Rate Dan Cullen

[dan warna]

They rate Bailey higher and rightly so. Doesn't mean Cullen's a total hack. He wont play consistent cricket for Australia, but he'll fill in occasionally.

... more like he'll fill in for the state side...occassionally.

last 2 seasons have been less than pathetic for a front line bowler

 

[just maybe]

obviously the state selectors dont rate dan cullen either...

Considering everything they have said, they do.

But he's out of form, and Bailey in form so they do the right thing.

boonie and merv have also spoken about hodge and to hodge and he's back in the OD side even though is OD form through his career has never been as good as his FC form

It's amazing that you are better at recognising talent than the Australian selectors, Shane Warne and Terry Jenner, among others.

You rate yourself pretty highly.

Jeff Thompson and Dennis Lillee thought Brett Lee would be one of our great fast bowler. We all make mistakes.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

better bowler than White

He must be awesome then

White >>>>>>>>>>> Cullen (As players)

He's a former selector.

And they're just nothing words. 'Yeh, he could get a spot[/i]'.

State selectors pick sides on form not talent alone.

Cullen is a good bowler... he has been out of sorts, struck down with injury. Most spinners find it hard at First Class level in Australia because the pitched don't really suit them as much as quicks. For a spinner an average of 30 would be deemed pretty good. Cullen averages at 40 at the moment.. probably due to the big amount of overs he bowls. He just needs to get his confidence back and keep on grinding away. I think he'll be a good domestic bowler but will never really get a good go for Australia.

 

[Coin_Toss]

What about... "Has potential but is yet to reach the heights set upon him", or something along these lines. A very good opportunity to cement his spot for Australia (now Shane Warne has retired), but he won't get anywhere on the basis of his current form, he needs to perform or he could be moved aside for his SA teammate Cullen Bailey.

Cullen's been ordinary when I've seen him bowl. Looks like a spoilt punk too. Problem is that off-spinners haven't had a history of success in this country and Murali aside are containers rather than matchwinners. Mallett was the best I saw but he was nowhere near the best leg-spinners we've produced. Was a gun gully catch though but a complete rabbit with the bat.

Murali aside are containers rather than matchwinners.

Many offies throughout history would have a few words about that.

Laker?

Saqlain?

Harbhajan?

 

[windyhill]

These days, reality says yes.

White was OK once upon a time. Now he's just embarrassing.

At least White behaves like a cricketer. Cullen looks like he is after Glen McGrath`s title as cricket`s biggest sook.

Er...what?

Er...what?

He get`s on with it, good or bad. Cullen drops his bundle as soon as something goes against him.

By 'got on with it', do you mean 'got out when the pressure is on'?

I hope so, I've seen doherty and he looks good, but seems to get wacked a lot too.

scored some big runs under pressure for victoria.

That must explain his domestic average of 30

Doherty's been around for years and done nothing.

Said in another thread, is the cricket's version of Lleyton Hewitt.

Hot headed little sook.

Soon as he starts maturing, the better he'll be for it.
