Re: What Bat should I get
just a question, but would you have made the state side if you gently caressed a four through the gaps too? it probably wouldnt break your bat and show another side of your ability.
anyway, for what you want - big shots - by the sounds of it, you'll want a rather...
Re: Michael Vaughan, what have you become?
you've got a fair point there, it might be that ive missed some of his articles, but he seems to be a constant stream of gripe, complaint and misery, almost always directed at the english team. maybe its just my opinion but as he's so fresh out of the...
Michael Vaughan, what have you become?
Dont get me wrong folks, Vaughany is unmistakably one of Englands best captains, and owns one of the most beautiful square drives in cricket. But since he stepped down/got sacked/whatever you want to call it, he's taken to systematically rubbishing and...
Re: Who's likely to be in the Ashes 2010/11 in Australia
England were getting the ball to reverse a full 10 overs before SA ( about the 20-25 over mark) so effectively to the point that SA claimed there was something shady - this was before the 'stud-gate' incident.
What gibson did so well...
Re: Australia's Bowling Depth
I agree with you mate, but isnt this similar, if not identical to the threat created by LtD just below?...
Edit: sorry the only exception being the inclusion of spinners in this thread
Re: Does Australia have the best fast bowling group in the world?
That is a pretty formidable group.
About a year ago i would have said SA could have challenged them, and i reckon in about a year they could challenge again. Ntini is gone unfortunatley and i think parnell and de wet need time to...
Re: West Indies in Australia
have to say im liking how well the windies have bowled
havin said that i reckon if gayle, simmons and pollard dont fire, then the aussies will have it.
would gladly be proven wrong tho, i have a soft spot for the windies - underdog syndrome :)
Re: Gibson leaves England to take over the West Indies
just heard talk of lawson and kasprowicz were thrown into the mix. any opinions? Dont think Kasper has a chance, lawson maybe but compared to donald i doubt it
oh and mas, i saw you said pollock was untested but if i remember right, he had...
Re: footwork, balance, timing...
Im no expert on batting, despite my fanatic love for the game, but for the footwork drills at home you could try shadow batting. I used to be only able to slog, until, bored watching tv, i picked up my bat and played some shadow on drives, making sure i took a...
Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach...
Are you talking about my comment? IF so then you have missed the point completley. I stated that a spinner was expected to have success against the tale, and true, Warne did get tailenders, but he was in the habbit of getting very competant top...
Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach...
This I definatley agree with, or maybe bowling hauritz for a long spell and then giving the leggie a short burst from the same end. batsmen might be expecting the ball to turn into them (or not at all - :p) and misread the break off the pitch
Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach...
spinners should be able to get the tale out easily, should. The turn dip drift is generally enough to bamboozle less capable batsmen. But they should also be able to nick out wickets in the top order too, a la Warne, Murali and Swann (dont read into...
Re: Gibson leaves England to take over the West Indies
Cricinfo lists a few potention candidates
Donald
Pollock - would be incredible to get him, his line and length style is what broad SHOULD be bowling. if he can impart that skill we could have a genuine and consistant world class...
Re: Watson - Love him or hate him?
My apologies both LtD and A for effort.
being an ignorant pom i fail to see through the clouds of failure up into the glorious sunshine in which the mighty baggy greens reside. i shall now return to my queues, drizzle and complaining
sorry for wasting your...
Re: Watson - Love him or hate him?
But the best players, by best I mean those of better character, would rise above it, prefering to let their performance do the talking. Steyn almost always flips out when he gets a wicket, especially if its KP's! but he doesnt pump his fists or shout at KP...
