Clark'e such a great ODI cricket. Often overshadowed by Gilly, Hussey and Ponting, but he's right up there.

What a ridiculous jinx.

 

[Fiery]

Jono. Clarke gone. Boy England needed that to have any chance. If they can get 2 more quick ones than will have a serious show of upsetting the dingos. Keep make those predictions Jono

 

[Craig]

What a ridiculous jinx.

So no praise for White then?

 

[PY]

I'd prefer it if he aimed it at Hussey!

 

[GIMH]

Can we win this??

 

[wpdavid]

Trimblett would be the tallest current international cricketer wouldn't he? Just to settle an argument

Oram maybe?

If you don't count Brett Dorey as he hasn't played in 9 months or so, I think Tremlett is the biggest.

 

[Craig]

Oram maybe?

Well Oram used to keep goal for New Zealand under-age football/soccer teams. Peter Fulton looks huge.

 

[GIMH]

Is Lewis bowling well here, or has he been lucky?

I still can't work out why we never took him the CT, he was the man in form.

Looks like he has bowled well, but then I don't know much compared to the rest of the better judges on here.

I think he's been lucky to bag four wickets, but he's bowled OK. Anderson probably thinks there's not a lot of justice wicketswise, but there you go. And yes, Lewis should def have played in the CT.

 

[Craig]

Potential Griegy here, but if Hussey goes soon then England win.

 

[Smudge]

Oram is 6'7. I heard Tremlett is 6'8.

 

[Fiery]

Oram maybe?

Oram is 198cm or 6ft 6. Trimblett is 6ft 7 according to Cricinfo. Fulton's nickname is 2 metre Peter so he might be close

Hasn't bowled heaps of unplayable deliveries or anything, and most of his wickets bar Symonds came from nothing, but he's certainly bowled perfectly well. If you bowl accurately you'll get rewards eventually. Should be the first specialist bowler on the teamsheet for ODIs, at the moment.

 

[GIMH]

cricinfo says he's 6'7

 

[Craig]

Perhaps Nixon should stand back.

Agreed. Hopefully he shall go to the WC, and perform well enough to rid himself of the reputation he has as a bowler who will only be successful on rainy days in April in England.

 

[Jono]

Australia going at 1.06, from my experience thats extremely short in a situation like this. It'd normally be 1.20-1.25.

I guess the bookies have no faith in England, or an extremely huge amount of faith in Australia.

 

[PY]

Nah Oram is 198cm or 6ft 5. Trimblett is 6ft 7 according to Cricinfo

Isn't 6'5" more like 192cm? Think they must be about same size.

Didn't realise Oram was that tall to be honest!
