His hair was vastly over-rated.So was I.
Had one Test on an absolute road, one where he bowled with a bung hamstring and he performed admirably in the other three, getting key wickets.
EDIT: His ability to get the best batsman out was vastly underated imo, both in his ODI and 5 Test Career.
Actually, I'm out. The bet I feel is unfair if Australia is missing half their lineup, whereas the Kiwis are at full-strength.Deal.
Think I'll be OK so as long as the weather doesn't hit. If 1 day is heavily hit by weather, the deal is off, like if Ryder doesn't play.
Cop it ****.Actually, I'm out. The bet I feel is unfair if Australia is missing half their lineup, whereas the Kiwis are at full-strength.
Let's just say that the boot was in the other foot and New Zealand had Bracewell, Williamson, Vettori, Martin and Southee out. And Boult wasn't selected. Would you have backed out of a bet? Serious question, not just being a **** for the sake of it. Hurricane wanted the bet void if Ryder wasn't fit, iirc, and that's just ONE player, not 5.Cop it ****.

Then again, Harris is never 100%, Cummins wasn't expected to have such a big role, and Johnson is Johnson....
You made a bet, be a man and deal with the consequences.

Fair point. It is a month, I suppose.It's an avatar FFS. Man up.
And of course I'd follow through, it's a bit of a fun.
Don't think you're getting the srsness of the situation. This are srs stuff.It's an avatar FFS. Man up.

Australia's fitness concerns were all part of the bet though.

I agree with that. He has struggled to get wickets lately (not his fault today though). Hazelwood I rate higher than even Cummins of the young quicks. As I said in the Domestic thread he has a massive amount of the McGraths about him. Similar easy approach to the wicket, smooth tall delivery, gets close to the stumps, great control, bowls that nagging line and length, keeps the runs down.Siddle and Pattinson looks to be a lock.
Probably right, just too many * going by Copeland's name. I'd say his test career is over unless he can gain some pace. With Hazlewood going solid that could be the final nail in the coffin as he is the same as Copeland but with more pace.
True dat. It will make a nice change from guys playing with the confidence that any old crap they turn out won't cost them at the selection table. We'll either fold like a cheap picnic table or smash the kiwis by an innings and.I think it will be Siddle and Starc opening the bowling with Pattinson first change. I'm excited about the XI we've picked. Everyone apart from say Clarke has a big reason to perform or else they've get dropped when the injured quartet and maybe Johnson, get fit.
NZ 150ao. Book it.Have honestly never looked forward to watching the opposition bowl more in a Test match.
What if Ryder or Clarke pulls out of...i've reviewed the bet and it's on. Doesn't matter if Ryder or Clarke or your mum pulls out.
