Great thread how prophetic of Jarryd.

My highlight was probably the first test...when England were slaming the ball in the Aussies. I know we lost that test but great cricket eh?

Hasnt helped the FIFA series has it?

I get stumped quite a bit when trying to play the spinner off the front foot.

The third one rocked. Because I managed to finish it with no cheats

Has to be Harmisson to my mind.

Nope doesnt happen to me either

Ive well improved with spin bowling actually getting some serious runs off them too. Anything full I just defend, timing is the key there. Anything short and on the offside, I advance down the wicket and drive, always seems to loop over the fielders and go for four. But watch out, I have been...

Since I posted this Ive improved. Most of my wicket have come from hooks which have been caught on the onside, by my square leg and deep square leg. A couple have come when the batsman has skied it. Only playing Bangladesh but actually managed to bat a decent score, for me anyway 265 all out.

Great story mate...havent got a lot bowled out straight though. Would like to hear how someone manages to bowl batsman out in test cricket.

Just wondering how everyone is going with test match bowling. My first attempt took me about 150 overs to get Bangladesh out. Now starting to find a few little tricks. Always getting edges to the slips but if I wait for them it would take me the 150 overs. The thing that seems to be working...

Ive tried this and I havent noticed any real difference to be honest.

I dont think Ive bowled a batsman out in a test match yet...only ever catches to the slips and caught at square leg from a full toss. One or two lbws but no straight bowls...anyone got any secrets?

Yayyyy I can go to work tomorrow in Melbourne and give some of these aussies in the office who have been giving me sooo much stick it all back. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Id like Billy Bowden in it with his crooked fingers
