2010 Ashes Super Thread

Krezja needs a recall, I honestly reckon he's the best spinner Australia as got at the moment.

Other than take a 7-for .. what did he do wrong ?

 

[Shanked]

is kreizja even in tassies sheffield team?

 

[Hansta]

he is in the team pretty much when doherty isnt which is saying alot lol.

IMO our best bowler is Steve O'Keefe. He is better than Hauritz and quite often out bowls him when they play for NSW together. He has an avg of less than 30 also

the last thing austraia need right now is another spinner, through the revolving door. stick with beer for a yr or so and give him a chance

IMHO, Krejza should be given 1 more opportunity, spins the ball, has an awesome doosra & takes wicket.

Still remember his debut against India, took 8 wickets in his 1st Innings & ended up with 12 for the match.

if he's doherty's backup for tas he doesn't deserve an aus recall

 

[Berries]

If Australian batsmen had done that, the calls against them would of been immense.

 

[Berries]

Because you can compare an Indian wicket to an Australian flat tarmac

 

[Hansta]

he got an 8 for but for how many runs? it was 200 and something lol at an ODI run rate lol

 

[S4Sonny]

8/215 is still better than 0/100

He's an aggressive bowler, expensive, but he takes wicket.

5/100 off 15 overs much better than 0/100 off 30.


And the only reason why he was dropped was due to injury, he injured his ankle & was replaced by Hauritz.

Yes but they are some of his best figures.

that is true, but on a pitch not offering much spin it wont be 5/100 off 15. It will be 0/150 off 15 lol.

To get spanked around on a pitch offering so much assistance is not spot on lol.

 

[S4Sonny]

What are Swann's scorecard for this current Ashes series?

I wanna have a look, see how playable the pitches are for an off-spinner.

 

[Shanked]

http://www.cricketmove.com/cricket/tour/109/the-ashes-2010-11/4/250/gp-swann/PlayerStats.html

not bad since he hasn't gotten to bowl much on day 4/5 turning pitches

 

[Hansta]

5 Tests, 14 wickets so far at an avg of 37 and a SR of 81, econ of under 3

Im sure he would like more wickets than that, but he has taken big wickets and has done his jobing by frustrating our batter by drying the runs up

 

[S4Sonny]

Interesting.

Swann has a different grip on the ball than most Off Spinners.

BREAKING NEWS: Paul Collingwood has just retired from tests.

Good on him for forcing it, before being tapped on the shoulder.

 

[Shanked]

yeah was prob gonna get dropped for the next series. pitty he didn't get a big score but he did get out hussey

couple of names being floated around which most you wouldn't heard of but i suppose the most logical replacement will be morgen

for sure Eoin Morgan deserves a go, although i don't think he is up to test standard yet. But if they dont put pressure on him and just let him bat at 6 then he will come along nicely.

aha Rod lol
