    normally i'd agree with you, but the future is forward, not a 36 year old or whatever he is. plus clarke hates him.

    and normally I would agree with this statement but our stocks are so thin if we're going to use Rogers we may as well use the best opener we've had in the last 5 years.

    But yeah Captain hates him so you're right.

    But considering Warner's latest turn of events tonight there's another spot opening up.

    trott on big fella.

    seriously, what the hell is the umpire doing asking for a review on that decision? umpires have turned into complete numpties. may as well get rid of them if they're going to ask for help on calls like that.

    ^^This.

    Umpires don't seem to be calling no balls as much these days - it's as if they don't bother watching the front foot any more.

    Still not a fan of video technology - the players are prone to error, so are the officials, it's what makes sport what it is.

    I know Siddle got all the wickets but how good is Pattinson. bloke has got full mongrel, consistently sledging the batters, threatening to throw the ball at there throats from deliveries blocked out to him, etc.

    besides siddle's cracking Yorker and andersons purler of a delivery to Clarke most of the wickets have been more batsman error to the bowlers bowling.

    could have f**king murdered cowan after his stupidity, trying to get bat on a ball that far outside off stump FFS.

    good call on steven smith by the looks of things, was pretty reassured and a decent six of swann.

    Yeh i agree... that clarke ball would have gotten every batsman in the world out!
    Cowan, well i think this the last of him we will see for a little while. It was a disgraceful shot at any stage of an innings, but to do it first ball, f*ck me!

    Yeah but the errors are coming from sustained pressure. Which reinforces your point about the job Pattinson is doing.

    Cowan FFS. Disgrace. Meanwhile Simon Katich scoring runs for fun at the moment.

    Also,in these conditions Anderson is a truly great bowler. Another quality display last night.

    The Aussie cricketer worth watching is in exile for getting on the turps and showing some agro towards a pommy player off the field.

    Alternatively if yer completely lacking in man skills they make you captain.

    Because a hack with zero technique is the guy we want representing us at test level. The massive focus on slogging it out of the park is the exact reason why we are so shit at test cricket right now. Warner should **** off and never come back to the 5 day game.

    I was going to just write 'katich > Warner' but your post is way better.
