5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

[Mofra]

Webster has always been a 120 km/h max bowler. He's doing alright right now but if he had a bit more pace he would've replaced Marsh a bit sooner

Do you think he'd be effective in English which has traditionally rewarded movement over sheer pace?

 

[eddiesmith]

I'd still pick Hazlewood in WTC final if we make it if he's fit.
Boland was pretty average in England last time.

Against England, he was actually pretty good in the WTC final in England.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

They're 6-121 and people are whinging about Webster's pace

He has been excellent with the ball, miserly and allowed our other quicks to rest

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Webster and Boland are a very handy bowling pair

 

[Xtreme]

Hazelwood who ?

Boland should stay in permanently

 

[Jimthegreat]

I don't think either of them will be playing in our next Test.

Probably not. Wonder If we'll go the 3-spin option like we did in India. All 3 were terrific there. Means we open with Starc and Webster.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol the indians look like they are flatout guessing on every boland ball

 

[Gough]

Probably not. Wonder If we'll go the 3-spin option like we did in India. All 3 were terrific there. Means we open with Starc and Webster.

Webster can bowl offies too which might be handy.

 

[Visions]

Its almost unbelievable that Carey hasn't had a catch today. Must have been at least 20 plays and misses.

 

[tugga]

This Webster guy is lollipop pace how can you be that big and bowl like a grandma?

That;s not really how bowling works bro.
Some of the quickest have been under 6ft.

 

[Hubnester]

 

[grumbleguts]

Boland averaging 13.06 in Australia currently.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Webster might bowl local 1sts cricket pace but he does get a bit of nice movement with this old rock

 

[mumblingpie]

Looks like 250 might be a good score on this pitch

 

[FreoRicci]

Hazlewood comes in and Cummins goes to all rounder. Simple. There’s enough batting depth

 

[hawkman]

Do you think he'd be effective in English which has traditionally rewarded movement over sheer pace?

It has almost switched places now. They prepare flat decks for Bazball while our pitches now have a lot life in them

 

[Plugger35]

Webster and Boland are a very handy bowling pair

Webster playing the Chatfield role to Boland's Hadlee role, he is tying down one end to let the strike bowler take the wickets.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Boland and Webster seem to compliment each other.

Webster ties up an end and Boland just puts in the right areas

 

[Jim Prideaux]

This Webster guy is lollipop pace how can you be that big and bowl like a grandma?

He’s bowled beautifully today as the extra bowler.

 

[Linda Lovelace]

I'd still pick Hazlewood in WTC final if we make it if he's fit.
Boland was pretty average in England last time.

Boland had the best figures of the pace attack in the last WTC final...

 

[Cataholic]

The way Webster is bowling I'd like to see him pitch more on an off / middle stump line.

 

[Kuuz]

In hindsight, Bumrah's choice to bat first is now a little suspect





(That being said, I do not look forward to Bumrah bowling on this - he is going to run through some wickets)

 

[Jimthegreat]

I'd still pick Hazlewood in WTC final if we make it if he's fit.

Bazball threw Boland off against England. Was terrific in the WTC Final.

Cummins has more than enough on his plate without adding the expectation of runs to it.

 

[peternorth]

Katich said he moved to NSW because it would put him closer to the establishment and get selected.

He actually said that??

Not sure, but it’s definitely good for the fringe players as above to become regulars, even Watto was another. Hodgey’s career ended when he refused an offer from NSW.
