Battle of the Test Bowling

Wasn't this WSC Australia?

Still had Border and Hughes, which alone makes it better than some batting lineups.

Sarfraz for me. Not one that I think could win it, but certainly should go a fair way.

 

[GIMH]

For reasons of compelte bias, and reminscence Simon Jones

Also Jones bowled Clarke with *that* ball in this match. Not sure which innings. Should have checked the scorecard

 

[GIMH]

Oh bugger the Clarke ball was the second innings. I don't care. I'm voting Jones anyway, and besides, I've hardly voted for a winner yet

 

[Jono]

So the whole "must win match" situation is thrown out the window when it involves an Englishman hey?

That Jones to Clarke ball is still one of my favourite deliveries ever. Best thing about it is that I fell asleep on the couch, and randomly woke up, lifted my head, cricket was still on. Saw Jones running in and then BAM, Clarke leaves it and the stump goes flying. I was seconds away from missing it live, it was like fate that I woke up for that ball.

 

[Goughy]

Sarfraz.

As I said for a prevous match-up. A 9fer is a 9fer and winning is winning. Simple match-up for Sarfraz really

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Still had Border and Hughes, which alone makes it better than some batting lineups.

And at the time, they had a combined experience equivalent to Ali Cook and Ian Bell.

 

[Jono]

Still gotta say that dismissing them and 7 other players is probably a bit better than dismissing Gillespie, Lee and Warne.

[Zinzan]

fannie de Vills for me

 

[oz_fan]

Fanie de Villiers a match - winning spell against some quality batsmen (Taylor, Slater, Boon).

 

[Goughy]

Tayfield a match - winning spell against some quality batsmen (May, Compton, Cowdrey).

Both games looked like classics from the scorecards and both guys helped their teams to improbable wins. Still a 9fer is still a 9fer and would SA have won the game if Warne had not been run-out?

 

[Dasa]

Tayfield.

 

[Burpey]

Tayfield

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

De Villiers.

 

[Jono]

Tayfield, but both should be in the 2nd round.

Improbable comeback.
