***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2010/11

[thierry henry]

Vic have a pretty hot attack by the looks. Saw Harwood and Pattinson bowl during my trip to the MCG, thought Harwood looked pretty pedestrian while Pattinson was sharp, interested to see how that translates on TV

 

[Prince EWS]

Lumb's one of the better overseas signings but he was in really poor form across all formats last county season so it'll be interesting to see how he goes.

 

[NZTailender]

Used to like Lumb simply because he was gun in one of my ICC games.

Has always looked **** to me in real life though.

Harwood's really sharp when he's in good rhythm (I vaguely remember seeing him clock 150 in a domestic game). A lot quicker than he looks; loves to bang it in short too.

 

[Bahnz]

Maybe it's just in comparison to what Queensland were serving up earlier, but this looks way quicker than 140ish kmh.

Speaking of which, the MCG appears to have one of those "slow radars" as well- Nannes is low 140s, he'd be about 165 in NZ atm Pattinson already as quick as Nannes, so that's quick.

Pretty sure I recall Harwood bowling 130s when he played for Australia....just thought he'd got old and slow when I saw him

 

[Mister Wright]

That's bull****. Pattison looks pedestrian. Good shot, but not great placement.

Haha yeah, the keeper is a mile back.

Yeah Harwood only bowls mid to high 130s when he's carrying injury, which tbf is pretty often. Still has the ability to fire it through though, particularly in T20 when he knows he only has to bowl four overs.

Yeah was thinking the same thing. Nannes was looking much quicker than those clocked at faster speeds in NZ recently.

First time seeing Pattinson bowl. Like his action; nice and simple.

Low 140s, same as Nannes. Pedestrian?

 

[NZTailender]

the streaker had a good step!

I personally like Pattinson as a future prospect more than the more fancied Starc and Hazelwood but I'm never going to admit that again because he's Victorian.

Good stride as well; looked like he could run. Might just be because the security men chasing him were short and stocky though...

Brett Lee used to bowl pedestrian 150.

 

[NZTailender]

Hodge is so classy. Never used to like him too much but have really warmed to him lately. Phenomenal catch!

Yeah can see him playing Tests. In line for a ODI debut this summer?

Cannot believe that Qld have wasted a spot and money on a guy that is little more than an average domestic cricketer

They'd be far better off developing their own talent unless the signing is a Gayle or someone of his ilk

There have been worse signings made tbf. Western Australia signed Saj ****ing Mahmood.

 

[Mister Wright]

Why couldn't that have been Carseldine?
