Australia in Bangladesh

[IloveGilly]

It looked like he bowled quite well but could have done with a few wickets.

well Cullen uses his flight and drift more than turn anyway.

but the fact he hasnt been able to turn it is bizarre, off-breaks are the easiest style of bowling IMO

Please don't tell me we got another White
But surely a guy like Cullen must be able to turn it as the amount of wickets he got in FC isn't from a guy that can't turn it.

I think hes just struggling with the Bangladesh pitches.

 

[genghis_khan]

he'll be right

lets hope we win the second game so that Cosgrove can play in the third game. an lets hope Dorey and Hopes dont get a game

 

[aussie1st]

Extremely unlikely that a player from our squad won't get a game. If we are up 2-0 we're see a few new faces. But we can't change it too much that we lose to Bangladesh again!

If Dorey and Hopes do play we will need Lee there to pick up the slack.

Surely you have seen him in a match on tv.

Lol quite alot of slack to pick up

i just hope Lee doesnt get injured, at his express pace and been bowling nonstop since the ashes. He must be super fit :/

He'll be fine, after that last ODI we don't have cricket for ages so the selectors won't be resting him. If we had another tour you certainly wouldn't have Lee playing in the final ODI.

Never seen Cullen, bearly saw White so I'm just going on reports.

yeh...Lee's so cool, our most important player

off topic: man i cant wait for the ashes!...i get excited just thinking about them, and teh ashes thread is gonna be so huge!...how big was last year's?...i wasnt around then :/ lol

 

[aussie1st]

Him and Bracken are our most important now. If they don't get wickets we are in big trouble with Johnson, Dorey or Hopes left to bowl. Hogg I guess could get a few but don't know if that will be enough.

The last Ashes thread was the biggest thread when it finished.

never ever put Johnson in the same class as those two...he is a class above easy

 

[aussie1st]

A class above with speed Johnson still is yet to break through in the shorter format of the game. There is potential he just has to show it. Obviously he won't prove his doubters wrong in this tour so he'll have to continue his form all the way to the WC.

That's a flawed argument, his stats are worse than White's

 

[IloveGilly]

If they are then we should be using White... At least he can bat too.

Brad defending White never thought I would see the day!

Of course White has more wickets hes played 30 more games. Dizzy would have 400 wickets if he had played more games.
Cullen has 74 wickets in 20 matches while
White 110 wickets in 51 matches, you do the math on who is better!
