Now Clarke bloody chops on too, but at least this was a decent ball.

One of those days when the bowlers are simply on song.

Hey Langer, what's the injury update on Watson?

He twinged his calf again at the batting camp that Australia had.

People are talking about him as coming straight back in, but he was only averaging 21 over a few series when he got injured. No doubt that was due to his increased bowling load, so if he comes back in they say he will not bowl.

He became a good batsman and played for 2 years straight when he wasn't really bowling at all, then he started to increase his bowling load and his batting and body suffers. Think that tells us that he won't be able to bowl much anymore.

BOOOM!!!! What a pull shot by Hussey.

[kaustav]

Hussey counterattacking. I think Australia needs a solid all rounder. Anyone in the domestic circuit you can think of who might fit the bill?

It all depends on your favorite two players now mate

India to win this by 8 wickets.

Not so fast lad; have seen enough of India's cricket to know it.

[Cover_Drive]

I have my money on Hussey and Punter!

Have you seen much of Australias cricket to know it too? haha. 

Dont take much from losing 4-0 in England. India have always lifted for Australia and Australia have found ways to bomb tests in the space of no time, greater than any other team the last few years.

They have one on the sqaud, Dan Christian. He came in when Cutting was injured and has been in the squads the last 2 tests, but has missed on both occasions. Before he was picked he was leading the Sheffield Shield runs with 475 @ 59.37, but he has been overtaken as he didn't play the last shield game of the year. The stats don't show as good of a figure with his bowling, but he has actually been bowling very well but just without luck.

They were saying if Watson wasn't picked, then Christian was certain to come in as the all rounder. Dunno what happened, but must have been Cowan's brilliant form that saw him come in and  Christian miss out.

For him to come in, either Ponting or Hussey had to be dropped, but the way those two are going atm, he may not come in. Dunno who would be dropped for him to come in.

James Fawkner is a good bowling allrounder.

[langer17]

He Deffinately is.

Christian as the batting all-rounder
Faulkner as the bowling all-rounder

[langer17]

I think Christian is a bit quicker, but not 100% on that.

Punter gone...Hussey is the key now..
