**Official** Australia in Bangladesh

Is he getting the ball to move away off the seam? That surely is the thing to lookout for and the thing that was missing during the Ashes.

There was minimal amounts of seam movement, but I guess it's hard to make a real judgement considering where the cricket was being played.

I guess so. He'll be playing for Yorkshire soon so we'll find out in due course.

I thought Gillespie bowled well on wickets that weren't offering much. And 8 wickets in 2 Tests is pretty good, I think lots of players would like to take 4 wickets a Test.

Gillespie making 200* normal?

Could be a regular fixture, But lets hope he gets constint 50's, up the order, than the time to time to, then the rare Moonshining 200, then the Class innings of 300!

But at this point to date, Even I would have to say, Gillespie is the Worst Batsman to get a ton

Dizzy, I love your sig...

'have you ever seen a bowler get one ever?'

No one is saying that he didn't bowl well, just that playing well against Bangladesh doesn't really prove a thing, even if he was doing something with the ball.

Khaled Mashud has one, hes not the greatest batsman, Iqbal from Bangladesh too.

Im sure there are a few bowlers around who fulked one through history too.

they didn't gothe double though.

Here is another case to support my point in the "Fixated on Facts" thread. People are seeing the fact that Jason took 8 Wickets in 2 Tests without taking into account the opposition.

Precisely - however, of the 38.31% of CW contributors who are fixated with statistics, it is likely that less than 4.77% will see the irony of your statement.

That should have been "38.295% of CW contributors"

Of course - foolish of me. I have invalidated my own argument by failing to allow for an error of plus or minus two standard deviations (those being C_C and Richard whose opinions deviate the most from common sense)

No they aren't. People are seeing the fact that he bowled quite well. It wouldn't matter if he took 8 wickets or 0.
