Graeme Smith is not a captains bum hole. Like M Lewis is not bowler's bum hole. Herschell Gibbs won it. Pure and simple.

Stirlo,

As much as I dislike Pontings captaincy, I think Smith is not a pimple on the ar5e of a real captain.

Why aren't you in school learing stuff so you can grow up to be a useful member of society instead of a skinny hungry rock muso. :confused)

Maybe it's just that Gumby has been on long service leave, I don't know, but we haven't heard from the knockers of the "it's a well known fact that without McGrath they won't get anywhere, and the Captain isn't worth a pinch, and why are Hayden and Symonds there anyway" best team in the world!d

I'm just wondering how you guys feel:

It's a well known fact that Hayden, Sideshow Bob and all their Qld mates are in South Africa, not because of their cricketing ability, but so the Qld Shield team would be nobbled yet again, which explains why they (Qld) got tired and had to declare at 900, instead of going on with it once they had made a start, but it doesn't explain Matt's 50 something and 100 odd average for the first two tests?

And as for Ponting's miserable display as captain.... oh well he's won another series, but he's still pathetic...

Tell me about it chaps, come on tell me how it all works!

P

Yes, I was disappointed when QLD declared so early. But it was a sporting declaration, typical of Queenslanders.

G'day,

GO QUEENSALND!!!

Cricket is boring as, but I'll always stick up for the home side - whatever sport. :eek:

Midge you forget... who was captain when the game ended? Gilchrist of course!

Also, I doubt that many people would be calling for Matt's place to be revoked now... (but then I have always been a Hayden fan).

Finally, if you are wondering about Symonds place in the side, well I am happy to stand up and say that while he SHOULD be a good test player (as he is an awesome one day player) he should be replaced by Watson who made a tiny little double ton. So nevermind, he is a Queenslander too...

Finally, while we are b!tching about selection etc. How can Bichel keep on being overlooked. I mean, he is never going to get picked again for the Aussies, but for goodness sakes! Gillespie couldn't have done much more. Tait is a bowler of the future without a doubt - look at the ING cup final!! Lehman was given a bum deal. Cosgrove is piling on runs in both forms (and he is young). Griffith took the most wickets of the season, yet nobody mentioned his name in running for going over to SA (or in the one-dayers). Talk about a McGrath replacement! I think that they are the major worries... The problem now is to find where (and if) they fit in... Nice having a lot of choice ain't it? Gives us something to talk abotu and complain about when the Aussies are losing... As in, if they picked the right side, we would have won easily...
