Symonds can move the ball a bit in the air when conditions are helpful when he's bowling seam-up. At his pace it's not particularly hard.tooextracool said:
Homophobe as well as racist, eh? That figures.Scallywag said:
after the india series he hasn't been taking that many wickets but at the end of the NZ tour he was economical, but since he has touched down on the UK he has looked so woeful, so if that goes on until the end of the ashes then we can say with confidence that dizzy has lost it.marc71178 said:
England bowled on a minefield and Aus was lucky to get 200 - remember we scored 50 off the last 30 balls. They were criticised by the media and their own captain for the way they bowled.marc71178 said:
Except for no-balls. Lee and McGrath were fine for the first 8 - 10 overs.tooextracool said:
No, you are being critical of Aus' opening attack without justification.marc71178 said:
Who would have thought an innocent mistake like forgeting to put an A in ****atoo would lead to the discovery of you being gay. Calling me a homophobe seems a bit odd considering up until now I thought you were female but even though you say you are tired of baiting me, I'm still not sure if you are just baiting me.luckyeddie said:
Well, that makes it all better, then. Oh, and it's pointy brackets for ducks.Scallywag said:
I'll give you "should have" been 1-16 (Strauss ct Gilchrist, I'd have been disappointed to spill that caught behind), but not the second wicket... he overstepped by a good four, five inches, which means the ball would have been in a completely different position had it been released from a legal position. The only time you can legitimiately claim Tres should've been out was when he ran Symonds into Gilchrist's gloves but Koertzen didn't notice...social said:
He said Australia DID bowl poorly, with the exception of 20 overs, which is true. That, along with a modest total caused more by the conditions than England's great bowling (given that 220 was a pretty good score on the wicket Australia batted on), and some good play by Tresco after his early struggles and by Vaughan was why England won.marc71178 said:
i think symonds a bit like flintoff can only swing the ball when the conditions are very conducive for swing. he certainly hasnt swung the ball all series.FaaipDeOiad said:
he wasnt taking too many wickets before the tour of india either, but he certainly wasnt downright woeful as he is now.aussie said:
doubt it, brett lee and mcgrath bowled too short, mcgrath of course didnt bowl as short as harmison but he was consistently bowling that short of a length rubbish which was quite obviously not the right length to be hitting on this wicket.social said:
