Ashley Noffke

[Spike]

How good a form is this guy in? He's been great with the bat and ball so far this season. Again claiming 4/16 so far in the QLD v Sri Lankans match. Although he would still be a long way from the minds of selectors, he doing everything possible to remind them of him.

 

[hineyrulz]

He is the form player of the Pura Cup, i've never been a fan but he is in good form.

 

[pantherlove]

He is having a "Mini Bichel" season so far.

swap johnson for Noffke

 

[Twizzle]

must be a pretty green top up there today

he's gone through the Sri Lankans like a hot curry

 

[herbert henry1908]

it says something about Johnson that two washed up ex Australian players out bowled him today.

 

[hineyrulz]

swap johnson for Noffke

Well he has outbowled him twice in a week.

 

[TheParraboy]

They asked Johnson what happened last week vs the blues

he said "they werent coming out of the hand as good as I would like, its only one game" :lol:

 

[Big Mick]

Reason why Johnson is an OK One day bowler - People HAVE to hit him
Reason why Johnson is SH!T at any longer version - People can wait and pick off his inconsistent bowling.

If you were to pick an IN FORM bowling attack for the Aussies:

8. Ashley Noffke
9. Brad Hogg
10. Stuart Clark
11. Doug Bollinger

There were reports during the week that the gabba pitch was a little unprepared and would be quite green, the curator stating it would be more friendly to spin.

Then the Sri Lankan captain after the first days play yesterday said he was surprised by the movement on the wicket.

If the captain can't realise a green pitch is going to cause some movement off the seam, then Sri Lanka are going to get absolutely hammered more severely than anyone could ever anticipate

Australia must pick MacGill, Lee, Johnston and Clark as the bowlers and have Symonds bowling mediums. I'd expect Clark to grab a fair few wickets at the GABBA.

why 'must' Australia pick Johnson?

what has he ever done with the red ball that makes him a 'must have'!?

 

[Tom Shines]

I have a feeling Johnson will be the new Lee.

Get in the team, put on a smile for the ladies (and Locky), and suddenly he has 54 endorsement deals and they don't drop him from the side, no matter how sh*t he is.

 

[Twizzle]

looking at the way Qld are struggling with the bat, you would have to go in with 4 quicks

 

[TheParraboy]

If 3 quicks cant get the job done on a greener wicket vs SL then we got massive problems

McGill will play as an insurance (for variety and in case the quicks fail)......imo

 

[aussies1st]

Noffke just picked up both openers in the 2nd inns. Surely he must come in if Johnson fails.

I doubt it , Hilfenhaus is next in Line.

he has just replaced tait in the 1st test squad b/c tait has elbow soreness.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Noffke>Johnson.

No problems there, as long as Noffke is next after him.

 

[Twizzle]

Noffke>Johnson.

agreed

Johnson cant gert a wicket on a green top where all other quicks are cleaning up, hell even Kasper got a wicket

 

[dubopov]

Isn't the current game against Silly Wanka at the Alan Border Field ??
