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

[AlwaysGreen]

JL: "the best none for I have seen"

Sidds: "plenty more where that came from"

 

[Bazal]

Maybe Locky is also JL, as well as a jet setting, LA living, teenage girl, homosexual male punting legend?

Neser over Starc. OMFG

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Peter Noneddle

 

[WaznTheGreat]

England need Nick Knight

 

[Twizzle]

There is a difference- Warner has 21 test hundreds. Starc doesn’t have that to fall back on

you do know that Starc is not a batsman ?

 

[Front-Rower]

Yet despite his so called great bowling he did very little last time against a pretty poor English side in these conditions. Hazelwood has more of a case, atnleast we can replace Siddle with a bowler than can do the same role.

What are you jibbering about? Go back and properly read my post

Technically he is as all 11 players are required to bat but not everyone is required to bowl


Haynetrain super IQ off the charts bruh

All in the XI are batsman but not all in the XI are bowlers

 

[WaznTheGreat]

All in the XI are batsman but not all in the XI are bowlers

Our IQ combined is at least 400 bruh

Not for me. Unchanged imo.

Maybe Hazelwood for Siddle as a like for like (long spell bowler). Wouldn’t change the other bowlers.

Siddle

2/52, 0/28

We don’t need Starc and his 4 balls. Siddle kept it tight picked up a couple of wickets (and was unlucky in the second innings). It’s about the makeup- two express bowlers/burst bowlers and one that can bowl long spells. It’s pretty simple, play the best side as a whole. I’d personally play Hazelwood next test anyway so there is my change. That is on the proviso he bowls 30+ overs in the tour game coming up.

Hazelwood would come in for him or Neser. You need a bowler that can bowl a long spell

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Starc and Hazelwood are useless,couldn't even win us the Ashes when England had Adam Lyth and Gary Ballance in the batting lineup,they should be banned from playing in the Ashes

Peter Siddle > Those two donkeys

Dude, seriously. IF Starc was dropped due to poor performances in the UK then surely Dave must be close to facing the same fate.

Sooner we get Haynetrain and Locky as selectors and high performance set up in australian cricket, the sooner Australia become a world power

Not when your alternative is Marcus Harris! At least we replaced Starc with Pattinson who is top quality and or Siddle who has 200+ test wickets and had 70+ in this County season. If a viable alternative was around for Warner sure drop him by all means. There’s no viable alternative and no Harris isn’t one.

 

[Desert Qlder]

The argument for Siddle is that he can bowl for long stretches without taking wickets.

Keeps it tight, builds pressure for the other end.

Agree with langer about his spell last night, was very good. He was unlucky not to get a wicket.

Siddle

Look at Siddles economy rate in the first innings, very underrated element of the game.

Indeed. A good economy rate certainly helped keep Englands 1st innings manageable.
