Cricketics Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Any fans of good bowling should be enjoying how Hilfy is bowling rite now. Really making it hard to score runs. Even in the first test he had bowled pretty well. I think this is going to be his career changing tour. He is going to run through the english players in Ashes just after learning so much from this 2 match series. Great bowling today so far.
Ultimate_Game Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Good bowler but just a little bit slow to trouble top class batsmen. Even though he's getting the ball to swing the batsmen are able to adjust. This is why Bollinger and Johnson are more dangerous IMO as they have enough pace to beat the batsmen.
Holysmoke Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 He is a good bowler when it is swinging/reversing. Otherwise he is easy. On the other hand, Mitchell doesnt know how to swing it still..:hehe:

He doesn't waste the new ball and forces the batsman to play every ball. The few short deliverues that he gave to Vijay juuuust outside the offstump were simply marvelous. Any one of those could have claimed Vijay's wicket. I'll be really interested in seeing how he does in the Ashes. All the best to him to run through the English side during that series!
ZodiaC Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Best Aussie bowler currently. Unlike MJ the lucky dawg.
The Dark Horse Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Was always making the batsmen play, is a far bettr bowler than Johnson, IMO
The Realist Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 He's a decent bowler, nothing amazing. On the tour to England last year in favourable bowling conditions he was not exactly running through the batting. An honest but limited bowler.

With the new ball, there is his outswinger and then his off cutter. While he is not as bad as Johnson in making the batsmen play the ball, he is not one of those who tries and attacks the stumps. His stock ball pitches on or just outside the off stump and goes further away. And I really do not expect him to run through any sides at all.... There, I have said it, and he just might end up doing exactly the opposite :).
cowboysfan Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 very good complement to bolly and mj but i would still consider siddle for the 3rd seamer on bouncier pitches in australia.
Sid Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 bowled well in mohali also,will trouble the poms in the ashes
