OK cricket fans who would you like to see in the team for the next test
Tate or Gillespie ?
personally, i’m a fan of Gillespie he’s served the country well and been a tremendous bowler. But his form is terrible and Tate deserves a go, he’s the future of cricket in Oz, let him learn from Mcgrath before he retires. So for me its Tate
Michael Kasporwich should be in the team in my opinion, he has out-performed Gillespie over the past year. It’s really hard to see Gillespie returning to form.
David Gower, Mike Gatting, Graham Gooch, Mike Atherton to name a few were all born outside of the UK but didnt stop them playing for England.
Thinking about it Clive Rathbone, Tatiana Gregorvitch and a the new Bulgarina Discus thrower aren’t locals are they. Oh yes sorry i fogot about the rest of the Wallaby team as well.
I would love to see Tait get a run. I hate to see Gillespie pushed out of the team, but I think its time to bring in some fresh payers. Kasper is a great bowler but I think Australia’s long term outlook would requires the replacement not to be another 30+y/o in the last few years of their career.
Todays Tele (Sydney) has Ponting saying kasper is his choice.
Reason, lee provides the fire, Mcgrath & Warne the accuracy & experience.
This leaves one place for a toiler to hold up an end (kasper)
Mo Mathews wants Magilla Gorilla ( Mo speak for Magill ) but he would being a spinner.
What does the Trentbridge pitch do?
A lot of runs for the bats I think
I would like to see Shaun Tait continue on he looks very promising, his line and length after the tea break was excellent and his first test wicket the inswinger that bowled Trescothick was pure magic.
