Webster bowling reminds me a bit of Watto with the slow medium's that shape

 

[dogs105]

Webster bowling well, he reminds me more of Tom Moody than Joel Garner, no shame in being compared to Tom Moody though.

1999 World Cup Tom Moody, or early 90s test player Tom Moody?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Why are we talking about Mitch Marsh. We finally got rid of him ffs.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah i don't remember a drop between 1988 and 2010

I know it's a pisstake but the fielder's in those teams.

Waugh, Taylor, Symonds, Ponting, Clarke, Hayden etc. We had elite fielder's all over the place

It was a glorious time

 

[beatnik]

As a kid id never see a dropped catch by the Aus team now days they putting several down every bowling innings

Yeah and everything had a nice rose-coloured tint to it back then…why doesn’t everything have that same tint nowadays?

Watto was pushing 140 clicks at his peak. Not even in the same planet of bowlers.

Watto was far more than slow mediums.

Bloke was basically a frontline bowler in his prime, bowling 140s - still haven't had as good a pace allrounder since him in our test team imo. Hoping Green can come close.

 

[Gammalite]

Bring in the BIG SHOW . he takes some good catches. Glenn is Fun to watch batting too.

No, and no.

Yeah completely different. Webster is relying his height and some movement where as watto was definitely more speed.

 

[dogs105]

Peter Taylor, Dean Jones, David Boon, Geoff Marsh, Allan Border, Mike Veletta, Brad Hogg

Some excellent fielders in the 80s and 90s

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Pant copping the full Brian Close treatment.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Gutsy knock from Pant

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Another in the nurries

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahahaha next one in the nuts please

 

[Cataholic]

Another time out......

 

[Coasters7]

The carry on from this bloke

Watson was fast at the start of his career but his body couldn’t cope with it. He finished up bowling medium pace swing and seam

 

[Jimthegreat]

Love the sound of the "bonk" on the box when it hits them in the nuts....lol.

 

[Visions]

Pant will need to pad up like the Michelin man in the tea break considering how much he is getting hit on the body.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Oh mate pant is going "why me?"

 

[cats_09]

Does Pant understand that the bat in his hands is meant to be used to hit the ball

 

[Black Diamond]

As a kid id never see a dropped catch by the Aus team now days they putting several down every bowling innings

That is because under Taylor and S Waugh we used to practice catching ruthlessly. Both were heavily influenced by Bob Simpson and supported by Marsh and Buchanan.

No other captain-coach combo has done the same.
