Probably my favourite lefty to watch - makes Sanga look positively average when in full flow.

See this would have been good if you hadn't thrown this in, just looks weird now.

Perhaps if I made more South African choking jokes, trolled the English fans at every opportunity or accused the entire community of being keyboard warriors whenever I held a contrary opinion, that'd be more to your taste?

Not sure about taste but certainly less complicated, after all I'm only a bogan so hey shoot me

PS- Nice to see you've been following me closely

I really feel that Onions has been hard done by. I mean, he averaged about 15 with the ball last season and he can't get a game ahead of an obviously out-of-form Bresnan? Not like they would miss his batting either.

Well that went well......

I'm starting to worrying it might be time to stick a fork in Bres as a serious test bowler. Since he came back from the protracted elbow issue(s) he's really, really lost pace.

Winter of 10/11 he was up around and above 85mph but now he appears to be struggling to get to 80mph even. Prior up to the sticks was the final proof how much he's regressed.

As nice as the extra batting is, not when it's at the expense of more penetrative bowling, ta. I imagine Broad and Swann compare pretty favourably with any 8s & 9s we've ever had anyway.

Daemon · 15-11-2012, 05:33 AM

Yeah, Bresnan was really down on pace today, even MrPrez is probably quicker than him.

Prince EWS · 15-11-2012, 05:33 AM

To be fair to Bresnan he did completely outbowl Onions in the warmup matches and he's only playing because of Finn's injury anyway.

Did you watch them then?

I love how people judge a small difference in stats as being 'completely outbowling' someone, after Onions has utterly dominated in County Championship for a while now.

Also what's the point in all our staff if Bresnan is bowling at no sort of pace and they still pick him?

Scaly piscine · 15-11-2012, 06:03 AM

Anyway forgot to mention the main thing. Another ****ing ****house performance in the field.

Don't think I'd quite call the difference between 9 wickets @ 19 and 2 wickets @ 53 "small" either.

silentstriker · 15-11-2012, 06:09 AM

Need to learn how to troll better.

EDIT: Ah, post deleted. Nice.

We also know at least one straight-forward catch was dropped off Onions, then you have things like bad calls, bad luck. That sort of difference is not remotely significant statistically - let alone with all the other things like bowling against better batsmen etc.

A whole season - that means something. Some warm-up games in different conditions and situations mean next to nothing unless you're watching them.
