I understand Aussies do not have a home advantage , but still bowling has been really ordinary.

Haurzit was much better.
 
If we somehow get a lead and get AUS all out in their 2nd innings then major credit must be given to this knock by Shikar
 
Clarke has to swallow the ego and put defensive fields on. Length ball, on off, he drives with an open face, past the man diving at backward point
Hmm
 
clarke will be really regreting his decision to put james pattinson out off this match.
 
Its quite sad, I grew up watching the great Australian team of the 2000's seeing them being destroyed is like seeing part of my childhood being destroyed =\
 
Why hasn't Steven Smith not bowled yet? Is he a specialist batsman :))

Yes actually.
Gave up bowling a few years ago and is strictly a part timer.

Even bowled some off spin this year for NSW- much to Kerry O'Keefe's disgust
 
Has to be some sort of record for most 4's on debut or something

:O Good batsman no doubt, but was once touted as successor to Warney!
 
Is it only me or everyone finding Laxman's commentary similar to Russel Arnold's? ( Not so atrocious but thereabouts) :))

So was Cameron White

Blame the respective NSW and VIC medias for hyping any LS.

We're seeing it again with Ahmed.

Well he can't bowl any worse than your current lot and in comparision to them he would look like another Warne.
 
Breaking news:- Someone found a miniature puppy buried outside Clarke's home. Speculations are rife that it may be Black magic because of which he is on a losing streak:afridi

The thing is, Sachins and Warnes are once in a lifetime players... It's criminal to expect the same deeds and results from lesser beings! Indian media is putting similar pressures on Kohlis and Rohits .. Recipe for disaster
 
Murali Vijay has faced more balls than Dhawan yet has less than half as many runs as Dhawan. What a debut innings!

I could bowl better than our current lot.

Gaz drops his head to easily.
 
Very tempting... don't be surprised if he gets the breakthrough.. As I say, rubbish :facepalm:
 
Dhawan raising unrealistic expectations. Dude won't get tons every innings. I hope such a debut performance doesn't harm his career.
 
I think Clarke might be dropped as captain at the conclusion of the ashes.

Nope
Border had a worse record and stayed on.

Clarke's still good enough to be in the team and there really isn't another captaincy option

Plus everyone recognises that the reason we are losing is because the team is useless

Until Clarke remains captain, there won't be any captaincy option for sure.

Even if they lose 4-0 in india and 10-0 in the ashes?
 
Harris is bowling well again.

I'll catch a bit of him live tomorrow.
 
Still Pujara, Kohli, Dhoni to come along with the man himself! Forget about win, lets make some records here

We won't lose 10-0 in the Ashes

We'll lose 2-1 or 3-1 (depending on rain) in England.

We'll lose 2-1 or draw 2-2 in Australia.

Perth's a definate win. Not sure how many of these blokes will still be in the team though

There are probably on three players in Australia whose performances demand automatic selection- Clarke, Pattinson and Harris* (when fit).

Siddle, Wade and Warner would almost be automatic selections.

Cowan consistently does just enough to stay in.

Of those players Cowan is the only other who could possibly be captain.

What would be your XI for the england and australian leg?
