Callum Ferguson

[lockyno1]

Please pick him for the 1st test. 120 odd not out today with the ball moving around a fair bit against world class bowlers in Johnson.

He is better than spuds North and Hussey. I don't care about his record, the bloke is ready. Usman at 4, Ferguson at 6.

Speaking of Johnson, is that his first Shield game for WA?

 

[lockyno1]

Probably, but who knows.

He is getting belted.

 

[Twizzle]

Probably says more about Johnson that Ferguson.

Wait till the tail are batting then Notch will clean up.

Ferguson is behind Khawaja in the pecking order

World Class bowler in Johnson? Bit of a joke that our spearhead is being out bowled by no namers.

Congrats to Ferguson. I would say hes ahead of Khawaja based on what the selectors do. Not too fussed which of Ferguson or Khawaja is picked.

Ferguson got the 129 at a strike rate of 90, he must have been batting superbly. It was Johnsons first game for WA. He has 2 wickets now.

 

[aussies1st]

Seems to come naturally for him, pretty much a younger in form batsmen of Mike Hussey.

 

[lockyno1]

Exactly. He is better than Hussey in every way. Pick him. I'd pick Khawaja as well. Pick one at 4 and one at 6. Simple.

you do mean better than Hussey now not overall right??

 

[lockyno1]

Yes, talking about right now.

 

[hineyrulz]

There are at leaat 4 batsman better then Hussey right now, but while ever Ricky is around Hussey is safe....

 

[lockyno1]

There are 4 batsmen in EACH State side better than Hussey at the moment!

 

[Twizzle]

Notch got 2 for 108 off 24, pretty much the worst of WA's bowlers.

He went for 4.5 an over.

Did you expect anything less?? His place wasn't in jeopardy anyway so it won't matter.

 

[aussies1st]

What we saw was standard Johnson. Bowl like crap but grab wickets from out of nowhere. Would prefer one that bowls good and gets wickets out of nowhere but we don't have one atm so we are stuck with Johnson.

 

[Twizzle]

he was awful in India and it looks like that form is continuing

He did get a michelle in the first test. He also took 2 more wickets than Hilfy but I can't see you questioning his position in the side..

 

[Twizzle]

he bowls more rubbish than anyone else in the team but I dont see anyone questioning his place in the team at this stage

There is no doubting some of the absolute crap he bowls but he takes wickets and thats what counts.

 

[Y2Eel]

Well Hussey and North didnt help there Test chances by getting a duck and 10 runs...
