I think you're right though, Punter is getting a bit too predictable, he needs to change it up a bit more, especially if the match is on the line. How about some Katich? Maybe Hussey at the other end. When that doesn't work, maybe he could roll his own arm over for old time's sake. Give Hilfenhaus a single over so then he can bowl with the wind. Then back to Johnson and North to polish them off. Can Tim Paine bowl I wonder? Could be an option, maybe throw Bollinger the gloves... <br /><br />What Hilditch neglects to mention when lauding North's good times, or maybe it hasn't even occurred to him yet, is that his good times have come on awesome batting pitches when the Aussies have been in strong positions. When there's any hint of pressure, he's as effective as Todd Carney when the heavens open...Master Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674054900515007793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743563958457915835.post-90158374322381303262010-10-07T11:19:53.938+11:002010-10-07T11:19:53.938+11:00Oh, for fuck's sake.
I watched most of the l...Oh, for fuck's sake. <br /><br />I watched most of the last day of that Test and the scary thing was that I was calling Punter's moves moments before he made them. And I have the SMS conversation with my brother to prove it. <br /><br />In fact, just about the only thing I mispredicted was that I thought Pup would be the one to have a wild hurl at the stumps and miss (only to have the commentators go on and on about how he's usually so deadly accurate). Congratulations Steve Smith - you're not the new Warney, you're the new Pup. <br /><br />Interesting fact: If Pakistan had lost this Test match from this position making the captaincy decisions that Punter made, there would be deafening whispers of nefarious bookies affecting the result.<br /><br />Not that I'm accusing Punter of throwing the game. I'm just accusing him of being a rubbish skipper.<br /><br />Still, the good news is that Magnetic Marcus North still has the selectors backing (http://www.cricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2010/content/story/480291.html). It's anybody's guess as to why.<br /><br />OTOH, I'm a Dragons supporter, so the week wasn't a total loss for me.
