Ben Hilfenhaus

Perhaps Hodge shouldn't have been dropped but he was hardly great at test level. He is currently injured and thus won't take Martyn's spot.

Brad Hogg is a very good, underatted bowler who is way better than White. White's batting has improved since his season for Sommerset but it is not currently good enought to get into the Australian ODI side. His bowling is not good enough to replace Hogg

Im not sayin he should take Hogg spot, but ther has bein plenty of series he could had a game or 2. Like over Maylasia he should of bein sent over ther with all the young players who also went over ther.
 
The reason he wont get into the Australia squad is that his a Tassie. Like the selectors dont like us Victorians and the Tassies. They dont like to look down south our way

Apart from Ponting there has been no Tassie players deserving, and with two tasmanians on the selection panel, he will get a look in, And he better as well

And even he couldn't wait to live somewhere else:p
 
He really has come on this year, super talent, bowls at good pace too in mid 140's and moves ball a lot. Best of all he takes wickets, often big bags, 7/79 from 37 overs is a very very good haul. Without a doubt a future Australian player.
 
Hahahhaa so many idiots in this thread.

Hilf is a gun! He took 7 wickets against the Redbacks! Yet only last week a few of you were telling us how ******** you thought the Redbacks were and they are "pathetic"

Doesn't seem like much to get 7 wickets against such a pathetic and embarrassing side. :rolleyes:
 
Fact is fryingpan, he took the wickets.

Plenty of examples where elite bowlers have failed against crap attacks.


Plus the figures of Hilfenhaus are not an isolated result ... he took a 6-for or a 7-for against NSW last year.

The kid is a gun, as I said near the start of the thread, and will be the future of the Australian attack.

Look for him to debut in the next Ashes series in Australia.

The redbacks are pathetic, but 7 wickets is 7 wickets. He's a top bowler.
 
Great to see another young quick coming alone

A few years ago there were worries about the lack of good bowlers in the Pura Cup

With the likes of Tait, Johnson and now Hilfenhaus (With some reservations as he needs to put together a couple of good seasons).

It seems our fast bowling stocks are in good hands going forward

Will change in the future, i expect Paine and the House will make up part of the test side for a long time to come in the future, along with SA have the best up and coming players in Australia, with WA and NSW really non-existant in the department, apart from Henriques.

"The House"? Never heard that one before. At school we used to call him "The Horse" or "Filthy Hilfy", but never "The House". :p
 
Yes he married a girl from NSW ..he still comes home every chance he can ...he's sooo lucky he didn't hook up with a feral from SA ;)

Ah, another homebody who has never ventured south.

The women in Adelaide are divine. Best ratio of hot:mediocre in Australia. Sh*ts on Melbourne and Sydney.

Yeah then he would have to live in the two biggest dives, Tassie and SA:thumbsu:

Do you read over your posts before you submit them?
 
Bowling with devilish swing at the moment against WA. 4/40 off 12 (although that is a delayed figure because it is from the CA scoreboard.

After Tassie good start to the season, i was hoping for the Pura shield. am pretty resigned to the fact that this will not happen... the Hilf will be taken away from us...Guarenteed
