Bevan = Hussey????

[vic_orthdox]

sure about that??

Which part - the fielding or the attitude - do you take objection to?

 

[Mister Wright]

Did Elliott play any more matches at 3 besides the one game at Darwin?

He batted at 3 when Australia toured South Africa in 1997 IIRC.

 

[Craig]

On Tests you can't say that about either player.

And especially about Hussey since he hasn't played one yet.

 

[Craig]

Any suggestions how to get him out?

Bowl an unplayable yorker.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Hussey doesn't open all the time for WA, so he is useful in the middle order.

Should be ahead of Hodge for a spot IMO.

As much as i like Hodge, I'd have to agree there, Hussey has proved himself against England in the ODI's and if it wasn't for Symonds playing like a madman, he would have won Man Of The Series IMO. I think he's turned himself more into a middle order batsman now, atleast in OD's be interesting to see if he gets a shot in the tests.

If it was a dead rubber, would u give guys like Hussey, Hodge, Tait and co a go in the tests? IMO they'd want to as a few players will be retiring soon and they would want to work the new guys in gradually.

 

[King_Ponting]

hussey only doesnt open in 4 day matches when langer is playing. Then Rodgers and Langer open

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

North opens at stages, right?

 

[superkingdave]

Is North any good? he's playing for Lancs after Hodge leaves.

I've seen some crazy Aussies on other forums asking for this side for the Ashes

Langer
Hussey
Ponting
Martyn
Katich
Symonds
Gilchrist
Warne
Lee
Tait
McGrath

 

[King_Ponting]

symonds are u f*cking serious? i dont think so......... Hussey would be much better in the middle order and no hayden? WTF?. A team like this would look better.

Langer
Hayden
Ponting
Martyn
Hussey
Clarke
Gilchrist
Warne
Lee
Tait/ Gillespie (depending on if he gets belted again)
McGrath

 

[King_Ponting]

North opens at stages, right?

I think you'll find that north opens when hussey isnt in the first class team, and north opens in one day matches with rodgers.

I sincerely hope so... just add MacGill and Elliott and it's 5-0 England!

ur funny neil

MacGill isn't that bad.

He is just as good, if not better then Giles.

 

[Zinzan]

On Tests you can't say that about either player.

yawn

 

[King_Ponting]

Having seen that team i would still think Australia is the better team. And the resulting scorline would mostlikely be 3 to 2 Aus way

 

[vic_orthdox]

Right now, if you were desperate to get Hussey in, I'd have him in over Hayden every time. Katich has done nil wrong.

 

[howardj]

Hussey shouldn't be in the Test side - simply not Test class. His record in FC cricket for WA is very patchy. As Ian Healy eluded to back in June, there's no doubt that if Hayden fails in this Ashes series, he will get dropped for the following Australian summer. If that were to transpire, Hussey wouldn't be his replacement though - Phil Jacques would be.
