[TheParraboy]

3-0 here we come ALONG WITH THE ASHES

Havent seen a weak as piss touring side like this poms side fro a while, considering our side and that they hold the ashes and were supposed to retain them

Mighty Mighty Ingerland ,lol

It's scary that Johnson has been so good this series and we haven't played at the one ground he usually only ever comes good. An in form, full of confidence Johnson at Perth will be fun.

The poms have been shitting themselves all series over the short ball so how will they handle Perth :lol:

 

[Mr Angry]

Short Pitch bowling, That's in England!

 

[madunit]

Johnson has 36 wickets at 19.67 at the WACA, far and away his favourite ground.

 

[Patorick]

Long way to go.

One game at a time.

 

[Liddell]

Any changes? What kind of form is Coulter-Nile in with the bat? If he's doing ok maybe a swap with Smith.

Coulter-Nile can be handy with the bat but not good enough to be picked in the top 6

rest him for the MCG test?

 

[Twizzle]

wow, toss will be important, make those poms stay in the field for the first 2 days

 

[madunit]

If Watson isn't going to bowl, then I'd bring in a tall paceman, just to take advantage of the bounce, who can handle the bat okay

If everyone is 100% fit , no changes

Adelaide was the workload worry, Perth will be easier

absolutely, and with the max temp coming down to 30 but the minimum staying at 20, it will make ideal swing bowling conditions.

Win the toss and bat through to tea on day 2 if possible, and then bowl them out.

 

[Pete Cash]

Bit of a left field one but Faulkner in for Lyon ? Lyon was pretty poor at Adelaide.

 

[TheParraboy]

toss doesn't matter in Perth if the deck is bouncy throughout

Doubt poms can bat through one day let alone day 2 as well lol

Pattinson would fit the bill and he can bat a bit.

He started bat in grade cricket a few weeks back but only as a batsman, no idea if he is bowling as yet.

Not quiet ready yet.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bit of a left field one but Faulkner in for Lyon ? Lyon was pretty poor at Adelaide.

If ,if, if ,if the deck is very green then its a possibility, but as shown at the Gabba Lyon when he flights the ball a bit, the bounce helps him a lot

 

[Pete Cash]

Yep got to have a look at the deck first. I'm just a little disappointed in Lyon who occasionally shows he is going to be the real deal but fails to bowl good lines when we need him to.

Pattinson from all reports is a couple of weeks from return but he would be great if fit.

Woah.

Smith needs time to settle in to the team. He's played reasonably well of late and given the lack of options we need to stick with him.

And Coulter Nile is a bowling all rounder. Totally the wrong replacement.
