Yeah it's more Winter not McDermott who has helped the Hilf. It was pretty interesting to read the article from Winter who suggested that Hilfenhaus should be rested at Adelaide if the series isn't on the line as he's not particularly suited to Adelaide conditions.

Tbf no fast bowlers actually suit Adelaide conditions.

 

[Burgey]

Oooh. Good shout that.

 

[adub]

It's his first over ffs. Give him a go.

That's better.

 

[Spikey]

Starceh was robbed

 

[Sylvester]

There we go stay there Mitch.

 

[Jayzamann]

Wow that was umpires call? Insane movement.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Love a left arm quickie getting some nice inswing. Best sight in the game.

 

[Spikey]

Watched him in the Shield a couple of times and he had changed his run up and tried to use the crease more, was also a little quicker - but the areas he was bowling were still pretty poor and generally unthreatening. Same with Pattinson really. I think McDermott, more than any technical changes, is helping our bowlers understand bowling more and have better plans, which was always my biggest criticism of Hilfenhaus.

And like that was the whole point of the rant. I saw nothing, in both seeing him play and his results, to suggest he would, well do this.

 

[Spark]

Christ if he gets that delivery right...

 

[Jacknife]

Looked very close, maybe going down leg.

Reminded me of Mitch from the Ashes here.

 

[hazsa19]

Looks like we've found ourselves a not-outer

 

[Ruckus]

Christ if he gets that delivery right...

Yeah it's close to the Johnson go-to ball in the Ashes.

 

[Burgey]

P Siddy time. Pitch it up pleeeeeze

 

[thierry henry]

Terrific decision by Dharmasena. Looked plumb live but there was significant seam movement there as well as the swing.

 

[Spark]

Wow Dravid looks bad. Absolutely horrible.

 

[Burgey]

Moody on the radio. "He's a real 110%er is Siddle"

 

[Ruckus]

I can't believe Gambhir is on 20 already, how did that happen?

 

[adub]

Looked very close, maybe going down leg.

Reminded me of Mitch from the Ashes here.

Very much so. Just needed to be a bit fuller.

 

[Jacknife]

Ugly from Dravid, if he gets a score here it will be a miracle.

Agree with this

If you look at Starc, kid has got all the tools (pace, bounce, swing, etc) but doesnt really know "how" to bowl yet
