Bevan

[Port01]

Loved his work so far this World cup. Best I have seen him play in years.

The darling of the dressing room.

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

He has been a pleasure to watch this World Cup.
Should get us home off his own bat.

 

[GoEagles]

I reckon Bevan should help Bichel out with the 12th man duties. Problem with Bevan is, he can't bowl these days and definately isn't suited to an opening role or in the top 4.

 

[DaveW]

He'll bat first drop against Namibia I reckon.

What's with the Bevan bashing. Bevan is a shoe in for our side, and will be for years to come. It doesn't matter if half of you don't agree with me, the selectors do and that's all that matters.

be careful... we dont know if he'll be the victim of "anti-bevan hysteria". that could change the selectors POV.

they might like him at the moment but that means nothing when it comes to selection. All it takes is a dummy spit or too and your international career is over. Just ask Stuart MacGill cause his is.

I agree with you Kenny... Michael Bevan is a player who consistantly performs when the team is under pressure, either by pacing the innings or guiding the team home to victory in a run chase.

I would have him in my best team anyday!!

We were fortunate that he didn't play agaist Pakistan instead of Symonds.

If Bev had of come in at 4/86 we would have been lucky to get 220 and would have lost.

Ummm, they both have different roles?

Normally, Symonds would have got out and we would have scored 150. Bevan would have atleast steered us to 220 more often than not.

Anyway, they are both in the current squad so it doesn't matter.

He's the new Scott Muller of the Australian team.He can't bat and can't bowl [because he hasn't had a chance ]

 

[dr nick]

i liked one i saw in the SMH.


can't bowl, cant throw..... for 12 months.

Good prediction! Still, it was bleeding obvious Ponting wanted Bevan to have a bat against Namibia and when Gilchrist went out early it was a good a time as any.

Michael Bevan makes 74 not out under extreme pressure to guide Australia to victory against England, I rest my case.

And my case too

 

[noodle]

well done bev. he went into today a played the kind of innings that allot of people have been criticising.

 

[EagleBlue]

That innings against Namibia must have done him the world of good

Nasser, I wonder how many scars there are now !!!!!
And BTW great decision to bowl the 49th over with Anderson instead of Caddick. Did I miss something ???? Was Caddick injured or did Nasser have another "Brisbane Brain Meltdown"

What about Bichel's innings?

If Bevan wasn't so slow to get going Australia would never have been in the situation they were. He gets us into the situation, Bichel gets us out, but Bevan's the hero, I just don't get it.

That is a pathetic post, u r saying if it wasn't for Bevan we would of won consistenly? Bichels knock was great but Bevans knock was one of the most controlled and settled knocks u can expect from a batsman. Not once did the run rate get out of control, the highest it became was 7 an over at the start of the 49th over, the pitch was shocking late in the afternoon and the ball was cutting away hugely making batting conditions extremely difficult.

Consistenly???? WTF?

If the pitch was so bad then how did Bichel make 34 of just 36 balls?

Maybe because Bichel is a good batsman, one minute u quote him as having a great innings then u critiscize his batting questioning how he made 34 off 36 balls.

????????

You cannot possibly persist in critising Bevan and expect to have any credibility. you are just trying to save face. He is a legend and a hero and rest assured without him we would have lost today. end of argument

OMG? Hello anyone home?

So Bevan is a bad batsman then because he scored 74 off 126? Going on your logic then he is because Bic scored 34 off 36.

Since when did I question Bichel's batting? You said the pitch was a shocker, saying it was tough to bat on. I then questioned that theory by asking how Bichel could make 34 off 36 if the pitch was so bad.

You are confusing yourself, I think it's time you went to bed.

Am I asking for credibility? It's a free world, if people don't like my opinions then fine, you can't expect everyone to agree with you.

All I said was that people go ga-ga when Bevan is still in when we win and that he was getting most of the plaudits when Andrew Bichel deserves just as much praise.

Take your hand off it. I only praised Bevan and never bagged Bevan, if u read your post u will see that u questioned how did Bichel make 34 off 36 if the pitch was bad, i only replied by saying he is a good batsman. Stop twisting things to make ur pathetic posts arguable. The only way i am confusing myself is replying to the **** that comes out of your mouth.
