That's contrary to what I heard this morning. I heard because of the green pitch, that it would be likely that Beer will miss and they will go with the four pacemen.

[ossie85]

heard a whisper beer was in and that hilfy or sidds will be the unlucky drink carrier

Sniped me Fletch, I heard the exact same thing.

TEST 3 starts today and because its at the waca a late start for alot of us..

ponting still unsure who will play the last 2 spots are between hilfy,siddle and beer and they could go woth 4 pace bowlers but i think that is stupid because we have watto and the last time australia played 4 pacers at the waca the pverate was slow and we got smashed cos it didnt favour the quicks as much as they thought but a good point of it is beer wont play

i reckon smith, johnson and hughes could b the x-factor of the end of this series

[bomberboy0618]

smith has to play. He will get quick runs with haddin, and can ACTUALLY SPIN THE BALL!

[Hawka]

dont worry BB he is a certainty unless the aussies wana go with 4 pace bowlers abd a spinner makin johnson number 7 :P which wont happen

YES!
SMITH!!!
johnson could bat at 7 but the tail is shower as it is, i know they are there for bowling but at least you could bat like sids and huss v pakistan. Plz!

[Hawka]

Despite his golden pair harris is quite handy with the bat and a suitabel number 9 however haurtiz would of been beta  ::) dont no were beer bats let me check his stats

well he has hit 38 runs from 145 balls in 9 innings :/ very slow batter than if hilfy plays beer will be number 1o if sids plays beer will 11

[Hawka]

Scratch that beer bats at 11 if he plays rememberer hilfys stats  8)

[bomberboy0618]

wat stats?

[Hawka]

well hilfy has a avery quick 50 at test lvl and some other alrite performances

[bomberboy0618]

nice :D
maybe he could do that this series plz :D

[Hawka]

well our tail has failed this series

[ossie85]

I hope Beer doesn't play. Normally I'd agree that it's stupid to play 5 pacemen, but Beer I don't trust.

i think he may get drunk with power

Smith is good enof to take the full time roll but clarke must bowl some overs if beer dosent play
