The push to end Clark’s career is now in full swing.
Ponting is talking about being flexible.
Clark’s bad record at Radelaide and his age are being mentioned.
And Peter Siddle is being pushed forward.
I think Clark will play in Adelaide, but only just.
Siddle just struggled against the Warriors, and must be short of match practice, having played one test, one first class match and whatever that thing was in Brisbane in the last 7 weeks.
Surely this isn’t the perfect time to pick him on a flat pitch.
Clark may struggle on flat pitches as well, but he just took 4 wickets against the kiwis in the second dig, and looked closer to his old form.
A lot has been made of Australia’s new flexible selection policy.
Under Ponting selection was always more rigid than a boy in a brothel, now they are going to other extremes.
It reeks of panic, and urine.
And you know what flexible selection policy means, flexible bowling line ups.
Mike Hussey isn’t going to be rested on a flat pitch so his brother can come in and score quicker.
Hayden isn’t going to miss out when the ball is swinging.
And they aren’t going to drop Roy for the Waca test because he doesn’t play the short ball well.
Flexible always means bowlers, or at worst, all rounders.
It must be something batsmen came up with, bastards.

Welcome to the last 20 years of English cricket.It’s the road to hell, of course…
Lee is the one with out form in the last 12 months. How Australia’s premier bowler can bake so many pies consistently is beyond all but the most ardent pastry chef.Lucky they are playing the Kiwi’s, who along with the Windies are the only two teams he has had consistent success against. I cant stand inept batsmen that make Lee look good. The Black Caps did well in the first test against him and heres hoping they murder him in the second
OB, whoa, we aren’t that bad. Poopsie, I don’t entirely disagree.
