Don't you hate it when you are all psyched up for batting, you make sure your pads etc are all properly done up, you do your stretches and go out and when you get your chance the first ball goes right through you into the stumps and you wonder wtf just happened. You give the bowler a "Can I have another go?" look and then trudge off doing the walk of shame infront of your mates who are all taking the piss outta you.

LMAO, terrible.
But did you see the pitch. It was swinging like crazy, seaming, spinning and had snakes in it. Pathetic pitch to play a T20 on. No chance for big hitting. SA A almost got done aswell. Most of their runs were edges.

That is one way of looking at it....... But with so many ODI's and T20's being played now they need young blokes to be thrown in.

Test team pretty much selected
Read this - http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,,26342830-23209,00.html
Surprised it is not more headline news. Hildritch pretty much says who is going to make the test cut.
Looks like Hussey keeps his place and there will be no room for Lee or Hughes.
Given the quality of opposition this year I dare say Lee's career in Test cricket could be over if he does not make the starting lineup of the first test or if there isn't an injury.

Confirmed - Lee is out of contention for the first test due to his elbow injury preventing him playing for his states side.
Surely, given the quality of opposition and the lack of need to change a winning side, that has to be the end of his test career perhaps ?

Elliott and Tuffey picked for tour opener
Cricinfo staff
November 15, 2009
New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has named a 12-man squad to face Pakistan in a three-day warm-up game in Queenstown starting November 18. The squad will be captained by Grant Elliott, who has recovered from his thumb injury, and includes a fit Daryl Tuffey and Test hopefuls Tim McIntosh and Daniel Flynn.
Elliott and Tuffey, who suffered injuries during the ICC Champions Trophy, were ruled out of the ODI and Twenty20 series against Pakistan in the UAE. Mark Greatbatch, a national selector, said the match would provide a good opportunity for them and several other New Zealand players.
McIntosh and Flynn were a part of New Zealand's disappointing Test tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year and did not fare too well in tough conditions and against quality pace and spin. Craig Cumming, who scored a century in the first round of the Plunket Shield this week, has been included as well. Cumming, 34, played the last of his 11 Tests in January 28.
"Grant Elliott and Daryl Tuffey have recovered well from injuries received at the Champions Trophy in South Africa," said Greatbatch. "They have been playing domestic cricket and this will be a further solid workout for them. There are also a few players who are knocking on the door for selection at the top level - and they will get a good opportunity to test themselves against a strong touring side."
Pakistan are due to arrive in New Zealand on Sunday and commence a series of three Tests, the first of which will be played in Dunedin from November 24.
New Zealand Invitation XI squad: Grant Elliott (capt), Craig Cumming, Tim McIntosh, BJ Watling, Daniel Flynn, James Franklin, Reece Young (wk), Daryl Tuffey, Tarun Nethula, Tim Southee, Iain O'Brien, Brent Arnel.

wouldnt say its over, he still is our best test bowler going around, i dont care how well Johnson has played, he showed in England that he also is human and when not in form can get smashed around the park.

When both in form Lee is way better. Johnson has been poor for a couple of months now and really needs to get his act together. He bowled against Tasmania on the weekend and bowled well i thought.

Yeah agree with the above two but you have to look at the mentality of the selectors.
Lee has broken down a lot over the past year and at 33 they will most likely have an eye to the future. Lee is a big drawcard in the shorter forms of the game and easily the most marketable player for Australia in India (bollywood appearances and songs). The selectors may think thats where his speciality, given his age, may now lie.

Spoke to soon darling, Lee re-injured his elbow. He should start to think of hanging up the baggy green!

Nooooooo breeeet 
He'll be there second match. Hilfenhaus will fail in Aus imo. No swing, therefore no Hilfy.
Johnson
Siddle
Hauritz
Lee
When fit, that should be the bowling attack.
For the first match id go with :
Johnson
Hauritz
Siddle
Clark

News just in Lee needs surgery on his elbow.
Hes out for the summer home series.
His test career is over for sure you would think.

I am currently watching THE MOST BRUTAL display of attacking cricket from a batsman of any generation. Virender Sehwag is totally murdering a Sri Lankan bowling line-up that is ranked 2nd in the world.
India 1/400 off 69 overs, in reply to 393.
Sehwag 262 off 214 balls. 37 4's and 7 6's. Absolute domination.
If he gets to 300 by stumps which is 12 overs to go, he has the entire day 3 to get as much runs as he can and the way he's hitting them he could nail 500.
