Drop Lee, Siddle for Boxing Day test

[8Ball]

Please do it, both are absolutely useless. A few wickets against the 3rd grade Kiwis won't change that!

Johnson
Bollinger
Hilfenhaus

plus one of Hauritz or Kreija for the Boxing test.

Thoughts?

Any credibility you had was lost when you said "one of Hauritz or Krejza." Not that you had any.

 

[aussies1st]

I'll at least see what Krejza can do in the next two matches. There is a reason why WA hasn't played a spinner in FC.

 

[mozza91]

Rogers technique was exploited at Test level previously, and although he'd certainly be a better option than Hayden and I'd have no objections to him getting a run, I'd rather Klinger at this stage. Either way they'll be holding the spot for Jaques...

It was 1 test match and he has proved this season that he's the best opener in domestic cricket

You have nailed the best three quicks.

Warne back in the fold as captain for Krejza/Hauritz then we'll very soon become unbeatable again.

 

[Brutus]

I would love to see Brett Lee dropped.

The guy has spent 50 of his 70 Tests chucking pies for his country.

Piss him off.

 

[Brutus]

Lee's 25 overs 1/69 isn't keeping it tight? Yet I bet Locky thinks Krejza's 24 overs 0/102 is keeping the pressure on the batsmen....

Gotta love the lame old excuse when sticking up for a player "Oh but he's getting wickets for the bloke at the other end".

Please.

Facts are Brett Lee averages close to 31 as bowler in Test cricket and that makes him an AVERAGE Test bowler.

We saw it again in this Test.

 

[Churchhill]

Siddle should be dropped for bollinger and haydon if he doesnt perform on boxing day should be replaced by phillip hughes or jacques if fit..Anyway the problem is that they dont have warne to get wickets...And even when warne didnt get wickets he created them at the other end for the the likes of lee and co.

 

[Engine]

I'd drop Siddle, Symonds and Krezja.

I'd include Doug Bollinger, Dave Hussey (much more suited to tests than Symonds, whom I think is a one-day player) and Ashley Noffke.

 

[Engine]

I'd give Haydud one last chance. He missed out on two great batting tracks in Perth and Adelaide. Melbourne promises to be another flat wicket, so he should go if he fails again.

 

[juanfarkall]

Drop Hilditch and Hughes for Border and Lehmann.
Nudge Neilsen in the ribs and tell him that Ian Chappell is waiting for the nod.

 

[Matt23]

Ian Chappell?

 

[Brutus]

Drop Hayden and bring back Robbie Kerr

 

[juanfarkall]

Ian Chappell?

Ian Chappell has stated several times that he does not believe that Australia's top team needs a coach.

 

[Roosterphin1]

We are definately two bowlers short of being a good side. Siddle and Kreza are rubbish......I still dont know how they got a start in the firts place especially Kreiza who hasnt done anything at state level.

Haydos deserves a chance considering what he has done in the past. Remember he has had some dusty decisions.

Symonds should stay....he is great for the team.

 

[JJ]

1. I don't see why Aust insists on playing a spinner, when at present you don't have anyone that is better than a second XI club cricketer
2. Without the blistering pace, Brett Lee is a complete nuffy - bowling at 135-140 the likes of Chris Martin and Ian O'Brien are far superior

 

[HevyDevy]

Haddin and Clarke are fine! Roy and Hayden I'd agree with. Bring in Hughes and Watson.

You wanted Haddin dropped about a month back too.

 

[Dutchy]

Hughes and Henriques!

Much better.

Chuck in Bollinger and Bracks while we are at it.

 

[Mr Angry]

No to the first if anyone rplaces Hayden it should be Rogers
Yes Hilfy is way better then Siddle also Bollinger deserves a shot and Bracken too

I will disagree. We need a generational change.

Hughes would be in my side. I have no issue with Rogers, but I want Hughes in ASAP.

I would have no issue with Bollinger or Bracken for Lee, but would go with Hilfy for Siddle.

I think we will see bowling changes, Haydos I think will survive and has an amazing record at the G, so I could handle that.

 

[lockyno1]

Any credibility you had was lost when you said "one of Hauritz or Krejza." Not that you had any.

Well I am struggling to think of a spinner that deserves a test match with McGain injured. Cullen is in and out of the SA side, Bailey has just got a shoulder injury, Casson is pure tripe, the three that are left are Aaron Heal from WA, Hauritz from NSW, and Kreija. It is an ordinary bunch yes, but I still feel we need a spinner at the MCG and the SCG.

 

[lockyno1]

Ashley Noffke.

Injured, had back surgery:?
