spain82 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Unlucky chaps! I was biting my nails when you's got it to under 80 runs, by break of lunch I thought for sure you'd go onto win it.  Until, just as the players ran back out and everyone started singing. Trent bridge lifted! Great opening test... Going to be a great summer of cricket!    3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Which isn't often, the selector's aren't going to just call up players to the squad because they can, it doesn't work like that, regardless if they can, it would just be embarrassing on their part. Don't see how Fawad Ahmed will be called up over Agar, give the kid a chance on a pitch renown for turning, he's had hardly anything to work with, he's 19 and he's not Graeme Swann, if you were to drop him now it would just be stupid, if he doesn't perform at Old Trafford then yeah, he'll probably go back to FC Cricket for a little longer, but dropping him now when he's bowled on Day 1 and Day 3 pitches renown for seamers where it's also been dry, hot and sunny would just be fucking retarded.

sikre Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Of course they have to drop Haddin, he offers nothing else better than Wade and he's heaps older. As for the top order we should play batsmen that actually have a good enough technique to play against top class bowlers. Players like Bailey and Voges should be in instead of Smith and maybe Hughes (if they want a younger player they should bring in Alex Doolan from tassie) And it's almost certain Agar won't play next test.

Braveheart Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Of course they have to drop Haddin, he offers nothing else better than Wade and he's heaps older. He's made a few runs at crucial times, been one of the only blokes to show some fight and hasn't grassed any blindingly easy chances. Won't be dropped and on current form shouldn't be tbh.  Note: I think Wade should have been in the side from the start but his batting at International level has left much to be desired and his glovework was atrocious last series. Gamble and chuck T-Paine in the deep end if any change is on the cards.  And it's almost certain Agar won't play next test. Based on what? A near debutant who has made runs and held up an end as a spinning option on two pitches that give little assistance. Would be counter-intuitive to drop him for the Old Trafford game.  Can't really see Garry Lyon giving us much more in the tweaking stakes and certainly nothing more with the bat. Smith will stay in due to his part time wristies that took wickets which takes some pressure of Agar as the frontliner. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sikre Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Wade was our last person aside from Clarke to score a test 100.. I agree Pain is the best keeper in Australia but tbh he's missed his chance with injuries. Haddins keeping has been average at best. Can count atleast 3 catches/chances he has missed that ANY international keeper should take. Cricket Australia announced the Lyon is very likely to play. If we stick like this then a 5-0 loss is almost inevitable, mix it up while we still have a chance to salvage something.

kingofhearts Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Agar should've never been given a go in the first place. He's not ready yet, what's the point in putting him in the squad to get smashed around by the poms? All it will do is make his confidence go to shit, just play with an all out pace attack with Steve smith as the part-timer, or bring in that Ahmed bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not mean Haddin should be dropped because of that, they can both play.  Fucking kidding yourself if you think the bowler's are at fault for Aus being 2-0 down, they can hold their heads high with the wickets they've been given. Bowling attack doesn't need to be changed unless Agar cannot perform on a wicket renown for spinning at Old Trafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing has happened to many great cricketers let alone Aussie spinners. One S.K. Warne was taken apart at the SCG on debut by the Indians and the next season he took the poms apart. It's called a baptism of fire and instills more confidence than it does harm. Edited July 22, 2013 by Woody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sikre Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Bowling attack has made it look a lot better than it should be. But ffs agar has taken 2 wickets at an average over 100 average. Steve Smith took 4 wickets on that pitch while Agar took none. Nothing against him but he's definately not up to it ATM. Lyon is a much better option. Has coped alot of shit for only picking up the tail when he plays but that's something weve struggled with in the first 2 tests. He or Ahmad have to play.
