Why do you put Siddle ahead of Clark?

Hmm, very long battiing line-up with Bung having made several Test 50s.

This should be the team but I think they'll play Horrors ahead of Clark.

Yup. I think that is nailed on.

No way can they play Hauritz the way he has been playing. Clark can bowl as many overs as him and be more economical and more threatening.

They should have brought another spinner instead of Manou.

Well yeah probably.

Who needs a back up keeper though? Especially one as crap as Manou. If Haddin gets injured then they can call someone up.

Only marginally. But Clark has played some worthwhile knocks.

by PeterCS on Fri 03 Jul 2009, 22:46

Is anyone expectant yet?

Siddle can stick around. Clark is just a slogger

Fair enough.

Ignore him, Pete. He's a Vomit. Cool

But Clark is a Subidubber - doesn't that cancel it out? :ninja:
