T-Paine is Back! (See sidebar, Stani)

Tim Paine will be joining the side for the third ODI as Hads gets a rest. Shame - I was hoping Hads and Suley would have words again.

Watson will get yet another day off (what's up with that?) and - to my absolute delight - Adam Voges will be playing in his place. This addition of another West Aussie cancels out any damage by the addition of another Tasmanian. I hope Ads does well.

This means that Warrior Shaunie and T-Paine the Ray will be opening together tomorrow ... should be good for Shaunie to be the "senior" player in the partnership. Here's hoping for a half century from him. I still think we should let Mitchy open - shake things up a little.

I'm guessing Ry the Not Jimmeh will be back, unless Jimmeh has (finally) accidentally-on-purpose broken his fingers, and naturally My Lord doesn't get a rest so I reckon "clint" will sit this one out. I'd be surprised if Bolly has a day off, especially as Crapinfo has announced that Gayle is his "bunny".

Now there's a scary visual place you don't want hanging around your head at night.

They are trying just anything to get me interested in this bloody series. Grrrr. They need to try harder!

Damn. I am seriously considering watching it.

I still say Mitchy opening would make things more interesting. And Pseudo Nathan is waiting for the call up after his long injury break ... let's shake it up a little Punter!!

Wes said...

I am all pro this. In fact he should open with his mummy. Then during the bowling they can chuck pies at each other. I would watch every minute.

If Mitch had any brains, which is doubtful, being a quick bowler and all that, he'd pick up a stake and smack his vampire of a mum right through the heart.

Be great if he opened, except that he seems to have forgotten that he can hit the ball.

Isn't it wonderful that little Timmy is joining the big boys again? I am so over Haddin.

Louise said...

Did I say stake? I meant stump. But I don't think he'll ever be in the same state as her let alone opening the batting for oz.

I am so happy T-Paine is back, I want to cry.

You missed Barbie and Ginger in the sidebar.

Ahhhh Sid! So, when will I get to make it on there?

Sidthegnomenator said...

When I get your real name, Stani ...

Ok, sorry everyone. T'interweb being a bit funny yesterday so I couldn't get on.

Not only did I miss Barbie from the list (feel free to point anyone else out - this could be a BIG list) but I was a day early. I was convinced yesterday was the 12th and I was most displeased when I woke up to no cricket.

Quite displeased today to wake up to all out for 225 as well, but at least it might be a more interesting match.

Bollinger almost decapitated Gayle.

Sidthegnomenator said...

Yeah, Bolly doesn't like rabbits much I hear :-) Can't you just imagine him as an evil child, pulling wings off flies and heads off bunnies called Chris?

Greyblazer - I shall check you out.

Stani Army said...

But what of my super hero status?

You know my real name anyway....but if you reveal it, I'll have to bump you off.

Sidthegnomenator said...

So I do ... hhhmmm ... there's a little power I have over you now, isn't there?

Well, well, well ...
