Australia vs. New Zealand, 18-22 March 2005, 2nd Test at Wellington

[Paoli]

Agreed vvv, NZ 3-48 and some resolute play from Cumming, not unlike Rigor Richardson saving a bit of face...

I reckon chuck Hodgey in next test, Clarke isn't in the best of test form, averaging 13 from his last 6 tests and needs a reality check....Your time is now, No. 391

2 Opening pair to have scored consecutive double century in Test.

I agree Paoli. Clarke got off to a great start but i always knew he could'nt keep it up. Hodge would likely take his chance. Problem for Clarke is if he does get dropped, how could he get back into the side? There is no domestic cricket to fall back on. Drop him now and he may not get back. Either way, he needs to learn that you cannot rest on your laurels and you are only as good as your last game. He will still have ODI's at least.

The guys a New South Welshman mate, that means automatic inclusion into the squad no matter what sort of form he's in.

He could get 13 ducks in a row, and yet the "PUP" will still get a look at as long as Hohns is still in the main chair.
