Haha, bit self-deprecating. "It's nearly as bad as MY bowling."

Gayle always seems to be amused by batsmen who get out to him though. It's more like "you'll get out to me", and much less "I'll get you out".

A better bowler though.

Better one day bowler, reckon I'd take Sehwag in the longer version. Reckon he's the most underused spinner in the world, TBH.

I think they're about equal in Tests. Gayle is pretty underrated and often underused in that regard too. When he backs his bowling he can do a very decent job, and I definitely think he should've bowled more instead of Sammy in the 2nd innings at Adelaide.

Agree completely. Sehwag streets ahead in the longer form, I reckon.

Geeves called as Siddle's standby | Cricket News | Australia v West Indies 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com
Won't play, but interesting to note how highly the selectors rate Geeves. No complaints from me, bowling really well over the past couple of season. Another cricketer who's career average should be taken with a grain of salt, better bowler than that now.

I'm instinctively reluctant to endorse Taswegians. However, I like Geeves. As with Hilf, he's a big, strong bastard who will run in all day. Importantly, he's taken big strides forward in recent Summers- he's very much on the incline.
Has always struck me as being on a level with the Magoffins of the world - ok fc bowler but not test class

Indeed. Too bad the selectors have banished Noffke (although his FC from for WA looks iffy this season last i checked) & Nannes is injured.

Reckon Magoffin's actually the better bowler tbh.

The take-home? 'Medium-fast bowler will be needed to bowl into the Doctor'.
AdelaideNow... Shane Watson to bowl into-the-wind
How is this news?

Agree. Always rated Magoffin highly, when fit he is really dangerous.
Australian selectors have shown very little interest though. I don't even recall him ever going on an 'A' team tour. Only interest was being selected for the T20 warm up game at the start of last season.

95% of cricket news is crap. Mostly articles about cricketers or coaches saying inconsequential rubbish eg Hussey says he'll open if asked, Gayle says WI can win, Ponting says Australia can do better blah blah blah.
