Who would you lads least like to face in the nets, Johnson or Harris?

Neither! Ryan Harris would make me look like an idiot playing and missing.....and Mitchell Johnson would probably kill me!!!

Neither,but been a left arm bowler a lot of batsmen hate facing left armers especially good and fast ones

I think Johnson would be worse, bit quicker, slinging left arm so very easy to lose the ball. Harris is so smooth through the crease though and his bouncers are very accurate

Hypothetical question guys and girls - who is next in line to replace Brad Haddin? At some stage (like any player) he will have to be rested during the long summer, so do the selectors return to Matthew Wade or does Peter Nevill or young Sam Whiteman from WA get a go? Does it neccessarily depend on the format (eg Test, ODI, T20)?

Unless Wades attitude has changed maybe Whiteman or Neville. Is Tim Paine any chance?

Tim Paine is the forgotten man and he was next in line before his injury

At the Gabba mate - the first week of games are played in Queensland and the second week in NSW. It has been an awesome start to the domestic season!

Gabba green top? I hope so for the first test as no test in WA this summer. I am really keen to see how these cocky young Indian batsmen handle our pace attack on a greenish wicket

Darren Berry on GEM reckons it's due to the 9:30am start and the typical juice in the wicket that it brings.....it's now 6 for 12 for God sake!!

This is incredible! 7/20 now! Haven't seen this from WA in years!

You can probably see why England have been so bad in One Day tournaments for so long - the quality of cricket in today's game is almost Test standard, no scores of 300 in 40 overs as you sometimes see in County cricket.

62 all out - the equal third lowest score in Australian One-Day domestic history....shared with Queensland's 62 in the "Miracle Match" mentioned earlier in this thread. Was very surprised that Behrendorff and Paris were taken off as early as they were, but I guess that is the way captains do things these days.
