has Copeland been caught rooting Katich's (or whoever is Captaining out there) missus?

EDIT: But for serious - imo, it's a gamble to open with a spin bowler, and it hasn't payed off here at all. Almost completely regardless of the wicket, the best time for a paceman to bowl is with the new ball, but spinners can be used (and maybe even excel) with the older one. [/statetheobvious] Now we lose that advantage, and find ourselves with no wickets and 100+ runs down.

I'm not against it very rarely, but it's a risk, and it shouldn't have happened today. I would be fuming if I was Copeland, or even Hazlewood.

If you don't open with a spinner when you need to bowl the opposition out cheaply and quickly, on a slow wicket, when your spin bowler bowled well in the first innings from all reports, when do you open with one??

Does the fact that Lalor didn't take a wicket prove that they should've opened with spin at both ends? Ofcourse not, in the same way that Hauritz not getting a wicket doesn't prove that pace should have been used from both ends.

And regarding best time to bowl, a bowler like Hauritz would enjoy bowling with a new ball, as it provides more bounce than an old ball.

Wonder what you would have said if Copeland opened at one end and if O'Keefe was playing and opened at the other...

**** me Hazlewood is getting annhilated out there.

 

[Burgey]

Zip it.

 

[adub]

Is this some tactic I wasn't previously aware of where you deliberately concede 5 rpo to ensure your opposition can not just set a target you can't possibly chase down, but also leave themselves more than enough time to bowl you out?

Congrat to Cazzulino. Sydney Grade providing for so many states.

It would definitely be a strange kind of orgasm, I'll give you that.

Does Cosgrove bowl offies now?

 

[Kylez]

Hahahaha check the edit. ffs too slow.


btw for this nsw U17 team 'D SINGH' took a 7 on grade debut (or maybe 6) so he's probably one to look out for. never seen him bowl obv.

His name is Daya Singh and I'm pretty sure he is still only 16. A couple of my mates played against him in representative cricket a year or two ago. They told me that Singh was the fastest bowler they have ever faced. I also regularly speak to a bloke who plays 4th/5th grade for Sutherland and he also commented on Singh, saying that he was "****ing lightening".

Apparently he bowls with a turban on as well.

 

[Spikey]

is he good at cleaning up the tail. it's getting to the stage where I'm willing to play a bowler whose sole task is to do that

[Burgey]

Finally a genuinely fast bowler of Indian extraction and he's Australian.

Love it.

 

[Spikey]

i say debut him against india for the lulz

 

[Prince EWS]

India will probably call him up themselves once Zaheer goes down.

 

[Spikey]

ATTN NSW:

Doherty is ****. jesus christ guys

 

[Spikey]

maddinson,

 

[Spikey]

decent enough session in the end. these 2 will have to add plenty more but once these two get in they usually put up a good score.

 

[Spikey]

safe to say the play the injured Henriques plan didn't work out

 

[Nate]

Yeah, no Patterson looking even more stupid now (if possible).
