Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach... Unless your team is Pakistan or the West Indies. They had 4 number 11s each and some pretty crummy wicketkeepers. His stats where overinflated by these tailenders. UNtil he takes a quality 5fa in the test arena or heck just in a sheffield sheid...

Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach... How I shoot myself in the foot. I just said that my least favourite players in the side are Watson and Hauritz. Irrespective of their ability to take wickets or make runs, I am sure you haven't liked players in the past even if they were taking...

Re: Australian Swing Bowlers Would like to see Dirk Nannes getting a big gig. Can really move the ball early especially the white pill. HAvent seen the 4-day effort yet.

Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach... Agree with Krezja very hard done. Had the flight and dip to do alright. Not sure what he has been like at domestic level this year but is consistantly getting a game. I hate to say it but it feels the baggy blue came through with Hauritz (how...

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Ill email the selectors and get them to pick him :) Steve Smith is playing the 20-20s for Australia coming up. But is a bit away from playing test match cricket. Very raw player

Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Three) Kudos to you fellers on this thread. Been having a little bit of a read and your all pretty passionate about the game. Hopefully see a couple more of you on the other boards especially when the Ashes come around shortly. Keep up the good work :)

Re: If you were Australia's bowling coach... Hmmm I highlight this part. I will admit it now but the only two players I have disliked since they became part of the Australian team are Hauritz and Watson (Why I dislike them is for another thread and won't derail it) The point is I have been...

Re: Shahid Afridi banned for two T20s for ball-tampering MCG was quoted in the paper as up to $7000.

Re: Help with timing Again Ill say, you are bringing your bat through too early. If it comes through early the toe bat is obviously going to be in front of the handle. People don't realse the amount of time one has before the ball comes. Take your time and allow the ball to strike the bat...

Re: Help with timing Hey Lemmon You may have answered your own question. It sounds like you are coming through with your shot earlier then you should be. Is this due to the fact you feel the ball should be coming quicker to you then it does or you get too excited when a ball is full and just...

Re: Shahid Afridi banned for two T20s for ball-tampering Dunno about that LtD. Can't remember the last time I saw one at the MCG unless its an up north occurance. Don't know what goes through Afridi's head sometimes. Disappointed not going to see him at the G on Friday but 2 matches do...

Re: Gibson leaves England to take over the West Indies Very smart move from the West Indies and Gibson. He seems quite switched on and with the young talent that is coming through the bowling ranks (Roach and co) he should be able to get the best out of them and improve them into top...

Re: World's Worst Team of the Decade Bit harsh on Ravi Bopara. Still very young, has some talent and did creame 3 tons (was it against the South Africans or Indians before the aussie made it over there?) Richard Dawson was an A Class spud alright :D

Re: Hoggard and Yorkshire What is the definition of a Kolpak player? (I thought they were being fazed out)

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? PLaying d grade club level vs international level. bit of a difference :o

Re: Hopes or McDonald? I dont think we are going to see McDonald back in an Australian top for a while

Re: Who's likely to be in the Ashes 2010/11 in Australia Cheating much? I want to see a contest, give them a pitch that is similar to Brisbane and get them to have a proper crack from day 1.

Re: Reliance Mobile ICC Test and ODI Team Rankings West Indies will fly past Pakistan on these ratings if the former don't get their act together soon.

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? It would of been the best thing to happen for many a years. Many laughs

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? I got some good laughs out of your post LtD You have basicly described Watson to a tee. He would have to be the worse player I have seen in Australian colours to whinge and carry on after gettting out. Down in Melbourne when run out, I had to turn the...
