Should Australis A be granted test status?

Yeah but Kallis' economy is weoful this series. And I still think Flintoff is up there in tests, but of course, if he wasnt, it wouldnt do White any harm (if he returns from injuury )

His batting average of 19 and bowling average of 47 tell their own story. Although I really hope this goes down.

But i think the form he is showing the ODIs will carry on to the tests. His bowling has improved out of sight since he returned from injury.

Agreed, but Kallis is one heck of a player and whilst Freddy has the potential to equal - or better - Jacques, he's got to turn it on regularly like Kallis does (forget the WC) to be ranked as #1 in my mind.

And IMO Flintoff > Cairns as Cairns' international career is all but over now

Bowling only of course?!

 

[age_master]

yeah kallis is the best

I think Flintoff's test stats will improve. If you consider he missed pretty much all of last summer and The Ashes, he hasn't had a chance to play regularly in tests for 18 months, and judging by his one day form, he's come a long way baby!

yeah kallis is the best

Aren't you forgetting Watson, Bichel, Lehmann, Clarke and Ponting?

 

[age_master]

watson hasd the potential to be as good i think, but well, we will have to wait and see, hopefully after this break he will not injure himself much more

Bichels good, but doesn't quite bat as consistantly, lehman is too overweight :P, Clarke and Ponting dont bowl much cause in Australia we dont need out batsmen to bowl

 

[Bazza]

How come?

Oh yeah - you've got Brad Hogg. Sorry I forgot!
