England vs NSW tour match

[Twizzle]

A number 6 getting 30 and 2 wickets is very valuable. Anything more is a bonus realistically. It is not as if I am expecting more than a 10 or 20 from Clarke anyway!

but he averages 36

 

[lockyno1]

but he averages 36

Yet he hasn't averaged much at all since his 1st Indian series. IMO he is too inconsistent for mine at test level.

 

[hineyrulz]

gotta laugh at locky's effort in this thread,keep it up champ:thumb

 

[lockyno1]

Thanks hiney, I knew you'd start to beleive in me!

 

[Red Bear]

clarke played better than watson is

 

[hineyrulz]

Thanks hiney, I knew you'd start to beleive in me!

no probs mate

 

[lockyno1]

Hodge played better than either of them.

 

[Twizzle]

who cares, he'll never play for Aussie again

 

[lockyno1]

Which is a joke as Clarke averages 40 and Hodge averages 58, and Clarke gets picked becuase he looks good and is marketable!

 

[Twizzle]

so it had nothing to do with his batting ability

Mate, I think you've got it this time...Clarke gets picked cos the selectors want to nail him...

It is not out of the question!:lol:

Nope, as he aint very good at that part!

 

[Timbo]

Jesus Locky. If 30 is acceptable for a test no.6 for you then you're even more deluded than I thought.

 

[lockyno1]

30 and 2 wickets is a pretty good return. Honestly this is how I do it:

1 wicket=20 runs
2= 40 runs
3=60 runs
4=80 runs
5= 100 rns

30 + 40= 70 runs contribution. That is a reasonable return.

 

[willvillain]

But what about Clarke's value of 30 runs in the field. Hahaha. Locky, at the very least you make me laugh (although that is after hours of being frustrated at your stupidity, but still... laughter is laughter).

 

[lockyno1]

Watson is pretty reasonable in the field anyway. Plus when you have Hussey and Hayden and Ponting that is enough great fielders!

 

[aussies1st]

Well Clarke just past Watson pathetic "70 runs" so I guess that means he should be at number 6 ;-)

Oh forgot to add, heres the battle of the spinners. Haurie vs Casson with the bat.
