Bloody f---ing NS f--ing W won the final. The umpire calling the ball over leg a wide must've been a NSWelshman. Okay, it's only 20/20 but we were totally jibbed. Missing Hodge was the difference, he's one of hte best 20/20 players in the world.

And Australia lost the series to SA. Something's definitely not right with the line up. It just doesn't click through the middle order and M Hussey I think is hurting the momentum a lot. It feels like he's struggling to me. The bowlers have lacked potency. The strike bowlers aren't there. I've mentioned it before but Mitchell Johnson has too many loose deliveries and it came out here. Picking Hauritz was hilarious. Why persist with a guy who can barely make his state side? B/c he's a NSWelshman?

Bringing Bracken to the Ashes is an interesting idea but nothing about him says to me that he's a wicket taker. He's an economic tight bowler with great control but lacks that venom. I think if we need a Stuart Clark type bowler, we should bring him but he's not a strike bowler. Hilfenhaus... just doesn't seem the goods to me.

Warner's interesting too. Will he make a move interstate? B/c that NSW side has a few openers in the wings already and I'm sure he has ambitions beyond the shorter forms of the game.

We'll beat NZ but that doesn't mean very much now, does it?
