. Stuart Clark bowled well but didnt get the rewards.

A typical batting pitch as expected.
 
An awesome batting pitch. If the Aussies batted first they would be about 350 at this time. I reckon India will get/get close to 400, but hopefully it might get alil interesting when the tailenders come in and decide to have a go.

If Australia Bat well 1st Innings it will be a easy win to the Aussies.
 
Yeah im watching it with my family. Man I hate India, what are the Aussies playing at? They neeeeed to beat them!
 
man the outswing bowling stuffed us today hussey jacques ponting shows how much influence matty hayden has
 
Well India are playing Aussie off the park ... I feel for India if they win this one, it should have been one all and a big decider on the way!!!
