Linkage?

Good to see Rogers taking it to the Aussies.

Interestingly but not suprisingly Dizzy seems to be struggling a bit, would be interesting to see how Brett Lee goes for the rest of this tour match.

CLJ Rogers c Kasprowicz b Lee 56 80 balls S.R 70

Lee 11overs 3/39

 

[spookism]

Lee is looking more and more likely to be the number two bowler. The pressure's right on Dizzy and Kaspa.

I personally reckon Dizzy will get the spot, but if he doesn't perform in the first two tests or Lee returns to his old ways (could be likely) Kaspa will be back in.


Or better still - bring in Tait!

 

[usalion]

Nice to see Lee bowling in a regular match....can't argue with 3 wickets- and bowling is what needed to be sorted out. Still have my doubts on him at test level, though....

 

[bunsen burner]

12th man
Kaspa

Why?

The most important exercise is to get Kaspa and Gillespie bowling long spells to both find form and assess their form.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Leics - 212/6 - Current batters: Gibson 26, Masters 14

Kaspa 1/42 after 12
MacGill 1/61 after 16.2
Lee 4/53 after 14
Dizzy 0/38 off 9 tch

Should get them for 280ish.

Only Aussies could get excited about Lee getting wickets against a ********ty county team

 

[Rough_Edges]

I'm not excited, the only reason i decided to take note of this match was because of Dizzy, and wanted to see if he could bowl any good atm i suppose he isn't gonna be anygood in this match.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Dizzy wicket, finally.
1/39 off 10.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Another wicket for Dizzy but it means nothing and am quite disapointed by the way he has bowled today.

Picked up late wickets.

 

[Cooldude]

Unfortunately Dizzy is just really, really off atm.

No longer about how his stats look now, it's the way he's bowling: Just no zip, no confidence, no energy.

Would not be surprised if Ponting plays favourites and keep him in, but the way he's bowling, he shouldn't be.

Look forward to him ripping through the English Test side.

Genuinely quick bowlers always do well in England

 

[Rough_Edges]

Time for a break, Jason.

Lee did mediocre last time he was there. Yes he only recovered from injury that time as well.

 

[eddiesmith]

Just for some small perspective, Leicestershire are technically the 3rd worst county team in England, being 3rd last comfortably in division 2

Yet they'd still probably beat England.

Oh so kind of like Victoria.

Who are only Marginally better than SA and Tas.

Hayden is very bored.....Just smashes the ball into the grandstand.

 

[YOTC]

Hayden out for 75....Clarkey out for 9 lol!!!

 

[eddiesmith]

Clarkey failed against Englands 3rd worst team? That is funny stuff, lucky for him he has his get of jail free card, the baggy blue cap

9 against Leicestershire....thast probably enough to suggest he'll massacre the English attack.
