Agar for Holland is a no brainer.
M Marsh is VC, no way they are dropping him.
S Marsh has enough recent runs to hold his spot.
Siddle should be left out.

So should yourself, your knowledge of cricket is as bad as your footy knowledge.

[bedford]

All good , actually did you ever play Aussie rules?

 

[Number37]

Nah, you're the only one that has ever played Aussie Rules.

 

[bedford]

No doubt I did and would back my footy and crickets smarts over you any day old mate. Anyhow that's enough for now, i'll be back after we beat the ground kissers.

The gnome would prefer Agar to Holland. But Holland takes wickets, whereas Agar balls are sent to the pickets.

Siddle bowled well in T2.

Mitch 'the mug' was made vc to prevent the nong being dropped. The duffers are selected for reasons more to do with nepotism and that Oz cricket is run by a cabal of dolts.

 

[Number37]

You cannot be serious B52.

Mitch M contributes as much as Siddle, 2 thirds of nada.
Holland is a pie chucker.

Bring Renshaw in and bat him at 3, Head at 4, S Marsh at 5 and M Marsh at 6.

So your idea is to leave out Siddle who was our best quick? I'm not a Siddle fan but he's not being dropped...and why we need yet another left arm finger spinner is beyond me. Exactly how many off spinners do we need in 1 side?

Unfortunately the Marsh duds won't be dropped.

When the opposition goes into the game to block their way to 500 in 3 days, he is just the type of bowler that they would love to face. Does nothing with the ball and bowls half rat power throw downs.

Are you Bedford's son? You come up with the same nonsensical analysis.

You've insulted me one time too many ! by the way when did you become a cricket expert , I presume you didn't play that as well.

If any quick deserves to be dropped after that test, it isn't Siddle. Starc bowled absolute utter trash. Line and length gets wickets over there, Abbas for Pakistan does that as well.

I was so jelly of your fabulous reserve grade Aussie Rules career, now I'm even more jelly of your second XI cricket career.
If telling people they're posting in the wrong thread on an internet forum was a sport you might make it to the top level in something.
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him Horatio.

Yes, drop Starc and keep Siddle.

Thanks Bedford Jnr.

Cupboard seems a bit bare

I think we can comfortably move on from Siddle though

Hazelwood should be fit for tests at home.

Cummins?

I think Siddle is a honest toiler has done well with his career and will bowl all day, but he is not threatening anymore, just let him bowl for Victoria

Given his injury history they're wisely giving him a bit more time than Hazelwood.

 

[The King!]

I used to know every cricketer in every state squad, just lost the passion for the sport, become a joke the way its done and the teams a load of crap

 

[Number37]

Geez that would take some doing these days. There'd be like 80 players in each state squad nowadays.
The 80th player is the dude whose only job is to field at backward square in the 14th over of a T20.

 

[The King!]

Not sure how much brain space I wasted knowing players of the ilk of Mick Farrell, Geoff Foley, Scott Prestwidge, Ian Wrigglesworth, Stuart Hezberg etc

 

[bedford]

Some gems there , didn't Wrigglesworth come from Carlton

No idea, didnt know that much

Mick Farrell used to live over the road from me when he first got near the Tassie team, was surprised because i was like 8 and he wasnt much chop in street cricket.

You would do well in that obscure cricketers thread on the Cricket board.

 

[bedford]

The Vics keeper is not much chop , Sam Harper is much better. Have you seen the grass on the test strip , although the grass kissers will remove it.
