New Ashes thread

[Capper]

Next test we should stack practically the whole team with bowlers. Harris, Siddle, Agar, Lyon, Starc, Cummins, Bird, Ahmed and We'll keep Haddin to keep and also Steve Smith and Watto because they can bowl and sort of bat. Then hopefully we get them out for not many and our bowlers who are batting better than our batters will make the runs  ;D

Maybe replace Haddin with Wade, he bowled an over this past summer can contribute.

So you replace a WK with a bowler??

"DAVID Warner has blazed his way back into Test contention with a rapid 193 for Australia A against South Africa A in Pretoria."

"Dismissed on the last ball of the day, Warner faced just 226 deliveries, hitting 29 fours and a six batting at number four, as Australia A romped to 5-399 at stumps. Glenn Maxwell was unbeaten on 103.''

Still a worry he bats like a one day / BB innings.. :-\

Knowing the Cricket Australia, they'll probably seriously consider him. I'm fine with him coming back in to the team, just give him another test to prove this 193 wasn't just a flash in the pan.

Even my boy Maxy is making a case for selection! ;D

Ummm... Wade is a keeper last time I saw him play.

Think tabs was making a joke about Wade being a bowler because he bowled an over this past summer. :P

Not a massive fan of the old blokes coming back but would love to see Maxy Klinger have a run, good head on his shoulders and should handle it well.

Why hasn't Bollinger had a test run in a few years? Bowled mid-20s which was very nice.

Because he's an even bigger flog than Watto.  :P

Take it back! :P

Test bowling averages
Bollinger: 25.93
Pattinson: 26.42
Siddle: 28.58

Bollinger should get a call-up anyway, Straya have basically already lost this ashes so might as well give him a run.

Also while we're on averages,
Agar: 124
lolololololol

Oh no....... Ed Cowan will captain us in our match against Sussex :o he cant even bat let alone captain a side!

[PowerBug]

Australia's 120th wicket partnership averages 45 THIS YEAR!!! So it was no just a one off, this has been happening all year! A 10th wicket partnership averaging 45, un heard of. Now it'd be ok if their other wickets were averaging more, but NO THEY AREN'T, Australia's 10th wicket partnership is the highest averaging wicket this year! 2nd is the opening pair which average 38. That is a disgusting stat to have.


It's also quite demanding when Nick Compton's 43 batting average is considered to be hindering rather that helping his chances of getting back in the England side. James Taylor set to come in for KP should he miss, averages a lazy 58.8 this season in county cricket.

[its me lads]

Let's be honest. I'll give him another test before completely bagging him but Agar is not very good. Bowls either half track pies or just down leg.
