Do Tasmans generally whinge, get passive aggressive in queues and drink warm beer?

Dunno mate, but apparently they've got the inbreeding thing down. So they share that  haha

He allegedly punched Joe Root. He's nearly had as many infractions as runs!

the things people will do to get Punter into a fourth Ashes losing XI...

They've announced Haddin is the number one gloveman as it stands now.

overall they've done well with the squad imo. I cant stand Warner and would love Rogers come in and excell in the opening spot.

Rogers
Cowan
Hughes
Watson
Clarke
Wade
Haddin
Pattinson
Siddle
Starc
Lyon

For mine, however Warner will open in Rogers spot.

Its starting to come together with Warner almost certainly wont be a starter

Less of the crack at taswegians!!! I seem to remember a bloke called Ricky something or other playing quite well last season in bathe shield etc!!!!

So, when will Hughes be dropped for Ponting?

[wcc]

Hughes looking very dodgy at the minute, out played by this young lad Nic Maddinson 181 off 143 today and 113* off 63 last week, anyone know much about him?

Maddinson used to be sponsored by laver and wood he was identified very early

[Vic Nicholas]

Maddinson used to be sponsored by laver and wood he was identified very early

That is factually incorrect.

Chris Lynn was sponsored by L&W.

Maddinson was signed by Gray Nicolls very early in the piece.

Maddinson has a conventional technique, but an unconventional approach to opening the innings. Goes for big shots very early and keeps playing them. If he can learn to tough it out when the ball is doing a bit, he will become an excellent test batsman.

The boy is a super talent. Just needs to mature.

At one point was the youngest batsman to score a century on debut for NSW (since overtaken by Kurtis Patterson, who became the youngest ever century scorer in Shield history in his only match to date).
