Krejza still bowling. I'm his biggest fan but this'll prove one over too many IMO. It's still the first day of a Test - get Lee back on.

According to cricinfo Krejza averages 50.09 with first class bowling can anyone confirm this ? and if this is correct how the hell has he managed to be called up ?
He would wanna he cant let this pair get in anymore.

Not Terrible
Every spinner in FC cricket in Australia has a horrendous average. Picked on potential much like Warne once was.

Lack of options?

Yes. Thats correct.

Casson and Cullen do not average much better, though. Krejza's average was a bit better when he picked originally too - 0/199 in the tour game doesn't do wonders for your average.

So, Clark was seriously dropped? I mean... seriously?
Seriously...?

TBF he hasn't actually bowled that badly (not watching now mind you), early on despite the runs he went for, it wasn't too bad bowling, just some very good batting by Sehwag. Line and length was not rubbish, just good batting. He picked up two vital wickets, better then not getting anything?

Sunny Gavaskar continues to bull**** his way in the commentator's box.
In the off spinners last over, the fourth(or fifth) ball was bowled short, Sachin picked up the length early, moved back and across and unleashed what was a ferocious pull shot. The ball tuned and bounced and Sachin missed it completely, It hit him high on the left pad and the other commentator (Brendon I think) commented on the appeal saying it was perhaps too high.
They replay was shown and Gavaskar pipped in , "Yes. Its too high and thats because Krejza is not afraid of flighting the ball upt o the batsman which gives him extra bounce besides the spin" (or words to that effect. This comment to a ball that was so short Sachin went for a massive pull even though it was on the stumps.
It did not end with that.
The next ball was bowled even shorter but wide outside the off stump. This time Sachin went to square cut the off break (so short and wide was it). The ball turned and again bounced more than the batsman expected and Sachin had to adjust his stroke to a tap from above playing it backward of point for two.
The great Mr Gavaskar was gleeful.
"See. This is what I meant Krajza is not afraid of flighting and pitching up so he is getting additional bounce besides turn."
Its the limit. That ball was a long hop and Gavaskar continued his "parrot-like" chant of pitched up flighted balls and how they bounced.
I cant believe that he is such an idiot. I think if he wants to say something (in this case the correct though not valid in context) like higher bounce and spin coming from deliveries that are flighted rather than pushed through, And having made up his mind about what he wants to say, he just says it assuming everyone else is a complete idiot or blind (perhaps both). I wish his fellow commentators would stop giving him so much respect and put this non-sense where it deserves to be.
