Fergie or Brazen before SHYTE

Not quite sure why Nikki seems to have had his file marked NTPTFA.

You and me both
But then again this is the clueless NSP we are talking about.

Nikki made a tidy 67* against the 2nd string Poms.

The various Noozes seem to be talking up Beer's chances of playing. I can't see it.

So the spinner lucky dip continues.

Beer. Seriously? If not for Warnie talking him up I would say that the NSP are a bunch of useless qunts all over again.

Even Peter "Who" served a longer time in the shield before being picked for Aus.

Why bring Johnson back?....He was dropped for being useless..has'nt played any cricket since..and suddenly he's supposed to be on top again?
........England to win by another innings.

Indeed, surely someone like Copeland,Cameron etc deserves a shot ahead of a out of sorts Midge, if they aren't satisfied withe Bubbles.
Another WTF moment from the NSP.

Fox showed him doing net training at a local park/oval with Lillee and Cooley advising. Didn't look like he was steaming in off the long run up from what I could tell, but I could be mistaken.

I'll be playing with a 10 man fantasy team again then, had to swap Broad and Katich but have no trades left to swap Bollinger.

They should make trading injured players free.

Phillip Hughes comes in for the injured Simon Katich, Marcus North has been replaced by Steven Smith and Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilenhaus have also returned. The surprise inclusion is Michael Beer while Doug Bollenger and Xavier Doherty have both been left out.

Hilenhaus for Bollenger. Sounds reasonable.

Aussie cricket in crisis.

What exactly has Hauritz done wrong? Apart from not being Shane Warne. Bowled reasonably all Ashes 09 and then dumped from the Oval when you needed him and now dumped for good.

The Aus pace attack doesn't look bad at all - Johnson is a weird one since he's not played any cricket since he was declared rubbish but he is a dangerous bowler - just seems to go all weak when its a pom at the other end. Too talented to discard i'd say.

Could WAT Beer be fast-tracked into the England squad?

Fight Beer with Beer, I'd say. We can all drink to that.

i'm kind of dissapointed that Aus got to the Beer before we did.

Typical, isn't it?

At present we are definitely a Beer team, not a Bollinger team.

Something ales the selection panel.
