your test selection

[hineyrulz]

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:

great post,said what i've been trying to say in a week in just one post. well done

Cheers for the nice words guys.

Have you noticed that locky only replys to posts that he can try and riggle out of, but a good post he simply ignores, lol.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

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

I believe I spotted another controdiction [you make this so easy!]

You're bragging about certain selections that you wanted and the selecters made similar ones. However earlier you were bagging the selectors for being wrong after their team selections in the ashes. LMAO [yet again]

 

[aussies1st]

Theres no getting through to Locky, he thinks everything he says is right....

 

[Sanchez]

well done bring it home knights.
keep locky in his place

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Cheers Sanchez. Outspoken idiots just get to me as they clearly bother alot of you. I know it wont stop his attention seeking behaviour, but it does feel good to call someone on their idiot behavior.

 

[hineyrulz]

well done bring it home knights.
keep locky in his place

LA,CANBERRA,SYDNEY,BRISBANE,LOONEY BIN?

 

[Rammo]

Australia will definitely win the first 3 tests if there's no weather disruptions.

They'll win in Brisbane because England are still finding their feet out here.

They'll win in Adelaide because England won't be able to handle Warne and MacGill in tandem on that pitch.

They'll win in Perth because England won't be able to handle the bounce.

As for Melbourne and Sydney, I'd give them some sort of chance. If Australia are only up 1-0 after the first 3 tests, I'd still give England a chance of retaining the Ashes.

But I think the rain will have to be kind to them in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for that to happen.

 

[lockyno1]

However earlier you were bagging the selectors for being wrong after their team selections in the ashes.

They were wrong but they learn from their bad mistakes.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

obviously you haven't.........

 

[JJ]

They'll win in Adelaide because England won't be able to handle Warne and MacGill in tandem on that pitch.


.

according to the other thread, the current squad is for the first three tests - so MacGill (in theory) won't play until Melbourne or Sydney

 

[Twizzle]

I believe its for the first 3 test series

3 (The Mobile Phone Network) being the sponsor

 

[JJ]

ok - sponsor got me

 

[Sanchez]

a drawn series results in a retention of the ashes for england. is that correct?

 

[Twizzle]

yeah, if its drawn, the pomms keep the ashes

I love it how locky goes quiet once he is shown his faults!

 

[Sanchez]

I love it how locky goes quiet once he is shown his faults!

dont we all

 

[lockyno1]

I love it how locky goes quiet once he is shown his faults!

What faults. I am right most of the time. I make the occasional mistake as everyone else does, but I do know what I talk about!

 

[Bring it home Knights]

I'm not saying you are always wrong. I am saying you talk alot of sh!t. You look at things very one sided and only cover things you favour in a very biased view that ignores the other side of the story that will prove you wrong.
