Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Hazelwood is a better bowler but coming back from injury
Boland is in great form
BTW
Boland I think is 34 and a couple of years older than Josh.
Big fan of Jhye Richardson - if he can get his body right!
Neser would be good in England but I don’t rate him that highly
I would have him about 7th or 8th
Apparently there’s another WA quick who is easily the fastest bowler in Aus

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Aso it’s Boland!
I wonder if fast bowlers know that the amount of white ball cricket they play eats into their test career even as it pays the bills.
By the way Shane Watson was a pretty handy all rounder. I just don’t know why he couldn’t ‘make it’ so to speak.

You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Did Watto win 1 or 2 AB Medals… either way it’s significant
His numbers across three formats - outstanding
He was our best white ball player for 3 years
He opened the Batting Successfully in Test cricket
Took wickets in all formats
He is the most underrated and maligned cricketer I can think
If Green averages 36 you’d nearly take it.
Just checked
2 x AB Medals

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Neither, they will both be frequently free kicked for throwing the ball even though would claim they bowled it. But that too is an incorrect disposal.

Correct
He once said to an opposition captain after winning the toss
“You can have a bat… after us!”

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
If they can get through this half hour or so relatively unscathed then an inspired decision which will leave a very good Sth African attack toiling in the heat whilst the pitch should be at its best on days 2 & 3.

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
That was a road for a day 1 pitch
SA are a horrendous batting line up
No batter averages 40
4 of the top 6 average in the 20s
It had zero to do with the pitch or toss, more to do with s*** batting (and running)
Australia should score 400

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Better their batsmen face our atrack on the first morning than ours face theirs. Good call at the toss. Now for our batsmen to cash in on what should be an even better "road" tomorrow & Wednesday if they are any good.

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Which wicket in the SA innings was because of a day 1 pitch?
Aus would be 4/300+
If they batted first
Toss irrelevant when you compare batting line ups

Very handy test player, would have been nice if he converted a few more 50s
Symonds an underrated Test all rounder too

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Then why the need to bang on about always bat first? Isn't it a better decision to have won the toss, bowled first and avoided a stupidly hot day(s) that would not do a fielding team any favours? Especially a team whose strength is their bowling attack.

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
Because batting first has some significant advantages
Aus would be about to declare at 500 plus if they did
Not that it makes any difference
Compare the batting line ups
Their best batter is not as good as our worst batter

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
I think it's time to accept it was a good decision for the conditions. The Sth African attack is cooked, we should not have to bat again.

Re: Scott Boland or Josh Hazelwood?
I never think bowling is a good call - unless it’s an absolute green top - like the Gabba
I once chose to bowl in a SF - thought there was a bit in the deck
We got a few early, then a bloke came in and swung out of his arse and got 90
We couldn’t chase 190
Never bowled first again
In this game it wasn’t a good decision - but it didn’t matter!
They couldn’t bat on concrete!
