2019 ASHES: 1st Test Australia v England, Edgbaston Aug 1-5

[tomdl]

Siddle is a great pick. Need someone to run in all day from one end and put the ball on a dime. Look what Murtagh did to England last week.

 

[Fangs]

Hazelplod is so overrated,i'd go with Siddle

Both of them will take wickets in England. Pattinson is the guy who should be questioned.

This. Your express, blast a team out bowlers are Cummins and Pattinson. You need a bowler to bowl donkey overs, and no Lyon isn’t the one. Either Hazelwood or Siddle not fussed. I’d go Siddle personally on form.

 

[TheParraboy]

agree with Locky..

Pattinson was the best bowler in the intro match. After that he was a certainty

There's some question marks over every pace bowler except that magnificent stallion Patrick Cummins.

Siddle: too slow, too ugly, too Victorian, too plod.
Pattinson: he's as fragile as Bruce Reid.
Starc: white ball king red ball Jack.
Hazelwood: needs a big series with a big haul. He's not lived up to his potential for mine.

Yep, so it's understandable they are leaning to the bowlers in form.

Apparently Khawaja and Pattinson are in:

So that would make the side a little like this I'd imagine
1. Warner
2. Harris
3. Khawaja
4. Smith
5. Head
6. Labuschange
7. Paine
8. Cummins
9. Pattinson
10. Hazlewood
11. Lyon

I'd probably go Bancroft at 5 at Head at 6 though to strengthen the batting a bit more.
I guess with Siddle, he did take more wickets in the intra squad trial game than Hazlewood and Starc. I'd still find it harder to leave Hazlewood out of the first test team though if he's fit.

Here's one for ya - is Starc and possibly Hazelwood on the outs because of their objections to Smith and Dave Wanker's comments around the sandpaper scandal?

The loss of Deep Impact has melted your brain Bruv.

Don't know about that. I mean Starc and Warner played in the WC together.
What's done is done. When they're retired they can throw all the barbs they want at each other if they want.

He has gone from Octagonal to Vote for Lust

Yeah, I was just putting it out there.

Just saw an interview with our coach comparing Siddle to Glenn McGrath.........sack this little prick

haha, that’s a bit much. But if he pitches it up he’ll take wickets.

 

[Bazal]

Siddle is a penis with arms.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I can't wait.

The Ashes...ahhhh...

On a total side note - and only because most of the most experienced LU's folks are in this thread...but whatever happened to El Diablo?

I'd still take Pidge now over Banana boy now, Langer is an absolute space cadet.

 

[King hit]

Comparing Siddle to McGrath? I’ve always liked Siddle but compared to McGrath

Lol

Probably incarcerated.

Best not to mention him, in case he returns
