*Official* Warm up Matches Discussion

[NUFAN]

Cheers for the radio link by the way Spikey. Just been listening since lunch and even though not much has happened its been good to hear instead of relying on the basic cricinfo commentary.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Yeah if Compton keeps making runs for Somerset I would not be against him getting a go in the the middle order if there is a space. Certainly if Trott got injured he would be the obvious choice.

Compton used to be a number 3 at Middlesex before he moved to Zummers didn't he, or have i got that wrong?

I would think Bell would go to 3 if Trott went down.

I'm pretty sure Compton batted at 5 for Middlesex before moving to three at Somerset. Was never an opener anyway, and only played there because that was the only vacancy available when his chance came. He was actually a semi contender for the number 6 spot at points last summer, or at least was in my eyes.

Back to the match at hand, Pattinson has apparently been the best Australian bowler so far. Beat Compton a couple of times in his last over.

Did not know that cheers.

Just forget about all that and play Chris Jones.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Patt Murphy being very mean to the Aussies on the radio atm.

Siddle heart mentions by commentary so far on tour: 2

Predicted: many

Along with "never going to run through a side"

Until he does.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, it's harsh given he got more six wicket hauls in the last Ashes than any England bowler did.

 

[Spikey]

hey siddle, you're putting your position in the team at risk with this crap

 

[Cabinet96]

Now they're saying how fast medium is a compliment to Siddle, and he's more medium fast. Hopefully for the commentators sake Nufan turned their coverage off 10 minutes ago.

 

[Spikey]

Usman getting a chance to show why he should replace Hussey with the ball too.

 

[Ruckus]

Hows Starc been bowling? Actually has a really good economy

 

[LegionOfBrad]

From what they're saying, he's bowled fast and a bit loose. Pattinson has been the best bowler by a long way.

 

[Ruckus]

well sounds like stock standard starc then

 

[Cabinet96]

You're playing four seamers and Watson FFS, what's Khawaja doing?

Commentators keep harping on about how he clearly has a lot of potential but has to improve his radder as he's bowled quite a few loose balls.

 

[Spikey]

With Hussey gone, we don't have a batsman who can bowl some solid seamers if Watson isn't in the team, for one reason or another. So I suppose we'll just giving him an audition of sorts because let's face it, Watson might be out of team at some point during the Ashes.

 

[Spikey]

I quite like this Murphy chap

Haha I did actually. Computer crashed so took a break for half an hour. Missed all of Siddle's spell (probably for the best).
