Mate, I know it's late over here, but if you think Phil Hughes and Ben Hilenhaus are "proven" at test level after playing all of 4 tests before this one, then you have your head up your own arse.
I know, terrible shot aswell, threw away another Test hundred. He knew it aswell.
Yeah, though after he got out the best thing is to get off the park in those conditions - have Haddin and Johnson go nuclear tomorrow (weather permitting)
Surprised they were out there in the first place. Looked really gloomy and dark. Whenever the floodlights are on in a Test match, it's always a touch and go decision.
Ahh nice of you to be so caring, the old back does get a bit sore on the way to hundreds and fifties.
Distinct possibility IMO.
If we are to go by this match then Johnson is an absolute joke bowler who hasnt improved since his debut. Interesting revelation that because at the start of the series he was paraded around as being one of the best fast bowlers in the world.
Johnson being an absolute joke bowler doesn't say much for Andrew Strauss, Ravi Bopara or Stuart Broad.
That's why he bounced out the English captain and completely made a fool out of their number 3 batsman. Outbowled all of England's bowlers by far.
Says about as much as when Adam Sanford dismissed Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman in a test match at Sabina Park a few years ago.
Not really no. So he bowled a slower ball that Bopara didnt pick, give him a medal for being consistently rubbish other than for 2 balls in the entire game.
Well Adam Sanford didn't bowl like a joke bowler during that match. But you're accusing Johnson of having bowled like one in this match.
And you actually think he bowled well? Sorry he looked innocuous throughout and got smacked around for more than 4 runs an over for most of the game. Honestly, people on this forum have some sort of blind love to anything he does. He was the worst Australian bowler on show this game and its not really like Siddle or Hauritz bowled like champions either. With the exception of Hilfenhaus and possibly Flintoff the bowling this game has been ordinary to poor throughout.
Haa, you cant be serious. This has got to be crazyness thing i have ever heard you so yo. Since Johnson is CLEARLY a much improved bowler since his debut, even if what he did in SA was a bit exaggerated by the conditions (his swing).
Whilst I do think that Johnson is extremely overrated on these boards, I never said he hadnt improved, he clearly has. Just that the logic behind looking at 1 innings (with respect to Broad and Johnson) to come to a conclusion that someone hasnt improved is somewhat flawed.
Sorry, but I reckon that's cobblers of a high order.
