Zimbabwe 'A' v Australia 'A' v South Africa 'A'

[Noble One]

Starc with the first wicket. It would be nice to see if he is capable of running through a lineup.

 

[Nate]

You better earn this new ball Siddle.

 

[Spikey]

fat ****ing chance

 

[Ruckus]

Why isn't Copeland ever getting the new ball? What the feck is going on?

 

[aussie tragic]

wow, Starc 2 for 8 off 6 overs while Test man Siddle has 0 for 22 off his 6

peter siddle top order wicket count:




0

 

[BlazeDragon]

What the hell Khawaja, Marsh

Except he has failed through the entire series and was actually in the running for Sri Lanka.

 

[BlazeDragon]

What about Ferguson at six?

I would rather he get the spot over Khawaja now. Though if it were up to me I would give Shaun Marsh a try as well. I would prefer if Hussey stays at six and either Marsh or Ferguson gets the #5 spot.

 

[Sylvester]

Copeland still gets the job done, his figures could have been so much better if he got the new ball. Nicely done by Starc, just needs to stay injury free and have a good season for NSW. Less said about Siddle the better.

 

[Nate]

Spare me.

Top order wickets (1-6):
Krezja 4
Copeland 4
Marsh 4
Starc 3
Butterworth 2
Beer 2
Siddle 1

Tail end wickets (7-11):
Siddle 7
Beer 2
Copeland 2
Hilfenhaus 1

Siddle gets the new ball, does stuff all with it and then when we're into the tail "hey Pete warm up' and gets the second new ball to get some cheap wickets. I know someone has to take the tail end wickets too, but you don't pick a quick just on the fact he can get tail enders.

 

[Sylvester]

So between the two guys that were in our last Test starting lineup they have 1 top order wicket in 4 innings against Zimbabwe!

Its so fail it hurts. Watching England bowl hurts too, they are good. Bowlers mostly bowl it in the right areas and look to have plans against each batsman, we just look to play the same bowlers every game for 5 years and hope they eventually come good.

And the ironic thing about that is Hauritz and Dougeh usually do a pretty good job at the tail anyway

can't believe Krezja has 4 top order wickets...if only we could count up the runs conceded to top order batsmen!

 

[Spikey]

also iirc siddle's solo top 6 wicket was a night-watchman so.


but anyway this has been a fun tour. just a shame some results will be listened to (warner, marsh) and some won't (siddle, hilf, maybe usman)

It gets even better.

The one "top order" wicket that Siddle has taken is the great Ray Price. 35 year old left arm orthodox spinner with a test batting average of 9.73 and first class batting average of 17.16! Test batsmen all around the world must be soiling their whites at the thought of facing us.

 

[Spikey]

siddle opened to start with today and well you can guess what happened.

 

[Nate]

Four bowlers have bowled today. Copeland wasn't one of them...

 

[Spikey]

Hahahahaha how on earth has Krejza already jumped up to 4:00 per over?! he was like 4 overs for 3 last night
