Not the Redbacks anymore... in name anyway

[hey shorty]

Will be a challenge for the selectors.

We've taken our battery of tall quicks who are successful in Australia to England for the last four tours and have lost every time.

Will we go with a horses for courses attack in 2019?

If James Anderson and Vernon Philander have taught us anything, And it appears they haven't, it's that a solid pace with movement troubles even the best batsman.

How fast is Winter?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How fast is Winter?

Not very, 125-130km/hr

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not very, 125-130km/hr

Would that end realistic hopes of playing at the highest level?

It's a niche role he plays. Suited to into the wind bowling, Duke ball, Eng or NZ conditions. Possibly pink ball tests. Adds variety to an attack.

I hope we don't close the door on that type of bowler.

But yes there's a danger he gets overlooked simply because he's just over average height and not quick.

I remember Bob Simpson saying that he thought a left armer who could swing the ball back in would impact test cricket in a similar way Warne did. He cited Alan Davidson as an example. He thought Bruce Reid was going to be that bowler but injuries ruined him.

 

[hey shorty]

Chaminda Vaas was a slowish left armed who did OK too

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Not very, 125-130km/hr

So quicker than Terry Alderman...

 

[hey shorty]

So quicker than Terry Alderman...

Post shoulder yes, Alderman was quite swift in his youth from all reports

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Post shoulder yes, Alderman was quite swift in his youth from all reports

Yes, he was significantly quicker prior to the shoulder injury, but adjusted to cause batsman most grief post injury with the swinging ball.

 

[hey shorty]

Another 5 wickets for Winter down in Tassie.

 

[Deaneus!]

Winter's done well this summer.

 

[GreyCrow]

Winter's done well this summer.

I cant wait till he becomes a seasoned player.

 

[GreyCrow]

If he ever has a Fall I hope he can Spring back up

 

[Deaneus!]

He autumn play more often.

When he comes on to bowl, do they say there's a climate change at the southern end?

Lose 3/20 early, get a ton partnership (well, 95 as I type).

Can see what's gonna go down....

Unfortunately it's become predictable... though great effort by Head.

Good news. He talks sense. Good mix of analysis and some humour. Coaching didn't work out but he'll be good here I reckon
