What are you on about?:yawn:

He plays for South Australia. Read The Argonaut's post.
So what has that got to do with his 30 wickets at 23? I just commented on Argonaut's post saying sorry I got the team wrong...

Rik said:
Ahhhh, ta for that! I can't remember who he played for, so...actually who did he take them against? :duh:

I have a feeling Kaspawicz will go to SRL in the Test team. And the same for India. Mind you Kaspawicz has earnt it.
If Lee gets hammered all over Sri Lanka (as I hope will happen, naturally :D) and Williams gets shown-up as palpably substandard (as is likely, assuming he goes) then Bichel and Kasprowicz may yet have Test-cricket left in them.
Both are easily among the best bowlers in Australia domestically but still, I don't rate any as in the same class as Inness.

2002 for Northants a few times and in one extensively covered Victoria match where he and Harwood both bowled in an extremenly impressive manner.
Sadly, it seems Harwood doesn't have Inness' accuracy. But if circumstances had not conspired against him he'd surely be in the Australian team by now.

This is a more ridiculous statement than the 'first-chance average'. Inness is nowhere near as good as Kasprowicz, let alone Bichel.

Kaspa is a much better bowler than Bichel IMO.

And I cant possibly see how Inness could be worse than Bichel.

Bichel is a great bowler at FC level but not that good at International level.

i'm a big rap for Inness too and upto this season (which has been plagued by injury/illness) he had been one of the best domestic bowlers in the country for 3-4 seasons.

Got a very strange action, which is far from traditional, but at the end of the day if you've got the sort of numbers which he has been producing over quite a prolonged period than something is going right.

OK, i don't agree with what you say for most of that, but i would have let it slip by, if not for your final line.

When have you ever seen Inness bowl?:rolleyes:

However Bichel is one of the games hardest working players and he never gives in. Always making improvements and playing at 110%.

Thats why he's played so many internationals, to an extent.

Kasprowicz and Bichel are both seam and conventional-swing bowlers.
Inness can bowl everything; seam, cut, conventional-swing, reverse-swing.
And not much difference in their accuracy, although but Kasprowicz and Bichel both have FC economy-rates over 3-an-over. Inness' is much better.

Who? Harwood or Inness?
Inness.
Harwood is way too inconsistent, though pretty talented IMO. At 29, anyway, he's not really had enough good years to push for a place.

Is he injured ATM?
It's not inconceivable that he could have been dropped after his performances in First-Class cricket this season.
Especially with Harvey, Lewis, Wise and McDonald getting such good figures. Not to mention Inness, of course.

I'm not actually sure on Harwood. He isnt playing 1st team cricket, so he maybe or he is down the pecking order.
