Predict Rogers' & Taits performance in the third test

[DeadlyAkkuret]

This thread is just meant to be a bit of fun, to see who can come closest to predicting Tait's bowling figures, or Roger's run tally in the Perth test match.

Since it's my idea, I should kick it off.

First Innings

Rogers 71
Tait 3/87

Second Innings

Rogers 24 n/o
Tait 3/62

[YOTC]

Rogers 401*
Tait 10/32

Second Innings

Tait 10/31

[wce_all_da_way]

^Have to agree. Almost certain to have figures around that.

[OzBomber]

Rogers 1
Tait 4/71

2nd inns

Tait 2/90

[dynamite_kid]

Rogers 401*
Tait 10/32

Second Innings

Tait 10/31

Close,

Rogers 502*

He'll get the first class high score.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Rogers 1
Tait 4/71

2nd inns

Tait 2/90

Lol, Ouch!

[dobbo_18]

Tait 4/69 and 3/73. Rogers 74 and 38.

[JUBJUB]

Rogers
1st Inns 30-40
2nd Inns Rogers 5*

Tait
1st Inns 2/150
2nd 1/75

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Tait
1st Inns 2/150
2nd 1/75

That would be funny, if only to see the reaction of the Tait fan-boys. In all seriousness, though, I hope he has a great game!

[Mancey]

Rogers 23 and 45

Tait 2/55 and 3/60

[apollo_creed]

Rogers
1st Inns 30-40
2nd Inns Rogers 5*

Tait
1st Inns 2/150
2nd 1/75
haha, India won't even score 150 in their first innings.

[Furn]

Rogers 11,3

Tait 18-1-113-1
and 9-0-60-0

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Rogers' first innings
67

Tait's first innings
3-41

Tait's second innings
2-36

If Rogers' has to bat again which I don't think so
21 no

[lifelike_]

Rogers - 43

Tait - 3/29 & 2/63

[Slamin]

Tait 1st dig...3 Indians in hospital with fractures and a couple of wickets.

Rogers 34


Game called off by the Indians because Billy Bowden gave one of their untouchable princes out LBW...and as has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt the Indians cant take an umpires decision. :D

[ECHUCABOY]

Rogers 121

Tait 2-85 & 5-55

[TheBushranger]

Rogers 13 and 23

Tait 4/64 and 6/66

[SBI]

Rogers 12 and 53
Tait 2-86 and 3-57

[loopy_cam]

Rogers - 7, 23

Tait - 2/45, 2/29

[DIG]

Rogers - 80, 0

Tait - 4/23 1/80

[Dez!]

Rogers - 80, 0

I think that would be good for Rogers if that were to happen, experiences what it's like to succeed at the highest level but also to fail. I'd say it'd help him in the future and would lift a massive burden off his shoulders.

[bradism]

Rogers 19, 0
Tait 3/85, 11/59

You heard me.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Rogers 19, 0
Tait 3/85, 11/59

You heard me.

Explain.

[Metallica_Man]

Explain.
Umpires will be out to bat for the Indians in this game.

Rogers
37, 54

Tait
3/78, 4/62

[bradism]

Explain.

Tait will be on such a streak that after bowling all of india out in the 3rd innings he will accidentally take out Rogers at the start of the 4th. :p

[Cousin Jed]

Rogers 0 - only bat

Tait 2/39 (20 wides and no balls) & 1/34

[Bomberland06]

Rogers

1st inn 44
2nd inn 58

tait

1st inn 2/68
2nd inn 4/44

[davey_magik]

That would be funny, if only to see the reaction of the Tait fan-boys. In all seriousness, though, I hope he has a great game!

We would simply say if Brett Lee was allowed so many chances before he came good then Tait should be allowed the same thing.

Rogers: 17 and 25
Tait: 3/60 and 4/46

[wce4premiership]

Rogers 63 & 102

Tait 2/69 & 4/100

[Stakerz]

omg **** Rogers what has he done???

and he wears glasses.

I HATE HIM!!

btw I hope he makes ducks both innings.

[YOTC]

Delisted.

[RichosGuns]

India Bat first - all out for 141

Tait 2/62

As India are bowled out late with just 5 balls to remain in the day, Ponting decides to just send in Lee and Clarke as night watchmen. Australia go onto make 0/326 dec

In Indias second Innings they are all out for 84, meaning Australia win by an Innings and 180 odd runs

Tait 3/29

Chris Rogers DNB

:D

[DeadlyAkkuret]

We would simply say if Brett Lee was allowed so many chances before he came good then Tait should be allowed the same thing.

Rogers: 17 and 25
Tait: 3/60 and 4/46

And I'd simply laugh at you comparing the two.

[hawk-boy]

rogers
115
56

tait
3/ 70
5/45

[hawk-boy]

maybe be top of the run scorers last yr and won cricketer of the year i dunno is that enough for you

[davey_magik]

And I'd simply laugh at you comparing the two.

Good to see you're not denying Lee had a ridiculous amount of chances at Test level before he (Finally) lived up to expectation.

[PAFCsince1870]

Good to see you're not denying Lee had a ridiculous amount of chances at Test level before he (Finally) lived up to expectation.

agreed :thumbsu:

FWIW, Tait 1st innings 8/15, 2nd innings 9/21

Rogers.. who cares, will be dropped as soon as Hayden is fit, even if he makes 500.

[Mancey]

Please go away.

[mattf83]

Rogers 4/15 & 3/28

Tait 128* & DNB

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Good to see you're not denying Lee had a ridiculous amount of chances at Test level before he (Finally) lived up to expectation.

I don't agree with you. Lee, without being sensational, hasn't been a bad bowler and has always deserved his place in the Australian test side. There was really only 2 years that caused his average to balloon out, plus a serious injury.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

agreed :thumbsu:

FWIW, Tait 1st innings 8/15, 2nd innings 9/21

Rogers.. who cares, will be dropped as soon as Hayden is fit, even if he makes 500.

Well there's a huge suprise.

[Stakerz]

Please go away.Hussey was a better option.

Or is it because he's playing for Victoria?

[Mancey]

Hussey was a better option.

Or is it because he's playing for Victoria?

Personally wouldn't have been fussed if either Hussey or Rogers was picked.

It was more of a comment about a petulant, childish post

:D:thumbsu:

[Stakerz]

[Mancey]

What has Rogers done?

Is that a trick question, or do you honestly know nothing about him?

8500 first class runs at nearly 48, 22 centuries, including a double century against the touring aussies in ashes 05 and a highest score of 319.

Yeah...done nothin

[TheColeTrain]

What has Rogers done?
More then D Hussey, plus he is an opener, so like for a like, why reshuffle the order and move M Hussey to open when he is dominating at 4:rolleyes:

[tin can sam]

Rogers. 48, 68

Tait. 0/147, 1/218

[Furn]

Rogers 11,3

Tait 18-1-113-1
and 9-0-60-0

SO do i win ? :D

what was i thinking saying Tait was gonna take one wicket

[tin can sam]

I did something similar, I had him getting 1 in the second innings, not smart.

[GoSydneySwans]

He definitely hasn't always deserved his spot in the side. He deserves it now, but don't pretend that he hasn't had an extremely favourable run with the selectors. He actually has been a bad bowler.

Yeah...done nothinWouldn't think so.

[rocker_oz33]

l don't think the aussie side can carry a bowler like tait yes he had a bad game and he will get another crack at it,but with no warne and mc Garth any more the bowling is not as strong and s Clark is a good pick up and lee is standing to step up but you cant expect these 2 to get all the wickets l dont think they can carry a bowler but they could carry a batsman
