2ND TEST WI V AU
Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 5:24 pmFIRST TEST SUMMARY
Phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
AU won the first test
Its hard for international sides to win the 1st test of each series
Too often touring teams are underdone and lacking in match practice.
In the past AU teams have a good record o/s in the first test, mainly due to the freakishly great teams.
When sides come to AU were give them a trouncing at the Gabba
AU is still on top and have a tenious grip on the number1 mantle
With so many underdone and inexperienced touring players that 1st test was a worry
SECOND TEST PREVIEW
Welcome back an underdone Mick Clarke
Looks like Hussey might have to open so Hodge can keep his spot in the midde order
Hodgey is a good player of pace
The KAT would also be better suited in the middle order
AU will rely on the speedSTARS CLARK and his assistant LEE
If the WI can somehow see these 2 off then they could make a good total
History shows if opposition sides can keep the worlds Number 1 quick in Doc CLARK at bay they can make big totals
MACGILL /MJ needed the run 1st test and can improve this test
Examples of 400+ totals v AU since CLARK has played
EG 6/551.. CLARK 3/75
SL 410..... CLARK 1/103
IN 532..... CLARK 1/80
IN 526..... CLARK 0/92
THE CHAMP HAS
76 WICKETS
15 TESTS
20-77 AVE
Only 4 AU bowlers have had a LOWER BOWLING AVE in reaching 75 test wickets in history
Of the batting
we have 7 players capable of scoring runs
a couple of them usually do and we make the runs
MY TIP
AU in 4 days
