SachDan Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Its unfortunate that MacGill won't be playing because we can easily make some quick runs of him and he is no threat what so ever.I think our batsmen will find it hard to play the chinaman bowler.Hogg has had a good ODI series in India and his confidence will be sky high.

Guest dada_rocks Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 One day and test are different bowl game altogether.. Hoggy will be toothless there Link to comment

praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 aussies have been trying to figure out a replacement to warne, which looks to me as an impossible mission... atleast they can try out an option this series.... lets see how hogg does... he is a good bowler, but in tests against a batting line-up where Yuvi is struggling to find a place, its completely different-ball-game...

Lurker Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hogg made his Test debut against India about 10 years back. Nayan Mongia scored a century in that game. Of course Hogg has improved quite a bit in LOI but I would still be doubtful about his success against India in Test. Link to comment

praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 they tried out a crappy fast leg spinner also after that.. right??? forgot his name... probably would have tried to follow the kumble lines.... Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I fondly remember Hogg's last test at the SCG v. Zimbabwe. Nice turning pitch, so much so that Simon Katich effectively turned into a second spinner. Kat picked up a six for in the second innings. Hogg picked up considerably less. Ha. Link to comment
Ram Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 That 96 test match will be remembered for Azhar's brilliant one-handed catch he took off Michael Slater and the David Johnson chucking his way to to that wicket. How Aus managed to allow Mongia to score a century is still beyond my reason. Link to comment
Gambit Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 ^^ It was also SRT's first test as captain. Link to comment
Ram Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 ^^ To add on, I think it was Ganguly's third test. There was lot of hype on whether he would be able to score century since he scored 2 100s in his previous tests against Eng. IIRC, he was caught in the slips of a spinner. Link to comment
Lurker Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Another rubbish spinner called Peter McIntyre played in that game. Peter McIntyre :hysterical::hysterical: what a param faltoo bowler he was!!! Must say Australia kept chugging a bunch of cr@p spin bowlers before Warne came along. Greats like Ray Bright, Bob Holland, Peter Taylor. Then there was Tom Moody. Even Greg Matthew was cr@p except that Tied test. The only half-decent spinner before Warne chugged along was Tim May.

praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 the fast leg spinner I was talking about was probably Colin Muller... he was big flap... Link to comment
Ram Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 the fast leg spinner I was talking about was probably Colin Muller... he was big flap... Miller never bowled leg-spin. He bowled off-spin and medium pace. He was famous for two things though, -- He used to bleach his hair in all different colors -- He was one of Darren Gough's hat-trick victims, bowled neck and crop.

praveenj Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 oh... thanks.... I was wondering about this as well... aussies never had variety in their spin bowling right?? i don't know if they are going in a correct path right now for the future... ponting may seriously want his-dear-watson to bowl off-spinners, which can help three reasons: 1) Watson can stay in the team 2) He can work less and lessen his chances of getting injured... 3) Some variety at last to their spin dept...
