Hussey survives

The next squad for the 3rd test has been named.
Mike hussey stays in after his 100 odd runs and langer returns,so someone has to go??Who misses out?
The wonder boy,Clark,he has been omitted,What i was wondering in this thread is,how many wonder boys do you here of that come in with a blaze of glory,papers are making him the new bradman and whammo a few tests later they are out on there bums....?
I think Clark will get himself back in ,nearly every aussie in the team has been dropped before,but i remember Graham Hick,he was going to be a superstar,I think young Petierson will need to score ,and soon or he to may follow clarks ,leed. Who else does anyone else remember as being a ten test wonder or a couple of games wonder and outski???

Hayden
Langer
Ponting
Hodge
Hussey
Symonds
Gillchrist
warne
lee
MaGill
McGrath
12th man????

if you think cricket dont change in the course of 2 months go ask,

Katich,
Martyn,
Clark
,Gillesspi
,Kasprowich
,Tate,
Watson,
Bracken,
and probobly more,but this lot all had a hand in the ashes test matches or super series test and they are no longer in ,for whatever reason,Does this show the strengh of aussie cricket that 8 players can be dropped out in a couple of tests and they are still going on without any real concerns? Or do you know any other test team that can lose 8 players in 2 or 3 tests sinse the ashes and still be as competative?
Interested in others thought s??????

Hi Pete,How are you going?
How did liverpool go,or is it tonight???
Yes i think you are right with Hick,he had a great techniche and he has always reminded me of Mathew Hayden,who was similar at early age and ripped bowling attacks apart in domestic cricket but when he went up to test level,he could not handle the likes of ambrose, wasim,etc,after years on the outside he finaly got another shot and changed his shots a bit and has flourished ,however after the ashes i guess he will still have a query against genuine pace,especially reverse swing,I dont know but did you find the 2 were similar kind of players?
I think if Graham Hick would have been in either the Aussie team or the Sth African for that matter and had some protection and other top class batsmen with him he would have been a superstar,i think just becuase he was the class batsman during a poor period for batsman in eng,he was targeted,but if anyone had every shot in the book and was destined for stardom it was that bloke,and what a shame we didnt get to see it.to good to never play as much tests as he should have/?

Hey Pete,saw some highlights of the india and sth af game,is it de-villiers/?i think thats his name,bats up top?Anyway he looks a real prospect for the SAs,i was really impressed with him and he just looks class,im sure thats his name.
I hope SA have not just picked Smith because he was young and they were looking to the future captain as he really needs to start to use his nouse a bit,i dont know your thoughts on him but to me he really needs to motivate and do something different as he just seems to go with the flow,he done it against the aus in super series and from what i saw he is still just letting the game play out when he can be forcing results as they have th team,its like he dont have the faith in his players?????
Hey great stuff liverpool,i didnt see that result,harry didnt play did he?

this is off the topic, but it is about cricket, Is ndrew Symonds adopted?
