**Official** Tour Matches

Clark, Johnson and Siddle went past him some time ago.

Well, Johnson's really showing it, isn't he?

 

[Hoggy31]

Before the match? Why, because the press said so?

Because Clark, Johnson and Siddle are better bowlers and have been for a while now?

I lol'd

 

[Andre]

Nah, can't agree. Tucked Denly up with a couple of yorkers that swung late the young bloke did well to keep out. If one was watching the bowlers today with no prior knowledge I reckon you'd think Johnson was the bowler returning from injury.

Yeah, decent point about Johnson. But, realisitically, Johnson is out there to have a gallop and get some overs in before the first Test, and Lee is fighting for his career. Hence the appearances.

Clark? Sure!

 

[wpdavid]

Quite so. Chose to in fact, which was the error I was attempting to point out in my arse-about-face way.

Way too subtle for me, I'm afraid. Combination of generally being frazzled and whatever energy I did have being sapped by having to teach Year 10 at the end of the day.

 

[Top_Cat]

Lee with no no-balls would tend to indicate he's bowling within himself, yeah?

Yeah, Johnson's obviously your banker, but Lee's gone ok for me. Clark the pick of the bowlers tho.

Fair assumption I suppose but it hasn't really happened that way. His pace has been up and although he hasn't caused too many problems, he definitely seems to have been putting his all into it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

This thread makes my head hurt.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If he is, he'd be scary flat out. Been constantly over 90mph. By far the quickest bowler on display from either side.

No, I used completely the wrong terminology, nothing to do with subtly.

I blame the drugs.

Meanwhile Moore moves into the 90s with another maximum off Hauritz.

I read some reports that Harmy was scary fast. Or was that just the typical media exaggeration?

 

[tooextracool]

Really hope that they send Freddie in 1 down.

 

[social]

Jeez there's been some nonensense posted in here recently

Lee has bowled quickly and accurately on a flat deck

He should've had 1-0 and 2 for not many

The Lions are 168-0 because of a blind umpire, a keeper that cant catch and crap from Johnson and Hauritz - no blame to Lee at all

Harmy was up and around 90mph in his first spell, but slid back to mid-high 80s as day went on. Lee consistently over 90. Brett's the quicker bowler anyway tho.

TBF to Harmy it's the best I've seen him bowl in literally years tho.

AWTAs.

 

[pup11]

He is supposed to be an express, strike bowler. He's in the team exactly for conditions like these - where he is the bowler who can offer something that no one else possesses, raw pace and intimidation factor.

He ain't got it anymore.

Even when he was bowling much quicker than what he now is, he was never successful in slow and low conditions, and nothing much has changed since then, he still can bowl at good pace, and as I said before, on a bouncy deck with decent pace, he still can prove to be a handful.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lee back on and finds massive late swing straight away.

EDIT: & bowls Denly through the gate with another one that swung late and copiously. Good change from Punter, even if it was in a fit of pique!

That's exactly the thing that worries me pretty bad.

He seems in a good groove, ball seems to be coimg out ok...

There's just something kinda missing.

Brett Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
