That's what I mean, I can't believe he's back playing (and well) so soon.

Figured he would still be a long way off.


got a 5 for in the second innings against SA in the last shield game they played.

guess that was enough to convince the selectors.


and i would rather have watson than symonds any day of the week.

hughes is a good selection, hope he does well


edit: thanks for beating me to it bacon :@

yeah definitely - but it doesn't look like there is much in the way of spinners

hopefully he can bowl ok for a couple of years, and somehow we can pull a spinner out of our arse in the mean time.

has anyone actually seen mcgain bowl? must admit i haven't yet - by all reports he can turn it a bit. i hope he bowls well, leggies are always better options as spinners if you have them, especially once you move away from the subcontinent
