Bangers vs Aussies - 1st Test

[Red Bear]

I could swap jaques for Clarke i think, give clarke more first class games. As long as Symonds isnt in the side i'll be happy

They gave one out to N Hauritz, and I agree, that was a joke.

Disagree there, haurie was very well deserving!

 

[lockyno1]

Well if Tait didn't get injuried we could have played him for Lee. He already has a baggygreen. Jaques could have played. Then we could have brought in 2 other youngsters. That fits your bill

Ok, name your ideal Bangladesh side?

 

[aussies1st]

Jaques
Hayden
Ponting
Cosgrove
Hussey
Watson
Gilchrist
Cullen
Tait
Dizzy
McGrath

 

[lockyno1]

I'd have Johnson in for McGrath as he is unavailiable. Nice side though, although I would try watson at no4. You might as well!

 

[willvillain]

Watson is injured. Johnson is a mong.

Depends what you meant. If you meant the guys in our current squad then something like

Jaques
Hayden
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Symonds
Gilchrist
Cullen
Dizzy
MacGill
Clark

 

[lockyno1]

I'd go

1. Hayden
2. Jaques
3. Ponting
4. Cosgrove
5. Hussey
6. Thornelly/Watson, watson is injured so give thornelly a go
7. Gilchrist
8. Cullen
9. Doran
10. Dizzy
11. Johnson

12th Michael Clarke

Locky rating a NSWmen never thought I would see the day
Can't complain with that team looks good.

 

[Twizzle]

Good fight and aggression by Hossain. Ponting hit on helmet

I thought that was fantastic

It just shows how much the bangers have grown in confidence since we last played them, they are not easily intimidated anymore and they know they can mix it with the best.

 

[Twizzle]

McGrath is a shire boy too! ;-)

are you talking about the shire of NSW

McGrath is a country boy

 

[Twizzle]

He has a shoulder injury which he has been carrying sice the end of the SA tour. They will most likely "rest" him.

elbow

 

[Twizzle]

its a shame Ashrafaul was so dissapointing in this test match, he was the one I was looking forward to seeing bat

he has promised so much as a youngster but has not gone on with it as he has matured

 

[aussies1st]

Thats always the case with him, so much talent but hardly ever shows it. Very inconsistent.

 

[Ridders]

can't agree wit use more....if Ashraful can utilise his full potential, he will become a world class bastmen....i also think that Mohammed Rafique has been our onli world class bowler and has been so for a long time

on another note congrats on the aussies comeback, even tho the bangers dominated the first two days, Australia still managed to grit it thru and eventually showed y they r the top team in the world....looking forward to the second test

 

[aussies1st]

Thats always the case, you have to play all 5 days to beat Aus. NZ have been well on top over Aus but there is key moments where they have been found wanting. Thats test match cricket.

and thats why australia r so good at that level

 

[Macca]

Twizzle! You should know better than to bite at my bait.

Ricky Ponting lives here too. He's a shire boy.

We could have 4 shire locals in the test side shortly. Playing the most anticipated Ashes series in history. Ahh it makes you proud.

Difference with Thornelly and the others is that he has "earnt" his spot through good performances. He is one player I rate from NSW!

 

[lockyno1]

elbow

Ok, same point though. He is carrying a injury!
