My view was geez, the Age has turned into the Herald Sun with bullshit headlines trying to get some attention - this was a non story 20 years ago, Hookes was just trying to get a rise out of people on his radio show…which he did successfully.
‘Us versus them’: The states winning the battle for the baggy green
Twenty years ago, David Hookes made a famous quip about NSW and brown paper bags. But do the Blues still dominate national selection? We’ve crunched the numbers to find out.www.theage.com.au
Surely we have a kid keeper somewhere
Blackwood from Geelong and Rowe from St Kilda, both are injured though. The rest would be batting at 10 at best, or you'd be calling on Stepien who's retired from Grade level. Unless you flew Doran over.
the game doesn't have FC status, so give everyone a go
Blackwood is more of a bat than keeper and Rowe left for Tasmania last season. Stepien is playing in Bendigo now. Jai Lemire from Carlton is probably the next one in from Premier level but there isn't a lot this season
Will they use the scoreboard or even scorebooks,strange why the ground is closed.Would have had about a thousand people there with it now being school holidays,a strange decision.
Please note that the CitiPower Centre will be closed to the general public and media for both days of the game.
--------------------
Probably emphasises my point - re our talent development and a massive opportunity lost - very short sighted decision
That's what I heard on SEN from Tom Morris. Pretty poor given what CA did for them touring a while back. Cricket is only rivalled by rugby league in its ability to shoot itself in the foot.
All Pakistan batsman getting a start but no one going on with it at the moment.Link to scorecard here. Tyler Pearson in for McClure it seems

Union has them all covered but this is an opportunity lost
Harry Dixon is the boy I would like to see make runs tomorrow.
Surely time to retire Harris when he gets his century.Good knock by Brasher so far.
A great opportunity for Dixon who is now in but this Pakistan attack is a worry for them for the Boxing Day test.
Probably more reason why people aren’t allowed in to watch
And now a declaration by Victoria or would have Pakistan ask them to declare.
Option 2
