But the so called 'correct' actions are often front on, usually meaning straight up and down bowlers who can't swing the ball, unfortunately.

Did Clark retire from test cricket?

Lillee managed to swing the ball with his corrected action

Wrist action is the main problem that swing bowling disappears

Didn't Nick Jewell retire after the Final last season?

...and where's Rogers?

yes.
knee injury.

Nick was called up as a last minute replacement...wozzies not performing too well

by Henry Sun 10 Oct 2010, 23:48

So a guy can retire but still gets called up when there's an injury? How does that work? He RETIRED.

Most of them were batsmen slogging

dubbers off to steady start...hatti, the forgotten player of Oz cricket is- 20*

George Bailey & Chris Hartley have decided to give up on this match & head for the bar. Only 31 overs bowled in four days.

11:36am: Both captains have met and have agreed to abandon the match due to the wet conditions. In this situation neither of the teams will receive points for the match

Ronald McDonald has gone crazy - currently 163* off 114 balls.

by Ross Mon 11 Oct 2010, 04:50

woof woof woof

Out two balls later.

by WideWally Mon 11 Oct 2010, 04:56

Well that was an excellent effort by me. Nearly up to JGK standard. He would have posted at 163* off 115 balls.

by JGK Mon 11 Oct 2010, 04:57

Outstanding work WW.

Do you know how many balls the Ranga took to get his ton?

by WideWally Mon 11 Oct 2010, 04:59

Maybe I will try again.

Can young Maddinson make a century on debut? Currently 79 not out.

Thank you, Your Eminence.

Sorry, I'm not sure about the Ranga question. I have both Cricinfo & the Cricket Australia site open but both seem all over the shop.

It's a shame he didn't discover this talent last week

by Henry Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:13

I didn't think McDonald had it in him to play an innings like that.

by Henry Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:14

And some teenager is approaching a century for NSW. Cue calls for his immediate selection ion the Australian team.

by WideWally Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:18

Nic Maddinson reaches his century on debut.

The current pecking order of openers for the Australian test team -
1 Katich
2 Watson
3 Hughes
4 Khawaja
5 Jaques
6 Maddinson
7 Warner

Trivia Question - What do those seven players have in common?

by Henry Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:22

Well they all play for NSW. But surely Ed Cowan has to be in there at about number 6. Oh wait...........

Musdge has fantasies about them at night?

by Henry Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:37

The Adelaide oval pitch is one of the worst in world cricket these days. Far too flat.

by Fred Nerk Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:43

When did Watson last play for NSW?

by Henry Mon 11 Oct 2010, 05:52

I'm not sure he's actually played for them yet. Just like Johnson has been with WA for 2 years but hasn't yet turned out for them.
