After Haddin's wicket:

"India are well on top now and looking for the kill"

Without doubt. Your first drop is supposed to be your best batsman

The only reason India win at home is because the opposition can't handle the AIDS riddled heat and conditions,they don't even have proper air in India,they breathe in AIDS riddled dust,its not that India is a good team.

An Indian team that can't travel and has quit is making the Australian team look good, and some players in particular (Siddle, Hilfenhaus, Cowan) are made to look like something they are not - test players.

Continue with these players and we will be here in 12 months time asking why we can't beat South Afica, and what changes we have to make to win the ashes. All because we continued with Shield players made to look good

As soon as Pattinson is fit he goes striaght back in, same with Cummins, Copeland and Paine. Fuck off marsh and put in Khawaja, maybe put Khawaja as opener. Oh wait, the guy who was 5th string opener for NSW and averaging 38 in 1st class cricket is the saviour

Test bowling averages of 4 players

31.10
31.29
30.81
30.67

The 4 players have taken 656 test wickets between them. Which, if any should be picked in the test team? Which, if any, should never be allowed near the test team ever again? Which one is a pariah and which one gets a free pass?

strongly disagree with your assessments of Siddle and Hilfenhaus. These guys are bowling some really good channels and they're earning their success. There's nothing fancy about what they're doing - they're just bowling fuller and letting the ball and the pitch do the work. Oh, and then there's the other massive positive as well - NO MITCHELL FCUKING JOHNSON. 

Craig McDermott is clearly making a difference with these guys and Siddle in particular is reaping the benefits. 

There's still improvement in our bowling group but they've deserved everything they've got this summer. There's been far fewer loose balls and as a result they're building pressure far more effectively. If you've got three guys bowling outswingers at good pace and in good areas they'll put any batting side in the world under pressure. 

DO you really think Tim Copeland should be in the test team ?? Maybe on the greenest of green tops on an overcast day in England but no way in Australia. The guy 'red lines' at 120 km/hr - miles too slow for test level. 

Hey I agree, the real test for Australian cricket lies in England in a year and a bit but if we can at least carry our current bowling form over there we'll be in business, at least with the ball.

Copeland bowls like mcgrath. His height makes up for speed. Don't forget McGrath rarely went over 130.

The height angle, plus his line and length make him very dangerous

Australia's only chance of winning the next Ashes is if Cummins and Pattinson turn out to be the next Malcolm Marshall and Joel Garner

to be fair, any set of quick bowlers struggle in the worst of Indian conditions

Another fail for Dhoni

All what he is interested in is batting for Chennai in the IPL and India in the one dayers in India, chasing a score and the outfield is wet, the bowlers cant grip the ball and the ball skids on incely to the bat......

Thats all what he is effective at.

Put him on a pitch with some bounce, a bit of movement and he doesnt have anything.......

ALot of these indians have decreased there stock significantly this tour, especially, Ghambir and Dhoni.....Sehway is a poor mans Gilchrist, a very poor mans Gilchrist.....

Everyone was sucking Sewhags nuts because he got 200 in in a one dayer against the Windies.......LOLOL

If Steve Smith can get 170 odd, that means anyone can get lucky......
