Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
Quite possibly but Fergusons record aint that great anyway so doubt he would be in test contention from his ODI stats and his first class record is just shit
Re: IPL 2010 Season
For 90% of players it is a holiday, how can they use it as a warmup when they dont play a game? Cameron White is a gun T20 batsman, yet had to sit back whilst Bangalore decided to play all their South Africans in every game because thats where it was played, yet this year...
Re: Sheffield Shield Thread 2009/2010
Yeah well QLD cant help it that they dont have any attacking players, but the crowd will love the attacking cricket played by Huss, White, Finchy, Wade and Hastings
Re: IPL 2010 Season
Why have a window for what is always called an Indian Domestic Tournament? With just 4 Internationals per team and half of those taken up by retired players, whats the point? So they stop all cricket around the world so everyone can watch an Indian domestic tournament and...
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
Hopes is a definate bowling all rounder, Watson started out that way too, you wouldnt bat Hopes at no6 or 7 in the test side nor would Watson back when he started so they dont really help the argument that he should be regarded as a batsman for the test...
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
I do like how Cameron Whites average over summer keeps getting lower every day...
He averaged 41 for the summer and 45 for Australia since the start of the England tour, not bad at all, but of course runs at international level dont compare to the might...
Re: Australia in New Zealand
Says alot about a player who has played 1 first class match in 12 months cant even get through an ODI series without getting injured yet is supposed to be in the test side?...
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
But the question remains, you have a player in his first year making lots of runs and averaging 75 or you have a player who has averaged 50 over 4 seasons and 50 or so in his last 12 months in the ODI side, which is better?
If he is the best available...
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
I wasnt only talking of the media, but most of these beatup players start there and its usually from one state, notice other players with strong domestic records only get talked up on cricket boards, rarely hear about Klinger in the media
But on...
Re: Sheffield Shield Thread 2009/2010
Just like Victoria would have won all those years ago if Stuart Law played by the spirit of cricket...
Lets face it, away teams dont win Shield finals, its too much pressure on them, especially when they decide to bowl first and let the opposition...
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
Its nothing new when the latest hot prodigy with the massive media bandwagon behind them is in form, next will be Khawaja
Some would have a test team full of 20 year olds, wouldnt matter that they wouldnt win a test series for 10 years...
Re: Sheffield Shield Thread 2009/2010
Vics will bat out 2 1/2 days and win the match as is usual when not playing at a sub standard ground with shit drainage
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
Yet still averaged 29 batting at no8...
Has improved alot over the last 18 months when given a chance for the first time at ODI level to actually make runs
As for Harris and Siddle, so one has got worse since playing the no1 nation in the world yet...
Re: Test XI Selection Thread - NZ Tour
He averages over 45 in each of his last 4 first class seasons in Australia, doesnt get to play much being away with Australia so often in the last 2 years, but he would be getting picked like so many before him on his ODI performances against international...
