Sean Bradley Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 These are the two players who stuck enormous form in the recent ODI series against India, and are the most unexpected selection in the Ashes Squad. I enjoy watching George Bailey bat, especially his attitude towards batting is reminiscent to Michael Hussey's. Can George Bailey make an impact on this Aussie Batting Line up and fill the Michael Hussey Void? Here's an interesting feed from Cricinfo. Australia have not won a Test since Michael Hussey's retirement in January, and since the start of the last Australian summer, the only team they have beaten in a Test is Sri Lanka.
Number Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Bailey :fail: looked terrible. Poor technique too.
Soorma_Bhopali Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Bailey :fail: looked terrible. Poor technique too. Give him at least 3 continuous tests . He seemed to be overeager adn nervous . He modified his normal stance to cover for the swing . If he settles down andkeep his cool , he will be a decent no.6 batsman for Oz.:whack:
vvvslaxman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 johnson is australia's ashwin :hmmm: Johnson is a very poor player against off spinners. Especially when they have things like doosra. But in Australian pitches he can bat well against them.
Old guy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Johnson is a very poor player against off spinners. Especially when they have things like doosra. But in Australian pitches he can bat well against them. its not like ashwn is any better :P
vvvslaxman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 its not like ashwn is any better :P Ashwin is a better batsman than Johnson any day. He has technique of a specialist batsman. Johnson is poor man's vettori.
Old guy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Ashwin is a better batsman than Johnson any day. He has technique of a specialist batsman. Johnson is poor man's vettori. maybe but johnson has played some epic innings specially against south africa i rate them as equal :D
vvvslaxman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 maybe but johnson has played some epic innings specially against south africa i rate them as equal :D He is a much better slogger on surfaces that don't assist spin much. But surviving and scoring runs against good bowling Ashwin is definitely better.
Old guy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 He is a much better slogger on surfaces that don't assist spin much. But surviving and scoring runs against good bowling Ashwin is definitely better. ashwin has mainly scored runs at home too lets see how he does in south africa
fineleg Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Mj will struggle on spin pitches Ash will struggle on SA pitches, wont score in sa
Old guy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Mj will struggle on spin pitches Ash will struggle on SA pitches, wont score in sa agree
vvvslaxman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 ashwin has mainly scored runs at home too lets see how he does in south africa Didn't Ashwin score a 62 in Australia? In chennai with Dhoni he put on a 100 partnership against good bowling right?
Old guy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Didn't Ashwin score a 62 in Australia? one off and its not like track was doing anything those were flat conditions like today if johnson struggles against spin than lets see what ashwin does against swing :two_thumbs_up: till then to me they are very equal as batsmen
vvvslaxman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 one off and its not like track was doing anything those were flat conditions like today if johnson struggles against spin than lets see what ashwin does against swing :two_thumbs_up: till then to me they are very equal as batsmen one guy averages 21 another guy averages 43..lol no way they are equal. He also scored 31, 30 at the MCG
Old guy Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 one guy averages 21 another guy averages 43..lol no way they are equal. He also scored 31' date=' 30 at the MCG[/quote'] average can change so quickly i remember johnson started really well too averaged around 40 i am saying this from what i have seen..this is not one off he has played innigns like this before against big teams ..the day ashwin scores 100 against england or south africa even at home i will agree
rkt.india Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Ashwin is far better batsman and can bat in top 56 of this Aussie team. Johnson is just a slogger who can play a good innings here and there ala Bhajji.
vvvslaxman Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 average can change so quickly i remember johnson started really well too averaged around 40 i am saying this from what i have seen..this is not one off he has played innigns like this before against big teams ..the day ashwin scores 100 against england or south africa even at home i will agree My argument is theer is already comparison of Ashwin with some of our own top order batsman. Infact lot of similarities between him and Laxman. he is already being compared with specialist batsman. At junior level he has 25 centuries as opener.His technique and timing vindicates that.
