Michael Bevan

U19 Vice-Captain
We know that Michael Bevan is a legend in ODI's (his record speaks for himself), but can Michael Bevan ever return to the Australian Test Team?

I think he can, but he needs to start to reguarly bowl.

What do you all think?

As much as i would love him to the answer is a big fat NO...

The Kat has proven he can do it and if Lehmann or him aint there the next in line will most definatley be Michael Clarke....
 

Mr. P

International Vice-Captain
Nope sorry mate couple of things working against him:

1/ He had his chances and failed to take them

2/ He's getting on a bit age wise

3/ He's not good enough anyway. Who would he replace?

Nope , he had his chance & didnt take it , he is to old (the average age is already 30 & a bit , with him it will be even older , there is also a definate pecking order as far as whos next in line for a test call up is concerned.

If they need someone who can bowl its Katich if not its Love , next is Micheal Clarke then Jimmy Maher & after that its anyones guess.
 
Lehmann got a second chance. In my opinion he didn't deserve it any more than Bevan.

Oh and David, I am from the ACT

Ok , hey did you used to post on the Cricinfo blues views forum , coz there was a guy on their called Ged aswell , do you play grade for anyone?
 
I'm 16, so I play juniors. Only took it up again this year, came out of retirement since I moved from Perth lol :P

Yeah I posted on there, kind of obvious with the Michael Clarke connections anyway right? I haven't been able to get there since the NSW site changed. Can you still go there?

Nup , Cricinfo got rid of the link since they revamped the site so no one can get to it anymore , Richard & Craig also used to post on the Cricinfo forums but they've come here now.

I play for Tuggeranong.
 
I play for Tuggeranong as well.

We're in the middle of playing Marist at the moment. I'm embarassed to reveal our 1st innings score last weekend.

10/61.

Yeah that's right lol.

Major major major collapse with the batting. I opened and was run out when i lost my right shoe *sigh* that'll probably give the captain enough reason to do me in from the opening role for now :D

At least I can do a bit of everything hehe.

How's your team?

I'm 15 , I know Richard & Craig are both 18 , in fact I think everyone on here exept for Johnny A , LE & James is a teenager.

Im playing 2 games , we bowled Eddies out for 109 (I got 3-18) & in my 3rd grade game we were bowled out for 79 & the opposition are 5-219 :lol: :lol:

But I just f***ed my hamstring up so now I aint going to be playing until about Christmas.

Bevan might fit nicely into that Bangledesh team ... he has about as much proficiency against the short ball as they do :P

... that's why he can't play test cricket :)

I'm 18, but there's several more mature (:P) posters here. You left out the all-time biggest poster who's in his 20s (Marc). And T_C and Rik.

But granted most are in their teens.
