Re: mitchell johnson
you are judging this (fine mbuck - not hack) sh*tcarter as "the next superstar of australian cricket" based on ONE international performance.
no because mcgrath has performed on many, many occasions at international level.rumblah;110570 said:

Re: mitchell johnson
McGrath has taken 5 wicket hauls on roads that would put the Princes Highway to shame. It's ridiculous. Johnson averages nearly 30 in List A games and the same at first class level, the only wickets he gets are on the Gabba greentop, he is the bowlers equivalent to a flat-track-bully.

Re: mitchell johnson
...and I'm not saying that Johnson deserves to be shot, but all of his wickets have come on bowlers tracks in conditions that suit quick bowlers, and that his first class record is less than flash. It puzzles me how he got into the Aussie side in the first place...rumblah;110585 said:

Re: mitchell johnson
In an innings that lasted fourteen overs, he performed very well in that short burst, that is granted, but one spell doesnt make a champion. My initial point was he has had one very good game and compounded with his sub-par First class statistics, he shouldnt be touted as the next champion of Australian cricket too early. Maybe I was harsh in calling him a hack, but there are plenty of other bowlers out there who could do as good or better than what Mitchell Johnson can do.

Re: mitchell johnson
No, not Dorey.
Bracken, Clark, Tait, Gillespie, Watson, Rofe, Bichel, Kasprowicz and Hilfienhaus are all better, and to a lesser extent Denton, Harwood and Lewis.

Re: mitchell johnson
Mate, youve been around for 10 posts, I'm a big rap for Australians, but I don't overrate them like many people here. If you actually looked at the facts you would realise what you just said is stupid. And I may sound arrogant, but I dont really take in your naive, youthful opinion, you cant go parading around applauding your 'favourites' without having something to back it up.jamie_yob29;110774 said:
Re: mitchell johnson
Some of what is written above is ludicrous. Lewis, 10-0-113-0.
Johnson is a much better player than all those Victorians listed. Denton, Bichel, Gillespie and Kasprowicz are too old to be getting a game now and they've done nothing significant of late to be even considered for getting a berth. They've had their chance and they blew it.
And Rofe and Harwood haven't done anything impressive either.
Tait and Bracken I agree with, they should be a getting a game especially when Tait manages to get some form and a good amount of bowling done for South Australia.
Don't know about Watson, I don't think he is right for the test side, ODI's he should be in there.

Re: mitchell johnson
thank god you said no to Dorey..... Clark, Gillespie, Bichel, Kaspa and Denton are all over 30. we need some youth, we have about 4 (could be a little bit off) players in the current squad under the age of 30. youth is needed.
