Jones The Bowl

[unrepentant]

Good to see Simon Jones back and bowling fast in the Hants v Worcs one dayer tonight. In his first spell of 6 overs he was very fast and hostile (fastest ball 91mph) and was also in the batsmans faces which was good to see. It would be great if he has a full season and is then fit and ready to face the convicts next year. The Aussie batsmen dont like it up em and they don't like bowlers with attitude and the firepower to back it up and Jones has both. Lets hope he stays fit and is ready for combat when they arrive

I'll see your Jones and raise you a Lee, Johnson and McGill.

Should add that I'd like to see a more competitive series than the last time your lot were over here, I think 4.1 our way should do it nicely.;)

Well McGill just announced his retirement. Lee has a pretty ordinary record against England, 62 wickets at 40.61 in 18 tests, 29 in 10 at 45.44 in England. Johnson is just ordinary. Sarwan and Shiv showed how undemanding your attack is yesterday. In fact it's so ordinary that there is talk of Warney being asked to don the whites one last time next year....

Fair call on the attack in this test it was ordinary to say the least, much underdone and trying too hard to make up for the absolute tripe that McGill was bowling.

McGill bowled a mixture of half trackers and fullies, at best landed one in twenty.

At his best he always bowled a four ball an over but now just rubbish, I suspect that he didn't get the outcome all were hoping for from his operation.

I think that Doug Bolinger and Nathan Bracken will do well in the next ashes tour if fit, spin though is a real problem now with McGill obviously not being able to compete and his resultant retirement.

Warney will be back for the Ashes, as sure as eggs is eggs. The bd.
