Looks like Inverarity's first order of business is the dropping of Ponting

That's if he has the balls to do it

Maybe allow him to play the test matches against the Kiwis. Against them Australia can get away with carrying a walking wicket but not against the Indians later in the summer

I agree it's time for Ricky to go. He looks slow, age has simply caught up with him.

However, he can't be blamed for the recent pathetic showing of this team. It was clear in his last years as captain he didn't get the team that he wanted. Perhaps Clarke now, as a selector, will have more luck in that regard.

Ponting, along with Lara and Tendulkar, are the greatest batsmen of this generation, and for that he needs some respect.

Even if it's a tap on the shoulder, I don't think he deserves to be dropped.

Pushed maybe, but not dropped.

The dropping of Haddin and Johnson should be his first and second order of business.

this Philander reminds me a bit of Dean Headley the former England seamer 

similar actions, similar bowling styles

amazing how the pot bellied golden budha hasn't really missed a beat in terms of his form despite being older than Ponting

irrelevant to my point though.

if the the budha continuously scores centuries away from home against top class attacks, i'll set him apart.

I wasn't trying to canastasize your point just saying how the little pot bellied golden buddha with his golden fleece trousers and tiny little fat balled up fists, so cuddly and omnipotent, so preocious and full of wonderment, really hasn't dropped away form wise despite his age.

They have only lost to Sri Lanka and England in the past 4 years away from home. And both times half their batting lineup were unavailable due to either being rested or injured

lmao, we'll be lucky to even have a first innings lead 

what a weak lot this current team is - all you have to do is bowl at the stumps and our batsmen do the rest.

What a bunch of assholes this team is,South Africa will only have to get a lead of around 200 and they will win this,our batsmen will choke under pressure when it comes to the chase


Oh well at least we got the Eels to look forward too

I doubt the players respect Clarke. You can't play at your best when your captain is a big sook

the upside is that every monumental fuck up this side makes brings us one step closer to change.

ABC radio are reporting that apparently Ponting has been told that he has the second innings of this test match to save his career

How many more pies, fruit and custard tarts does Mitchell Johnson have to serve up until he's under some fcuking pressure from the selectors ? 

anyway, I've been asking this very question for the last two years so don't expect anything to happen

See post  #55.

Even the Saffers can't understand the way the most successful Australian captain in history has been treated.

Haddin and Johnson must have surely been told that this is their last test then.
