No shit. Bracken is the worlds number 1 ODI bowler, and so talented. It's such bullcrap that a tard like Bollinger gets picked ahead of him.

Well, you answered your own question ... if there ever was one.

Bracken is an ODI bowler, period. His bowling is purposefully erratic with swing, pace, line and length and it works a treat in the short version of the game, but not in test cricket.

You need a bowler who hits the spot every time with line and length, and can work the ball off the seam rather than swing and turn. Why McGrath was brilliant, or Courtney Walsh or Shaun Pollock.

Just watching the Aussies vs South Africa game from the SCG, and it looks like Australia are gonna make 270 or so again. Warner made 65 or so, and kind of cemented his place as the aggressive opener for now.

Quick question. Does Andrew Symonds deserve a spot in the Australian Test team? Short answer for me is no :).

Warner did look impressive so did Marsh which is great. They went well and they got the 269 which will be good to see SA chase it down(if they can)

As for Symonds, No.

Well, they chased it down fucking easily. I say we drop James Hopes, that guy has no talent whatsoever.

I have to agree with that, although some bad fielding is what really cost us.

I can't believe Tait had Gibbs and Amla dropped for zip. That's disgraceful.

I think Symonds is finished for international cricket. Injuries and behind-the-scenes conflict (ie. banging Brett Lee's wife) have bogged him down.

And being nothing but an ODI player. Sure, he's a good fielder, but he hasn't scored a test century for like 3 years and they don't bowl him anyways, so there is really no point in having him around.

Banging Brett Lee's wife?

Explain plz.

I need to ring the chairman of CA and completely ruin any chance of a Symonds return ;).

Well, we bent over and got ass raped again.

Some actual batsmen would be nice. Posting 222 in this day and age is pathetic.

symonds played for QLD bulls today, after 7 balls he got out for 5..

what a honor

Well, second in the world.

South Africa deserve to be the top team, they really are better then Australia right now. To be able to bring in 2 rookies and have them take 5 wickets simply shows the depth or their team.

And Amla might just be one of the best batsman going around right now.
