Even if there's no play at all? Is that even legal?

Mike Hussey had an average of 55 as an opener.Fucked if i know why we ever moved him down the order
.Could have had Langer or Haydos at 1st drop.

Ah ok. I thought you meant Watson.Mike Hussey had an average of 55 as an opener.Fucked if i know why we ever moved him down the order
I agree that opening might do Hussey some good. Hussey/Katich would be quite a dour partnership though.

Yes
hahahahahahah
Seems its you who knows nuffing!!
Almost certainly. If you look at the terms and conditions, it will say something like 'play is not guaranteed' and will only promise refunds for tickets for the first four days.Even if there's no play at all? Is that even legal?

Yeah, but he averages 78 at number 5 too.

My 5th day ticket said full refund if the match has been completed, then lists options for refunds if weather stops play. If the game had finished in one ball, that's tough luck..

They've been taking the piss with ticket prices ever since England won in 2005. I expect more piss-taking if England win again. English cricket is run by a bunch of utter cunts, who are ready to sell the soul of cricket to the highest bidder, be they Sky or test-cricket hating Stanford.

He averages 30 in the last 18 months, and he ain't getting any younger. That's what really matters.

They are but also ground capacities are too small and they know the tickets will sell. 16,000 capacity is too small, Lords at 30,000 is too small and that's the biggest. If they need money to pay players (amongst the rest of it) then they should just let them play IPL each year.

hmmmmm
yup. went to the edgbaston test in 2005 - £40 a day. no way on earth i could afford it this year, possibly even ever again.
it's such a cliche to complain that they're pricing real fans out of sport, but it's true

I dont know if the age thing applys to batsmen as much as bowlers.Each of our countries have had their fair share of dinosaurs swinging bats thru the years.

Different players lose it at different ages. Gooch was just coming into his prime at Hussey's age, but that's exceptional. It is around one's mid-thirties that ageing really starts to reduce your physical abilities.

Well Harmison has pulled the plug at 30.(soft cunt)Retiring from top level cricket.Not much use him playing this test then is it?
Shame, was hoping he'd play at Edgbaston.

Has a few dramas off field.His mum is going on about how her boy has been taken from her by a tart
He never phones anymore,all he thinks about is his fiancee,sob sob.Have you seen his missus??I can see why
I have it on good authority that Mitchell has no semen left.He has been shagging her that much that now he only blows dustThe poor lads clearly done in,thats where all his power has gone,out the end of his knob'Australia must pick Johnson, says Anderson'

Genuine thoughts from a fellow fast-bowler or Aussie-style mind games from the England camp?

Have you ever heard jimmy speak? I don't think there's any mind games going on. Or any mind for that matter. He makes Beckham sound like Nietzsche.
No, I never picked up on his German accent.

Johnson and Siddle (and Anderson for that matter) are all averaging around 41 for the series, so if Johnson is fit for dropping then theoretically so should the other 2. I think the point is that he is producing the same results as a bowler bowling well (Siddle) even when he's chucking pies so it looks as if Siddle would get dropped first.
Good point. Altho theres a lot of pressure coming from the aussie media to get rid of Johnson. Selectors often cave in.
I'd pick him. Form is temporary, class is permanent after all. And he's a classy bowler on his day. Not to mention a pretty handy tailender.

I would keep him,he has to improve,Stuart Clark is breathing down the necks of any out of form bowlers.Hillfy has held his own,so for me its between Siddle and Mitch who goes to let Clark in the 4th test.If they dont perform this time they may well be carrying drinks in the 4th.
I love to watch Clark bowl,more bounce than the other 3 fasts

Average isn't the whole story. Johnson has gone at a shocking runrate and his pie-chucking has given England belief. His appalling bowling – and it was appalling, you can't read too much into averages over two tests – is the main reason England got off to such a flier at Lord's. Just two sessions into the match and Australia were already in deep shit. They'd be mad to keep him in the team when bowling with such a total lack of confidence, so let's hope they do.
