MacGill or Hogg?

[TheMase]

Who would you choose as the number one spinner for the WI tour?

 

[TheMase]

I would take MacGill.

Superior test record and First Class Record.

Bowling pretty well at the moment aswell.


Hogg has a very poor first class record and is not a front line bowler like MacGill.

 

[St-KriS]

I suppose you go with the proven test bowler i.e. MacGill...but is there any chance of the both of them playing at the same time? I know Windies pitches traditionally have been a fast bowler's paradise, but I've heard arent as good as they used to be, so is there any chance?

 

[Jars458]

This poll is an insult

Its like saying beer or water

Hogg is a hack as first class bowler

How Hauritz didn't get the nod is beyond me

I guess with Hogg there is always the chance because he is handy with the bat too.

But as you said, I think you have to go with the proven test bowler.

It will be an interesting series for MacGill, will make or break his international career. He has been told to improve his attitude with the team if he wishes to play International Cricket again.

Lets see how he goes....

Batting - Hogg
Bowling - MacGill
Fielding - Hogg

HOWEVER, if they are picked to be a bowler, then pick the better bowler...Stuart MacGill will play the tests.

Stuart MacGill will be the number one spinner until the World's best ever leg-spinner, Shane Warne makes his comeback next February.

 

[Desredandwhite]

MacGill for mine. IMHO you should always take the better bowler. If their bowling abilites are very close, THEN use fielding/batting expertise as a tie-breaker

That's a touch ironic.

 

[dogboy23]

Dont rate Hauritz at all at this stage.Very straight up and down IMO.Hogg has improved to the point where he looks like he would cause damage in the longer version.Mcgill gets the nod I suppose but I shudder at the thought of him and Lee bowling in tandem giving away 6 an over each at both ends.

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

I don't mind Hogg actually.

And as Hoggy points out, he is as clean as they come.

 

[Slax]

If you give the no. 1 spot to MacGill it has to be on the previso that if he steps out of line again by opening that big mouth of his and abusing someone his international career is over as of that point.

I don't care about if he is better than Hogg or not we can't have arseholes like him representing Australia if they want to abuse everyone. This season 4 reports 2 fines 1 suspension and 1 dismissed, not a great record.

 

[raiderman00]

Yeh McGill as Hogg is S*$^

 

[harry_hawka]

I chose Hogg because I thought the Poll was choosing who you'd rather have a beer with. Stuart only drinks wine so I counted him out. Sorry, I misunderstood the question.

 

[lamby29]

Hogg

 

[bunsen burner]

MacGill

 

[Destructive]

Hogg.

 

[BT]

Magilla

 

[Kenny_01]

Hogg.

 

[CURVE]

I'd choose Hogg because he is a better batsmen. It means we can drop Martyn or Lehmann and play with four pace bowlers and one spinner. Hogg, Bichel and Lee are all reasonable batsmen, and Gillespie is not too bad either.

 

[Unwritten_Law]

MacGill.

Goes for plenty but with our attack we can afford to give away a few runs in return for wickets.

 

[Deestroy]

MacGill, because he is a much better bowler.

I was thinking along similar lines.

As for "MacGill goes for heaps" have a look at their records.

Hogg has a worse economy rate in the long game than MacGill does.

MacGill was also the leading wicket taker at a reasonable economy rate this season.

Seems like a pretty straight forward decision to me
