Swear Clarke's captaincy is 'do the opposite to the obvious'

5 over spells is his stock in trade tbf.

Starc needs to lose the sunscreen if he wants to become a star imo

 

[thierry henry]

tbh I don't see how Starc's pace is deceptive Slats, an 8 foot tall bloke with a massive leap would tend to look pretty quick to the batsman

 

[Spikey]

that's a nice ball

 

[Sylvester]

That length but closer to the stump, Mitch.

Has a very easy run up, almost jogs up to the crease.

Doubt he wants to play for Melbourne anyway tbh.

 

[Jacknife]

Nicely played.

 

[adub]

It's not possible

Mitchell Starc then?

Pitch it up Starc you ****.

would need to get some botox too

 

[Spark]

Bowling faaar too short.

 

[NUFAN]

Shorter run up, more shoulder, bowling a lot of cross seam, use of the crease - couldnt all have been done in the few days leading up to a test so huge credit to Hilf and guys in Tassie

Yeah it's more Winter not McDermott who has helped the Hilf. It was pretty interesting to read the article from Winter who suggested that Hilfenhaus should be rested at Adelaide if the series isn't on the line as he's not particularly suited to Adelaide conditions.

Gambhir has gone 5 balls without looking ********

 

[Burgey]

Mitchell Starc then?

Pitch it up Starc you ****.

It's his first over ffs. Give him a go.

 

[Jacknife]

Yes he's leaving the ball much better that over.

 

[Spikey]

<3 Starceh

 

[Jacknife]

Bloody hell.

 

[NUFAN]

The game needs more Siddle action IMO.

Watched him in the Shield a couple of times and he had changed his run up and tried to use the crease more, was also a little quicker - but the areas he was bowling were still pretty poor and generally unthreatening. Same with Pattinson really. I think McDermott, more than any technical changes, is helping our bowlers understand bowling more and have better plans, which was always my biggest criticism of Hilfenhaus.

Top effort from Haddin tbf
