View Full Version : Who do you wish was Australian right now?

All this talk i've recently heard about Australia missing a genuine spinner for the Ashes and beyond and now we hear of a lack of batting reliablity and fast bowling options issues (which I highly doubt). The question I pose is who (Internationally speaking) would Australia require to if not dominate again but at least consistantly win series'. I am only talking about one player that you could pick. Who could make the difference in any department.

The obvious candidates would be someone like a MS Dhoni ie wicketkeeper/(aggressive) batsman with leadership skills.

Dale Stein - gun fast bowler

My personal vote goes to Ajantha Mendis a leggie from Sri Lanka who is 24 played 8 matches taken 39 wickets at around 25.

It's a silly question (maybe not since these 3 players could be the model for our young cricketers to aspire to) but who would you make Aussie if you could?:)

Mendis, Shakib Al Hasan or Piyush Chawla.

Well obviously we can't poach them i'm talking more fantasy mate and players you admire on a world scale. My thing is i wish these guys were born as Australians more than let one country develop them and then we get em

Oh dear, a hack (and an arrogant wanker as well) to replace one of the greatest batsmen ever:o

Lol at Bopara over punter... :thumbsu:

As much as I dont like the Indian Cricket team... Ghambir and Sharma are a couple of gun young players...

Vettori... great spinner...handy with the bat..

Steyn, Morkel

Dont want an off spinner, simply put they dont perform in Australian conditions, Murali has been smacked around here. Although Mendis could be handy

I think I sense a hint of sarcasm, correct me if I'm wrong TorresIsGod :p

We're good at claiming Kiwi's as our own, so lets draft in Vettori to fill that spinner void.
