talk of Jake Doran playing in the 5th test, or at least someone with a big name thinks he should. I cant remember the article and author.

Anyone think this could be possible? as mentioned before hes had that hundred in the youth test, been playing club cricket over here for Henley this season, averaging 70 with a 121. Has also played against England before in the presidents xi and other teams.

Obviously hugely rated as he played in one of the warm up games before the 2010/11 ashes series at the age of 16. Maybe he could be involved with the coming test simply to gain some experience as he must be one for the future. The u19's are involved with a one day series but with the timings he would only miss the final match if he was to play in the test.

Thoughts?

There's the article by the way

[FattusCattus]

It all seems to be going on in Twitty or Twatter or whatever it is,  Warner defending himself from some criticism, Lehman saying how sad some of the stories about Clarke are, and Mitch Johnston firing off to some journo who called the Aussies arrogant.

Such fun!

Clutching at straws. Averaging 70 in the Home Counties Prem is one thing but playing 3 levels higher is another. If they had any intention of using him he would of played a tour match.

there is a tour match this weekend - will be interesting to see who plays..

Kerry O Keefe mentions Doran and Heazlett as the best teen batsmen in the country both had pretty solid summers in England. I've played alongside Sam Heazlett, he's not made the U19s Test squad, but hes a fantastic player, made the highest score v Lashings this year who usually have a decent attack...

But I'm afraid I reckon thats seriously stretching it chucking Doran in for the 5th test! I reckon Maxwell might have scored a timely hundred though..

Here's one I read this morning
When Clarke threatened to hand in baggy green

I love the absurd and wild speculation that goes on when there is a heavy series loss - it is hilarious the names that get thrown up.
The Aussies will make no substantive changes for the last game and then just look to the A tour as where the players will come from.

ahh I guess that one got shut down rather quickly...

True Buzz, but it's a tasty rumour

@ch1p

Watched doran today. He looked good, and is clearly a star, but the English batsmen seem to be making his innings  seem far to slow in scoring rate.
He seemed more test than odi.... Which in regards to him playing in the 5th test. Is probably a good thing.

Was live on sky sports 2.


I was also going to Queen's Park to watch the washed out game live. But our lovely summer spoiled that.

Wow wish I could see it here in Perth
