North plays his final innings of his test career

Trent Copeland to come into the Perth Test and continue the revolving door policy

They are all hypocrits

What about when Gilly used to walk when he batted?

Then when he was behind the stumps, he would clearly see the ball didnt hit the bat for a caught behind or he could see the ball smash the bat then into the pads for an LBW, yet he still appeals...

if katich is injured for the next test - will the selectors be brave enough to drop north and include 2 new batsmen into the lineup?

Completely agree. I always laughed when everyone kept saying how noble it was for Gilly to walk.

Only person I saw that would never appeal behind the stumps unless he was sure was Mark Waugh at slips. He was always the best barometer as to to whether the batsman nicked it or not

Hughes will come in for Katich. That's a given.

Smith should come in for North. That's a given

Hilfenhaus will come in for Doherty. More than likely.

England will put up 600 runs in their first innings in perth. That's a given.

Phil Hughes will come in..........

Even though brad Hodge is averaging 745 over the last 2 seasons, it doesnt matter........

There are walkers and non-walkers playing for every cricketing nation.

I can never understand all the moral highgrounders on this issue.

Hughes will come in for Katich even though he is out of form but that doesn't seem to be a criteria for Aussie selectors

O'keefe or Smith will come in for North would be my guess. hey will be looking very closely at Doherty as well, conceding 5.75 runs per over was as bad as Kreija when he got dropped.

I don't know why they don't bring in David Hussey for North.

Katich is gone for the series.

Smith will come in for North and will be used as the spinner with Doherty dropped for Hilfenhaus.

They will go with four quicks for Perth.

Hodge is injured btw. Broke his finger in the One Day Match on the weekend. That's why I lost that Victoria bet.

Dan Christian is a bastard!

We'd already ascertained that Hodge is a whiny bitch.

Smith, btw, should be well down the pecking order.

Put $500 billion on Aus to win the next test......The Hawks players simply dont lose sporting games..........There is no such thing,.

They are the greatest athletes and sportsman the world has seen.

Also, the Sydney test is being moved from the SCG to WIN stadium in Wollongong, cause of the Hawks

In all seriousness though, this is a crushing defeat.

There should be repercussions from the very top right down - nobody should be safe.

The way we prepared for this series, in contrast to England, is fucking embarrassing.

Tony Greig makes a good point. Best team available. That would be:

1. Hughes
2. Watson
3. Ponting
4. Clarke
5. Hussey
6. Haddin
7. Smith
8. Harris
9. Lee
10. Hilfenhaus
11. Clark
