Australia's test side for the Ashes in Australia

[Burgey]

Quite right too.

One good thing about the Bailey/ Doolan selection conundrum is at least no one is talking about Khawaja. FMD if he gets a game this series I'll be filthy. Learn to drive, ****.

Yeah and Hughes too.

Time for a NUFACT

1 Australian squad member has scored twin 50's in a Test match in 2013 - Peter Siddle.

 

[andyc]

Including scores of 100+?

See it yourself ****.

I did, when I wrote it ****.

 

[NUFAN]

Yep. No one else from the squad has managed 50 or above in both innings of a Test match in 2013. Moises Henriques on debut did but he isn't in the squad obvs.

Remember when Phil Hughes did it against the best bowling attack in the world?

Poor substitute for the real thing.

 

[Burgey]

Can genuinely say my 11 year old has a better technique on the drive than Usman Khawaja.

 

[Burgey]

**** makes 30 on debut and blokes blow loads over him. ****s me, that. Why Australian cricket is ****.

Probably also why he thought he didn't have to do his home work.

Hero.

Hero.

Your worship is appreciated but unnecessary

Stat of the Day (for tomorrow)

Nathan Lyon and Graeme Swann have virtually identical economy rates in the 4th innings of a Test match (2.71 v 2.74), but that's where the 5th day similarities end...

Graeme Swann has bowled 16 times in the 4th innings of a Test match. In those 16 innings he has taken 40 wickets (2.5 w/i) at 27.52 (overall ave 28.55). His economy rate is 2.74 (v 2.93 overall) and strike rate is 60.2 (v 58.4 overall).

Nathan Lyon has bowled 13 times in the 4th innings of a Test match. In those 13 innings he has taken 16 wickets (1.2 w/i) at 34.25 (overall ave 33.23). His economy rate is 2.71 (v 3.05 overall) and strike rate is 75.6 (v 65.2 overall)

In terms of w/i in the 4th innings of a test Swann ranks up with the very best. Of the 48 spinners in test history who have taken more than 15 wickets in the 4th innings of tests only Warne (2.6), Murali (3.0), Kumble (2.7), Bedi (2.6), Trumble (2.9), Tayfield (3.6), Mailey (3.4), Grimmett (3.7), Peel (4.2), O'Reilly (2.7), and Rehman (3.4) have taken more wickets per innings than Swann.

how many overs have the ****s each bowled in the 4th innings

 

[uvelocity]

squad picked itself tbh

 

[adub]

how many overs have the ****s each bowled in the 4th innings

Lyon 16 wickets at 75.6 sr = 201.4 overs
Swann 40 wickets at 60.2 sr = 401.2 overs

 

[adub]

lots of 'no brain' selections

 

[Spikey]

I think you'll find, because Usman has historically been considered a poor limited overs player, that Khawaja's technique is perfect for test match cricket

 

[CricAddict]

how many overs have the ****s each bowled in the 4th innings

Get a calculator. Multiply the strike rate and the wickets he has given for each bowler. And divide it by 6. You get the answer.

Edit: Just saw Adub's post. Simple. See his post then.
