***Official** Malaysia Tri-Series

[Nate]

Katiiiiiiiiiich! It`s only Smith! Hit through the line boy!

 

[aussie]

Get Smith out of the attack Mr.Lara, bring on wonder kid Bravo..

 

[Hoggy31]

Taylor certainly not impressing me so far.

 

[Nate]

Collymore? So many things to pick at.

 

[aussie]

Taylor certainly not impressing me so far.

well he is bowling at good pace.

 

[Nate]

He is also bowling EVERYWHERE.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Taylor hasn't bowled in a proper game for months. Played a couple of Twenty20 matches, but wasn't allowed to tour with the 'A' team due to being injury prone.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Collymore? So many things to pick at.

Collymore should always be picked ahead of one of Edwards and Taylor in ODI cricket IMO.

 

[Nate]

Edwards seems to have turned a bit of a corner for mine. Been pretty dangerous lately. Collymore is just so accurate, not using him is just stupidity. He`s the McGrath for the Windies ODI-wise.

 

[Nate]

Katich.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

He`s the McGrath for the Windies ODI-wise.

And in Tests. The one consistent measure.

 

[aussie]

palyed Punters..

 

[kwigibo]

Even if you're backwards enough to think Katich is serving the team well playing like this, can we get rid of him just for being so ludicrously, ridiculously boring to watch. I can understand not being able to pick the gap, but he's not even trying.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That'll do, Ian. That'll do.

 

[adharcric]

A few things to point out here ...

-quite some idiotic captaincy from Lara so far today in terms of bowling changes
-katich stands out like an ugly duckling in this aussie lineup, it's not about his inability to score boundaries but rather his inability to rotate the strike, something which every other aussie batsman does with excellence
-these west indian quicks need to calm down and learn from bradshaw, who has 20 less yards of pace but is so much more effective on occasions like this

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That'll do, Ian. That'll do.

 

[andyc]

To anyone watching, has Cozzy been laying off the pies?

 

[adharcric]

To anyone watching, has Cozzy been laying off the pies?

Can't say if the pie count has increased or decreased, but it's still pretty high, that's for sure.

 

[Great Birtannia]

"Anchors" don't waste 70 balls to get 36 runs and get out either, they press on and make a big score.

In his 39 innings, Katich has finished up in the 30-40 run range 10 times (a couple of NOs admittedly) and has only made the one century. Not good enough for a bloke striking at 70, a measley 52 today. Chris Gayle will wipe that out in 15 balls.

Also, how bloody often does he get out to a soft dismissal like that when trying to up the pace? Grrrrrr.

I hereby impose a summer long ban on me posting about the hack. It's going to be a long one.

My sentiments exactly!!! i thought he'd gotten over the Jaques Kallis test batting thing when he scored that Century ... apparently not!!!
