The BaggyGreens Thread

Well guys I'd take Neser over Doggett any day. Gotta remember that Ness has been round the team as long as Boland but CA rarely gives him the nod over Barrell . The very few times he does get the chance to put on the baggy green he bowls with heart and a bit of mongrel which you need against the Pommies.

Deadest pink Test deck I can recall. Just as well we have this healthy cushion as Starc is understandably cooked and the other three have failed to reduce his load in the two matches by taking wickets. They need to step up to the plate in the evening session.

Second tier bowlers will never be any good, Neser and Doggett are one day and T20 type of players not test standard.

Doggett yes, Neser's 5fer stopped the Poms in their tracks before they could jump back into the contest. Play him next match but jettison Doggett.

Great win boys. Poms have never come back from 2-0 down on our shores..

Look Neser had a very good test match but as a long term replacement he's not at the ideal age, 35 is nearing retirement age for any type of bowler.

It is Boland I want dropped for Neser to reward his effort, 6/90 and a Test 5for, equivalent to a batting century. Boland has the mediocre two match figures of 7/192. Doggett will go for Lyon.

Boland is ok nothing special either but he's in the same boat as Neser, both of them are in the twilight years of their careers and obviously Lyon is not going to get another game unless it's is a turning wicket, he's also getting long in the tooth as well. Do you see what's happening the team is aging and we need to slowly introduce youth otherwise watch us start losing more regularly very soon.

You and I see but does CA. Barrell and Ness are reserves while it is the mid to late 30 something regulars that remain and are slowing a generational transition. Ussie and Starc should have been moved on 12 mths ago, Lyon after this series and I reckon Josh is close to announcing his retirement as he must be tired of missing Tests due to niggling injuries.
