Haze will be quality but I dont think he is there yet, Johnson used to be one of the best but not this series.

How the f**k does Starc get another test recall.

Absolute passenger in test cricket.

Johnson performed on the one pitch that suited him. But yeah not at his best.

I think it comes down to him needing a break, I hope they give him time off early in the ODI series.

Bracken wasn't anywhere near Starc in terms of pace. Actually if anyone reminds me of Bracken it is Behrendorff. In fact I think Behrendorff is almost a clone of Bracken bowling wise.

The comparsion isn't to do with pace but to do with the fact both couldn't bowl as well with the red ball,both ODI specialists/racist against the red ball.

One of Starc's biggest problems is that he doesn't play enough first class cricket, he seems to be the perennial 12th man for Australia and its probabaly one of the reasons he is so inconsistent, he needs more cricket.

Starc was soft in Brisbane. Warne was an arse for pointing it out as he did, but it was there. I would have thought this one is a big test in his career. Behrendorff is coming to get his place in the pecking order.

Am I being insensitive or is this Hughes stuff going over the top?
Tragic story but it's been going for a month.

More hater rubbish. In my defence, I did manage to let it go for the first 3 posts.

Watson was the 5th pace option in Adelaide. You must have missed the fact that Mitch Marsh played. The fact he wasn't in the all rounder role might be a reasonably important consideration when evaluating Watsons all rounder bowling load.

In Mebourne he bowled 16 out of 128. Essentially saving the 3 pacemen 1 x 4 over spell each per day or holding up one end for about 30min a session. 10-12 a day doing that is very useful and is what is required from that role. If it's not, you have issues with your main attack and you need to look at them. If an important 6-8 tight over spell is needed, then that responsibility should fall with a main bowler. Why shouldn't it ? You do have 4 of them, all selected specifically to bowl, and a cricket pitch only has two ends. If none of them are up to that task and you are searching for the all rounder, it's not the all rounder you need to be looking at.
Ricky Wazn continuing to stand by his man :lol:
