Future Test simuation

[chris.hinton]

I going to do a 5 match test series with the future sides of 2007 (IMO) that will play for both sides the squads are as follows

England

Vaughan (Capt), Trescothick, Bell, Troughton,Kadder Ali, , Foster, Kabir Ali, Jones, Harminson, Anderson, A "Leggie"

12th man Key

Australia

Marsh, Hayden, Ponting (Capt), North, Clarke, Gilcrist, Watson, Rofe, Bracken,Haurittz, Iness

12th man Cameron White

Who is your money on?

 

[Eclipse]

Well the Aussie guys have the better stats so ill go with them.

Who's "Marsh" Chris?

I doubt we will have a leggie then, and if they end up bowling like MacGill in the last few Tests with 100 runs + in every innings he bowled in or just about...then we will loose badly. That IS what happens when a leggie gets it wrong.

 

[Langeveldt]

yeh i can definitely relate to Macgill and the problems he is having!
Its called the "Yips" I think, when a spinner cant land the ball properly

Or at all...see some of those full tosses? :O

Who's going to be the "Leggie"? Your brother?

1) Kadeer Ali over Shafayat?? Yeah, whatever.

2) That kind of Leg-spin is called "Bowling like me" - This Season's Analysis: 10.3-0-84-1 (top-edged slog to midwicket)

"Don't pick a leggie unless he's good enough"...oh how the applies now...:rolleyes:

Michael DIghton!!! now theres a terrific talent. Seems to be have been around for ages but is still only pretty young.

I would think he'd get a shot at Test Cricket at some stage if he keeps his FC form up, but whether he goes on with it is up to him.

Eh? Cam White needs to learn that the most important facet of being a spin bowler is the ability to spin the ball. He's bascially a really slow (albeit, accurate) medium pacer.

Who's "Marsh" Chris?

That would be Shaun Marsh, the son of former Aussie vice-captain, Geoff Marsh. If he doesn't have a long Test career, I won't be the only VERY surprised. He can really play the game very well.

Agree with the first point about Cam White. Better batsmen at FC level than he is a bowler at the moment. That will change with experience though. He may become a Bill O'Reilly type who is quick through the air and gets bounce and not much turn.

Have heard Shaun Marsh is an absolute gun, but i've yet to see him bat. Has some impressive scores at various levels of cricket though, which can't be bad.

this is only a Simuation lads, I going for Dawson as the spinner becasue if i pick a Leggie people will complain

you are looking at MacGill from a Warne view, Not everyone well be as good as Warne, He bowled ok

 

[Neil Pickup]

Er.. Giles? He'll still be playing.

And Dawson can't turn it...

 

[funky miller]

what about brett lee he won't be too old in 2007

 

[Rik]

Oh ok. I thought Chris had gone mad and picked Daniel Marsh, the Aussie who played for Leicestershire not long ago.

 

[chris.hinton]

the sim will start early next week


Who is your money on

 

[Neil Pickup]

With Kadeer Ali in the England side...

Australia very easily
