Will these back-to-back michelles give him a look in to the Test squad in New Zealand?

Has been a consistent Shield performer for the last few years since his final year in SA, and his mastery of swing has been the most impressive thing. Has good pace too. Today he was hooping it all over the place, while Siddle simply couldn't get the ball to move at all. Looked a class above.

What happens to Rhino from here? Predictions?
 
no problem with him being in the squad and putting some pressure on. dont get carried away with people moving a white ball around though. But hey, he has been fantastic and deserves a go.

And I thought Ryan Harris was your basic pie-chucker

Perhaps I was wrong ...
 
Been great, awesome fielder for a fast bowler but he's getting wickets against a "D" grade world cricket team.
 
Don't get your hopes up, Rhino will be dropped even if he takes another 5 wicket haul, that's just the way of the Aussie selectors, they just pick favourites, clearly Rhino is a more dangerous ODI bowler than Siddle, gets the ball to swing and has more pace, but they love Siddle

And Siddle can't? :rolleyes:

outabounds: same for the "swinging the white ball" comment.

Most cricket followers know how the white ball performs and know the quality of the opposition (which isn't "D" grade BTW)...

what people are saying here is both Siddle and Harris are using the same ball and playing the same team... and Harris looks a better option.
 
Loved his stuff last night and on the 26th, not sure about seeing him play test matches though.
 
Fact is, Siddle's record in ODI's is plain awful, and he doesn't really deserve to retain his spot.

If Rhino performs in FC cricket between now and NZ, he deserves a squad spot at the next level too.
 
Should definitely be retained in all the ODI's - his performances ares still 1st rate - even given the opposition.

however - his shield performances haven't been exactly leaping off the pages.

it's a tough one picking our best odi bowling line-up (when fit) - arguably the only test bowler in the ODI line-up would be hauritz

I'd still have lee, bracken, hauritz as our best odi bolwers. The difficulty is picking the 4th bowler as there are a number of contenders.

Johnson, Harris, McKay all have strong claims for 4th

Exactly. The best of our ODIs and Tests are totally different. Hauritz is the only sure option at this stage...

Johnson, Hilfenhaus, Bollinger, Siddle are in contention for the test spots.

I too, would probably have Lee and Bracken as our best ODIs bowlers in any given match, if they can get back fit and show any kind of form, but there's quite a few such as Johnson, Harris, McKay, Bollinger, Siddle, Hilfenhaus who are around the team and even Hopes can be at number 8 although a specialist bowler is probably preferred with Watson opening.
Hilfenhaus and Siddle's position in the OD arena though, based on form and not selectors, are fairly shaky though given the rest of the competition.

Yeah well I don't see Harris running in hard all-day, showing terrific aggression and stuff.

I first saw Harris as a 17 year old in SACA Grade cricket, and the thing that impressed me most was his ability to give everything he had for the entire day's play, and in those days playing hours were the same as Test cricket.

He bowled something like 26-27 overs that day, all of them at full effort, and his last spell was as quick as his first. I saw Gillespie also as a 17 year old, and I rated Harris a better bowler at the same age.

At the moment, I don't think Harris is as fit as he could be, but continued selection in the Australian team would change all that.
 
I reckon judging by his body language yesterday Siddle is definately feeling the pinch. With ryan harris 5fer's, and bollinger, mackay etc. one would think bracken will comeback into the squad when fit and also johnson its likely siddle will miss the cut.

same could be said for test level, bollinger,johnson and watson getting the big wickets. when hilf is fit siddle will have to perform or its back to the little league.

I had to laugh last night at hauritz i reckon thought he had the MOM sewn up with the second last wicket then harris come through with the 5fer. to be fair hauritz had a good all round game so maybe a bit of hard luck for him.

ok a little off topic - allan border medal i reckon watson will be the favourite, he will naturally think its his, but there will be a darkhorse in the room i reckon maybe katich that will get it. the princess will leave the ball(room) in tears - brilliant. cricket is not about best and fairest its about hard luck.
 
WTF? Why was there a need to bag Watson for no reason at all? You're a tool.

Hauritz had a pretty poor bowling performance, by the way.

Siddle hasn't looked like taking wickets in ODIs, he should be dropped. Doesn't do anything with the ball when others are swinging it at will. Straight up and down will only get you so far.

Even then Hauritz hasn't really been impressive with the ball in the OD's so far, and Bracken wasn't in great form before the injury.......

he's had a couple of poor peformances - but has been good for a while!!

I think aaron heal would be sniffing an ODI call-up if they think Haury needs a rest. Howver - smith is likely to get the gig given he is only 21

Yet he can't even pocket a wicket a game after 15 games, and has a poor average and strike-rate.

15 matches, 14 wickets is not what you want from your opening bowler.

He's not a good ODI bowler, and took a couple of lucky wickets last night.
 
Harris has been looking brilliant thus far. He's bowled with pace, moved the ball, bowled fairly well at the death and has caused a few problems with bounce.

I'm not exactly sure why Siddle is continuing to bowl in ODI's. He's injury prone as it is and rarely takes enough wickets to justify his place. His ER is reasonable, but you expect your new-ball bowler to strike quickly. He rarely does.

I like Bracken, but he is in his early 30's already and has been out of the game for quite a while. Besides, apart from Siddle, you really couldn't drop anyone from this ODI team as it is - especially not Bollinger, who has been much more effective than Bracken was before he got injured.

I think Spikey was being facetious?
 
I would rather keep Harris in QLD colours - we have two titles were are in the running for!

Seriously though, Siddle isn't a one day bowler. Let him play for Victoria to get some form at least. Siddle is still there at the moment because of injuries to Hilf, Bracken etc.
