Steve was in at 7 in 87/88 WC final with O'Donnell at 8, tho to be fair - Dyer was the wicket keeper listed to bat 9. ;)

But Billy was used as a pinch hitter at 4 :D

This is rather interesting reading all round. Aus get cute after piling on the runs, leaving Steve and Mark to bat as high as 8 and 9 who don't bat, Aus only win by 1 run. You know, you think Chappelli is a kook when he talks about SWaugh as a player far too concerned about his average, then you see a scorecard like that.


Whats so interesting? and How is Tugger concerned about his average?

You dont think Harvey and Lee send in obviously as hitters (t20 style). Both Waugh's weren't that

Harvey - def. Lee maybe. But this was early in his career. But your argument hits an iceberg with Flemming.

Tugger only played on for another yeat

So not Tugga then ;)

Maybe Lee is the better option. He'd hit 4 4s and 2 6s in odi career upto date before that innings.

But Flem hit 1 6 only in his entire odi career.

Mark Waugh not a hitter?

Not a fan of Steve Waugh slog sweep or his 99 WC?

Lee Hadnt had a hit in the previous 3 games that series

We were well positioned , probably giving him a hit to give him some time in the middle just in case

good captaincy really ;)

And Femming?


obviously sent in to protect Juniors stats :rolleyes:

well if Lee didnt have a hit in the series last 3 games, neither did Flemming

Great foresight and thinking by Tugger (flemming made a crucial 14 runs next game when we needed it, though we won easily in the end)
