If Patterson gets caught like he should have, I’m not sure we even make 100

God looking at this England batting line up, none of the England batsmen including Root who's been out of form have the temperament for test level and the skill to handle gun bowling attacks. .

Got to pull your up here. Root is out of form you say?
He is the number 1 ranked batsman in the world with roughly 1450 runs in the calendar year from 13 matches at better than 65 average.

See yourself out.

Would David be best XI?

He's developing into a dangerous hitter, still relatively young too

Also depends how many others there are available

 

[DanWCE]

Wouldn't mind Kelly coming in for TK

 

[Dazzler9]

Chris Gayle and Herschelle Gibbs

 

[happy_eagle]

Anyone want to take a stab at a best XI made of former Scorchers? Can expand to any West Australian if needed.

If we are including the one or 2 years of the Big Bash where it was state teams

C.Gayle
H.Gibbs
J.Roy
J.Inglis (wk)
M.Hussey
M.Marsh
P.Collingwood/L.Livingstone
P.Cummins
M.Johnson
M.Morkel
B.Hogg

(obviously not based on their output for the Scorchers)

 

[Truckosaurus]

Anyone else get the feeling the Scorchers recruited Hatzoglou simply so they didn't have to face him?

 

[THE A5]

Phillipe*, Cartwright, Paris, Coulter-Nile, Whiteman, Tim David

*Never played for the Scorchers

Philippe did play for perth

 

[Ochre]

Well, they tried their best, but the Scorchers didn't lose.

 

[Truckosaurus]

The worst part of that victory is we have another game before the Australia A game wraps up and we get our players back.

 

[larrikin]

Well, they tried their best, but the Scorchers didn't lose.

Very lucky we were playing Brisbane.

 

[Agent93]

Very lucky we were playing Brisbane.

I dunno, that could have all been over in seconds if Lynn remembered how to time a shot. How often do you see him bat in T20 with an 81SR ?

 

[Agent93]

Harris demonstrating that it's harder to get out of the test side than into it.

 

[Biggie]

 

[Agent93]

He's right though.

 

[larrikin]

It's an excellent point

 

[Ochre]

They've picked Bess as the spinner in the seconds game so we'll be right.

Just need to be careful not to hit Leach and Bess out of the series too quickly. Parkinsons the one who should be playing.

Everyone get behind Labuschane to get 115 or more. Would make him the equal second fastest of all time by innings to hit 2000 test runs. You can guess behind who.

1 quicker than Hussey and 3 quicker than Lara. The only other modern players to challenge the order.

**** looking at the FC stats as only 22 tests and 40 innings Headley for the West Indies would give the top 11 of all time a shake. 164 FC innings for 9921 runs with 33 100's and an average just under 70.

Scored 1066 runs in a single tour of Australia as well.

Now you've done it I'll await his dismissal any moment now

So Hussey was the second quickest of all time? Wow, I knew he started with a bang, but that's outstanding.

Hussey is currently third. Headley is second.

 

[Dazzler9]

Hussey is currently third. Headley is second.

Oh, I see. I missed the equal second fastest.

 

[Truckosaurus]

So how much have England put on Warner to make a century?
