Aussie Team Strategy!

Batting strategies:
Agressive near start and finish (eg first 10 overs and last 10 too), only hit sixes on good players and go for the gaps in the field. during the middle 30 overs get batsmen to full confidence and hit a few sixes and fours here and there, but block dodgy balls, don't wanna get out by trying to smash something. Yorkers can be smashed if there is no one at the straight on boundary, otherwise just block. Don't get out hooking the ball or you get real lessons from a professional hooker!

Bowling:
Bowl with an outfield of leg side and either straight on depending where everyone else is (if more fielders inside rope on off side then the long on is straight) Also depends on where you bowl more, off side or towards stumps. Anway, bowl where you can get wickets (edges, catches, bowls, stumps etc). Bowl with plenty of aggression, lots of yorkers and bouncers!

The Final Team For Australia is as follows since I have no time to ask Rabbitoh Rob about it, and I only have one personal strategy so far, but I've done some for the REAL players.
1. Michael Hussey (Play Agressive near start and build up confidence, before batting normally)
2. Wildwil (lemme know strategies, otherwise similar to Hussey)
3. R. Balaji (whatever you did last time)
4. Richie Roberts
5. Langerrox (i like playing a ponting like innings, slow at start and then flurish at the end scoring quite quickly, i prefer leg side and love cuts and hooks/pulls)
6. Shev
7. M. Hammer
8. A. Garg
9. E. Doherty
10. McDonald
11. McGrath (Bowl line and length with some aggresive balls too - lots of yorkers - and just do what McGrath does)
Super Sub is Symonds (though there is none in the game anyway)
PS Brett are you doing bowling for the actual matches or not? Cos you should.

Richie Roberts (me ) will play with my usual Gilchrist style and the captaincy style of Steve Waugh.

 

[rabbitoh rob]

Richie Roberts and his aussie team mates have one message for his Derbyshire team mates and the rest of the Pommy squad.


Australia are about to unleash the hurt, when you walk off the ground your ashes fluke will feel like a world away!!!! Aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi :happy

Good performance guys... our bowling was good and batting was superb as well... but don't get carried away as this was only a practice match. The real thing is yet to come... so keep focused and perform as best as you can...
