Just don't like left-arm quicks who swing the ball tbh.

I would. Taking more wickets at 7 runs cheaper than Noffke and 15 balls quicker.

Agree with this, and the guy is also massively over-rated. Aside from this season, he's been absolute rubbish. People were hailing him as a good bowler and potential Test player when his bowling average was up around 35-40.Can't stand Bollinger, seriously.

Perhaps, but I've never been a fan of picking a player just because they look like they could be good, despite very poor records. Admittedly it has worked in the past with McGrath and Warne, but still not something I like to see.perhaps with good reason as they saw something and he is showing it now
This is the problem with looking at statistics on the whole of one's career. Of course he had a woeful start to his career. Absolutely woeful. But his form at the end of last season and all of this season has been brilliant and justified the hype. He has always been a bowler of enormous potential, and people have always commented on this, but he has been showing it consistently for a year now, and if you watch him bowl you know he's a tricky customer.Agree with this, and the guy is also massively over-rated.

I agree, statistics should be carefully analyzed before you make any judgements based on them. The point I was making was that I got annoyed when people were claiming Bollinger was a good bowler when he averaged close to 40 for most of his career. Nobody who averages that highly is a good bowler at that stage, unless they've had numerous catches dropped/shocking umpiring decisions etc. He's having a fantastic season, and had a pretty solid one last year, which is good for his development. Is this a sign of things to come, or a mere blip in the radar? I'm not sure, we'll wait and see.This is the problem with looking at statistics on the whole of one's career.

Loving the Australian selectors right now. Just have to drop Jaques, Clarke, Lee and Clark and everything will be sweet.Katich is in ridiculous form at the moment.
Has played 10 Pura Cup innings and passed 50 on 9 occasions.
Yeah, he's averaging over 100 and is 82 not out in this game.Katich is King, simply put. Shame he won't get another chance![]()
I know you're just kidding, but you've no idea how much I want to punch you in the face right now. Show some respect.We are so ****ed now, I hate you Gilly. First you leave us, then put squash ball in your glove and now you do this to us. Biggest tool ever.![]()
LOL, no worries.I know you're just kidding, but you've no idea how much I want to punch you in the face right now. Show some respect.
I know he's your idol but lighten the **** up.I know you're just kidding, but you've no idea how much I want to punch you in the face right now. Show some respect.
That's my reasoning... plus he's from NSW. They've had enough glory in the AUS side for a decadeIs it because he has no hair and a stupid surname?
