That's an improvement!

[Bill Manspeaker]

okay.

cricket gods are taking the piss

Pakistan got COUNTLESS edges, flowerING COUNTLESS, that didn't carry

we get ONE. ONE flowerING EDGE. it carries

it's a joke. it really is

[_wato]

Get flowered

[Jay]

Rogers spot in the side needs to be looked at imo.

Too old to carry if he's not performing.

[Bill Manspeaker]

to top it off there's a flowering spider in my bed that I can't find now

what the flower did we do wrong? why are we being punished like this?

He's been one of our best batters so far in this series though?

Need Hughes back in the side as an opener.

I'm just saying.. The selectors will have no hesitancy to drop him after a bad match.

Katich 2.0

Katich 2.0

Yeah, after a bad match, not a single innings. I agree if he's performing as equally bad as others in the team, he's most likely to lose his spot. But he made scores of 38 and 43 in the first test, so unless he gets a terrible score in the 2nd innings, I can't see him being dropped just yet.

[_wato]

38 and 43 in the last test Jayman, hardly anything to really get rid of him for..

He's scored 1097 runs at 39.17 since the beginning of the Ashes series in England last July..

[_wato]

Other top order batsman in comparison since that time;

Clarke has 970 runs at 42.17
Smith has 1018 runs at 44.26
Warner has 1382 runs at 60.08
Watson has 828 runs at 39.42

So really, they're all doing okay, apart from Warner who is playing exceptionally well.
