So Hughes didn't play???? Looks like one rule form some player's and another rule for Pontings pets.....

So what's the follow on mark in a 2 day game? Or is this one of those games where it's a 1 innings game. Let's face it there's no way you can get a result in 2 days. Hence why I refered to it as a glorified net session.

Why waste time playing Hughes? Watson needs time in the middle and Katich is hardly setting the world on fire this series. Hughes is no chance of playing the 5th test anyway.

Lee brought himself back into contention with a 3 fer and once again the best bowler bowler from our tour match.

wouldn't matter how well Lee played, they wont pick him

Bowling O M R W Econ
B Lee 16 6 37 3 2.31 (6nb)
PM Siddle 14 2 51 1 3.64 (1nb)
NM Hauritz 16 3 43 2 2.68 (1nb)
MG Johnson 6 1 16 1 2.66 (3nb)

SR Watson 7 4 16 0 2.28
MJ North 8 2 18 1 2.25
SM Katich 2.4 0 9 1 3.37


Lee has clearly outbowled everyone but Johnson didn't really get much of a chance with just 6 overs

Good, he is ordinary in England

 

[Twizzle]

the figures above suggest you are wrong

 

[lockyno1]

He averages 45 with the ball in test cricket in England. He is ordinary in those conditions. Play him in the useless ODI's or 20/20 games

 

[Twizzle]

rubbish,

you want to go back to the last ashes series to find stats that suit your argument rather than look at his current form

you sure your name is Andrew Hilditch ?

 

[lockyno1]

2001 and 2005, two series in these conditions he has been poor. Put any spin you want on it but he is worse than Siddle serving up balls that spell "spank me to the boundary". His current form has no form under these conditions and wickets against a reserve grade side do not count. Plus he is not match fit, he has not bowled 40-50 overs in a match for 8 months!

 

[Bigfella]

Good to see our bowlers have used the opportunity to fine tune their no-balling.

That's atrocious reading yet again.

Locky we all know the reason why Hughes didn't play, in case Hughes slammed a ton and Mr Crap failed again. God this is what sh*ts me about Ponting :x Putting his mates ahead of whats best for the Aussie team.
