I hope that you observed 12 minutes silence at 3.58 yesterday, BD. It marked 12 months since JK took his 12/358.

Maybe we need to unite to get him back in the Tassie side. He has been dropped for Xavier Doherty from the Shield match at Bellerive. Between Hauritz's upsurge and Krezja's slump it seems the selectors got this pretty right. Of course you don't know if they had persisted with Krezja whether he also might taken another step but Hauritz's performances with bat and ball have exceeded all my expectations of him.

I know the Pakistanis weren't much chop but doesn't either the 5/101 in Melbourne or the 5/53 in Sydney count as a five wicket haul?

Not that I've got anything against Krazy of course.

Sounds like a bit of all round spin doctoring to me.

I'm no fan or Horridtz either but to watch Krejza drop 2 or 3 short balls per over to release pressure of the batsman doesn't make up for the one or two that he gets to turn in a spell.


it worked for Australia when they played Macgill. not saying they should go for k but wickettakers are gold in cricket

except Magilla got wickets by outbowlingmoreshiteballsthanwarnie.

warnie would bowl and keep it tight and magilla would drop a half tracker in and get the wicket with an attempted slog. made the most of the pressure from the other end

sorry still havent' changed my thinking, krazy is not up to int standard and now the tigers have derailled him.

haury has been the best of them since warnie and magilla.
