I suppose it wasn't an accident the secret fitness test was held away from the cameras of the general media.

This is the NSW Cricket Mafia defending it's monopoly.

It's a calf strain apparently ...

I guess that means Bolo will play at the MCG

That was legit. They needed a longer run up than was possible at the Gabba and there is footage.

If The hoff has done his side again the entire NSW cricket mafia should sack themselves. We all know the culpable parties.

Picked a faux "all-rounder" and gambled on an injured seamer. Not good enough.

Prof, There was no need to play Hazelwood given Bolands form and common sense would have said rest him for this test. As you implied given the issues with Marsh and his injuries its been a ballsup under the banner of the NSW mafia never wanting to give a sucker an even break in Bolands case and its backfired. Luckily the inept and disinterested Indians have provided some relief with their loose batting and we should be able to ride out the game if the weather holds up and win the test.

It's a "side related calf strain", strained his calf trying to get the front of a queue!

It's a moot point anyway, crap Queensland weather has spoilt this match.

Cricket is probably the one sport that has to take climate change seriously, or it's long standing traditional schedules are going to be littered with non-events.

Right,

I've had a screwing enough of these Muppets..

Khawaja....just retire you crab
McSweeney...not an openers A-hole
Marnus....still horribly out of form

Marsh....another cheap dismissal and Webster should be fitted for a baggy.

Watch this backfire....no other side would give away a gift like this (aside from the Poms first test last ashes). Careers on the line here Pat.

That'll be a bonus from NSW, VCA and CA, let India pull off a miracle victory, maximise the return for the Melbourne and Sydney tests!

There will be a 150K Ex.Pat Indians trying to get into the MCG Boxing Day!

Apparently day 1 is already a sell out.

We just need to pick the right side. We don't pick the best side for the situation, it's been a problem for a long time.
