your test selection

It is not Hauritz, it is Mark Waugh FFS!

 

[Twizzle]

One of your best players :lol:

How is Mark Waugh a queenslander! :lol:

ps. Haurie is a champion though, future 300 wicket test bowler IMO!

 

[HevyDevy]

Since when! He bowls 135 max. Johnson bowls 145kmh.

Do you read posts before you reply? I said Bracken bowls faster than McGrath. I didn't even mention Johnson.

 

[lockyno1]

But he doesn't bowl quicker than McGrath! Mcgrath is high 130's!

 

[Parra Guru]

Martyn is one of those players that I can't wait to retire. But part of me hopes that he holds on for too long and gets remembered for being a nuffie.

 

[lockyno1]

Same with Clarke!

300 wicket 3rd grade bowler

I disagree there. Haurie is a superstar and is adored by many on these forums!

Unless you suffer from multiple personality disorder, he is adored by a grand total of one deluded nuffy....

There are many haurie fans around!

Lockys insane garbage below.

Difference is that Watson was playing on the WACA, which was surprisingly pretty difficult to bat on for the most part. Plus he got a dam good ball. A wrongun 2nd ball right on the money. Nothing you can do about that.

He'll come up with anything to support a none nsw player.

Not really. I think you'll find quite a few guys getting out early in that tournament. It was the pitches half the time. The balls he tried to pull on every single other wicket they were pull balls!

Yet another occation where he is finding an excuse to support a player not from nsw.

We'll see tommorrow guys! A bolter for the no6 could be Cameron White

LMAO!!!

Stats provided by another poster:

1st Test at Fatullah: 19, 9

2nd Test at Chittagong: 23*

As a comparison, here are Damien Martyns scores in Bangladesh...

1st Test at Fatullah: 4, 7

2nd Test at Chittagong: DNP

Lockys comment on that

Martyn only played one match, so Clarke had the advantage of playing the extra match

they both got out twice. At least clark made double fgures in the opening match!

That is a massive difference. Clarke's average is pathetic considering he has had 20 odd tests, to Watson's 3. Clarke still only averages 35 for crying out loud. To me that is not taking the most out of your opportunities. Bracken is a poor performer at test level even though he has played at the GABBA a few times if I am not wrong. His record of 43 is rubbish to be honest! Watson adds the bowling option, thats why I want him in the side!

lets have a look at a controdiction shall we

Brakens batting avg after his 5 tests, 17.5

He has landed 12 wickets at an avg 0f 42.08 [how does that become 43? If you know maths at all, that number would be rounded down as it is 42.49 or lower].

Watsons batting avg after his 3 tests, 20.25. That's not much better then our number 10 batsman in bracken is it now?

Watsons has got 2 wickets in his 3 tests at an avg of 61.5.

You want to drop bracken as he hasn't performed in his limited number of tests, however you want to keep watson who has performed far worse in his limited test career.

As i've demonstrated above, you do come up with a lot of sh!t:crazy:

 

[Parra Guru]

Same with Clarke!

No you see, Clarke hasn't actually wasted anyone's time where as Martyn has. When I'm watching overseas series whether it be one day ot tests, if Martyn comes into bat I go to bed. Most selfish cricketer ever.

 

[HevyDevy]

But he doesn't bowl quicker than McGrath! Mcgrath is high 130's!

He was around 129 in the Champions Trophy actually

 

[JJ]

:lol:

McGrath hasn't consistently been high 130s for years... but it's not important

Knights post is pretty comprehensive locky :lol:

 

[HevyDevy]

Champions Trophy 129

 

[JJ]

if you think real hard hevy, you'll see I was agreeing with you

McGrath figured out years ago that pace wasn't that important... just as Hadlee and Lillee did (despite Lillee's nonsensical mutterings these days)

 

[HevyDevy]

Ahh yes, indeed you were.

You see Locky, Bracken is a SWING bowler as opposed to a FAST bowler.

He isn't there to bowl at 330 km/h

 

[lockyno1]

Swing bowlers are MEANT to take wickets!

 

[lockyno1]

So I guess I was right! No Clarke, no Hacken. Tait, Johnson, and Clark in the squad!
