Haha yeah Ingram is worse than Mathew Sinclair - doesn't move an inch. It works for him big time in domestic cricket on good pitches against fairly innocuous bowling, but was never going to be all that successful on the world stage.

His FC record is brilliant, better than anyone else going around, but he hasn't been picked until now because of that very thing.

Finally, the real cricket has started. Good to see the Kiwis picked a team to take twenty wickets, and pitch looks pretty flat too. Love watching Vettori bowl he's a gem surpised his average is so high.

yes, great knock. Amazing that there are 3 Tasmanians in the 11, especially when you consider our population of 400,000 out of 21 million or so.

It appears as though the last day of Aus v India is set up nicely.

I didn't see any of it, but apparently Billy did a silly and missed a plumb LBW at the end? Maybe it was only his boner for S.Waugh that kept him giving the Aussies a golden run years ago....

I saw it, I was not happy, mind you the guy before got a shocker against him so it all evens out apparently.

Yeah, there were a lot of questionable calls during the Test.

I used to be a big North fan but it's definitely time for him to go. We need runs in the middle order and Clarke/Hussey/North just isn't getting it done.

Smith definitely has to come in to replace Hauritz.

So we're about to lose the Ashes on home soil. Sucks to be Australian cricket at the moment. Things might not get better soon either.

Watson - He's in my 11 but not sure where. Doesn't seem to want to go on and make big scores.
Hughes - Weird technique. Need to see more of him. Unfortunately he isn't hanging around long enough for me to have a look.
Ponting - Sadly his time is over. Wish that he hadn't blown up at the MCG over that call. A bad way to go out.
Clarke - Form trough. Still our next best option as captain.
Hussey - Has been a champion all series. I hope he gets a chance to reflect soon and go out on his own terms.
Smith - Will stick around. Has talent but has a lot to learn.
Haddin - Close to our MVP this summer. If only we could get him and Tim Paine into the same 11.
Johnson - Flashes of brilliance. Not as dependable as you'd like, obviously.
Harris - Love this guy. Might not see him back again, given chronic knee problem and current injury.
Hilfenhaus - Also love this guy. Has toiled for not much result. A shame.
Siddle - Not sure whether I like him terribly but he keeps bowling great spells.

North - Loved him when he was making runs but obviously completely out of form.
Doherty - This was a bad idea.
Beer - This was a much worse idea.
Katich - A good campaigner but it would seem that his time is over.
