3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

[Burgey]

Ridiculous.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I know. As long as Patto plays though I am not too disappointed

 

[GotSpin]

Still more Siddle?

 

[Starfighter]

Am I the only one who feels like no matter whether he bowl accurately or not Siddle's ceiling is 2/50 or thereabouts? And he was expensive last match too.

Sydney Morning Herald indicating that Pattinson is likely to come in for Siddle though.

Fox said the same thing.

If I’m being honest though there was little difference between Siddle and Hazlewood’s bowling last match so I’m relatively indifferent regarding this. Slightly disappointed they’ll retain Bancroft, though.

I like that Langer hasn't been sucked into a bouncer war and gone with Starc

Fox linked to the SMH article. Incestuous journalism.

Unless the Oval pitch is a dry flattie I feel like the two most suitable wickets for Starc have likely come and gone anyway.

 

[TheJediBrah]

All indications are that Hazlewood will drop out of the side but Siddle will be retained.

**** off cretin. I wanted him to fail miserably as he is a cheat.

lol Joe Root cheated more by claiming that catch than Smith ever did, and I don't even really think that Root "cheated" at all in that scenario. Smith got banned for being the captain.

let's not even bring up 2005 Ashes ball tampering

you've got a few decent eggs but some of you poms really live in your own imaginary world

 

[the big bambino]

About right. Sanctimonious ***** getting upset over an incident that didn't even concern their team. But when they're own team has captains that blatantly claim bump ball catches or admit to ball tampering after the event then not a peep from them. Hypocrites and scum.

Easily the most contentious part of your post

Yeah but Haze's ceiling is so much higher than the VVMPer it isn't funny.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Haze was vastly better in the first innings. Ran out of steam a bit in the second but no means did he bowl badly then

 

[Burgey]

Probably because he'd hardly bowled at all. Better for the run.

Agree, getting a few more overs under his belt is a good thing

 

[Gob]

Whatever dickhead. You have no idea what I meant and as usual are ****stirring as much as you can you arrogant prick.

Time for a trip to Belize

Agreed, but the problem is he's been so mediocre for so long I'm starting to lose faith.

 

[vcs]

Wasn't he by far your best bowler on the first day and he looked back to his best? He'd been underwhelming for a while before that, granted.

Anyway, plenty of pace bowling depth for Australia. If they lose, it won't be because they picked the wrong quicks, or the ones that they picked didn't deliver - it will be the batting that let them down.

 

[Victor Ian]

Much as I love the banana eating bumpkin, it seems to me that Haze's mediocre is as good as Siddle's ceiling.
