Gambit Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Cannot wait for the 4 tests! Especially the one at the WACA. I hope and pray that the pitch will be restored to the beast it used to be and not the severely neutered version we have seen of late. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I would play: Hayden Hussey Ponting Clarke Hodge Symonds Gilchrist Lee Clark Hilfenhaus MacGill They will probably play: Hayden Jaques Ponting Clarke Hussey Symonds Gilchrist Lee Clark Tait MacGill Who is hilfenaus? Macgill will be buffet bowling for us. He also is cr#p fielder and extends the tail. O for warne:haha: Tait is wild, Symonds un proven in tests, Clarke not yet the real deal and Jacques also totally un proven. Also Gilchrist and Hayden may be to old and playing 1 year to long. Is aussie domination over? Link to comment
Gambit Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Magilla will be roasted. Hilfenhaus was given the most promising youngster award at the Aussie Cricket Awards IIRC. Link to comment
CC1981 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Aussie batting is still formidable though their stars are aeging just like ours- what we have to watch out is the predictable Aussie trap where they goad us into machismo and bowling 'short and fastish' and then clobber our pacers- pitch it up, get the ball to bend back into the rightie and Aussies will be in trouble. Ponting, Clarke (he is an extremely good player of spin, IMO) and Hussey are the main dangermen of this batting juggernaut. I HOPE they play McGill and Lee- some free runs would be welcome but we gotto be wary of Tait/hilfenhaus and clark- clark is a slightly diminished McGrath clone & India always bolloxes up against bowlers it faces for the first time/unknown bowlers so Tait should be treated with respect, not 'another newbie' syndrome. How many times has India been wrecked by 'another newbie' ? But this series is still far away and lets not even THINK about this one- India-Pakistan is up before this series and IMO, thats what we should be focussing on now- f*ck Aussie series for now.

The Outsider Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I would love it if they play Tait, Lee, and MacGill. Ponting will be bowling his dibbly dobblies before lunch in that scenario. Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Clarke not yet the real deal and Do you mean Michael Clarke ? This kid killed India when Australia toured in 2004. Scored 150 on debut at Bangalore to power Australia to a commanding total and then came up big with two top class knocks at Nagpur which knocked the stuffing out of the Indian bowlers. He can play.

Donny Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Who is hilfenaus? Ben Hilfenhaus opens the bowling for Tasmania. He's 24 and 1.86 m tall. Right arm fast medium. Mainly outswing. From 11 matches, he took 60 wickets @ 25.38 in last season's Pura Cup which Tasmania won for the first time. Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Action looks a bit similar to that of Damien Fleming, minus the leap of course. If he is anywhere near as good as Flem was, he has a bright future ahead of him Link to comment

A sree beamer or ZK around the wicket beauty will sort this wannabe out Link to comment
