**Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

[Noble One]

I wish Raina played just one Test this summer.

 

[howardj]

Good lord, hope SL can breathe some life into this thing

Could be a hell of a long February otherwise

 

[Prince EWS]

The argument his Ryobi Cup form wasn't good is a fair call, however anyone who watched him bowl could comfortably see he was doing ok.

Is there really anything more potentially misleading in cricket than bowling statistics based a small sample of one day matches over a short period a couple of months ago? It has all the ingredients of meaning **** all.

Whether or not his last three or four games a couple of months ago produced effective results, McKay is pretty decent at one day cricket. Like Dave Hussey.

1. suresh raina batting
2. short ball
3. ????
4. Profit.

 

[Spikey]

And Clint McKay has done **** all this year. Just fortunate we've got a gooch load of injuries.

taste it bitch

 

[Shri]

oh dear, how am i ever going to recover.

You don't.

 

[Ruckus]

Have no problem with him in ODIs

He looked out of his depth in that Test he played however

You can't judge a man on one test though, that's ridiculous.

 

[Noble One]

You can't judge a man on one test though, that's ridiculous.

To be fair I don't believe McKay ever had the potential to be a great Test bowler.

 

[Spikey]

this is all set up for doherty to take 4 wickets through arm ball yorkers. ffs.

 

[howardj]

Given his age when he played (he wasn't a greenhorn kid) plus his moderate FC record, yes I was in a position to judge

Should use him as a death bowler.

wasn't his average like 25 at the time. after like 30 games.



hell it's like 25 now

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Doesn't everyone wear ankle socks nowadays?

 

[howardj]

wasn't his average like 25 at the time. after like 30 games.

nah

 

[benchmark00]

Indeed.

Haha yeah it was; he had a great (albeit short-term-ish) record.

At the time of his selection, McKay would have been one of the few pace bowlers to average in the 20's. Deserved his shot at the time, and he remains a nice backup to have in almost a third choice bowling unit.

 

[howardj]

Oh ok, so we all agree that McKay's a bluechip Test player

 

[morgieb]

Is Spikey tasting it?

 

[Prince EWS]

Oh ok, so we all agree that McKay's a bluechip Test player

Nah; if he plays another Test we have serious issues. But his FC record at the time was fine.
