George Bailey-Why?
Forums → Sports Talk | 20 posts

Do we have someone one this site who knows a bit about cricket? The problem in this case is George Bailey and his current place in the Aussie team. My limited understanding is that he was/is the Tassie captain and that they’ve been going ok recently.However ,I don’t think he’s a very good player;at all and can’t understand why he gets a guernsey.

Maybe you could allow Jimmy back in.He always seemed to have the inside info on what was happening in cricket.What do you reckon Madam, we need someone who knows what they’re talking about.

His stats suggest he is pretty good http://www.cricket.com.au/s... he replaced Cam White as Captain, because the Bear lost form drastically, and struggled in all forms of the game compare him to Watson http://www.cricket.com.au/s... and you would go, why isn’t he skipper, well because the Watto is more injury prone than a 10 year full forward…... Long term Bailey is solid, good SR and he has good leadership, and knows how to run things out on the ground, he captained Tassie very well etc.

... Since punter left they needed a token taswegian batsman in the side?? That’s all I can come up with.
As a cricketer the Coverdrive was the hardest shot to master. As a golfer, I can achieve it with frustrating regularity. |

That’s what I actually thought.

I dont think anyone knows what is going on with the aussie sides these days. Too many “pretty boys” and not enough gorillas. But you look at shield cricket and it is isnt a surprise we are struggling to field a semi decent team. Lucky if there is 1 decent bowler in a team and the rest of medium trundling pie chuckers.

Even a myopic Koala can stumble onto a nice patch of gum-leaves occasionally;or so it seems.

I liked Bailey’s comments he said I’m not Mike Hussey nor am I Ponting he said he doubts that his spot in this side will ever be safe that means he will value it as Hussey did Finch isnt good enough IMO Bolwers have worked him out Shaun Marsh is and needs another go
Golf is only a game…Yeah right who are you kidding? |
|
Maybe Bailey explained to a few peoples why he is there with his innings…... Time will tell
|
|
Maybe he’s not too bad then.

I take it you’re not Brett Geeves then.Bailey at least acknowledges that he doesn’t look all that flash going about his work, so that’s a start.

nice innings the other night…....

Hi Simon, just wondering why you asked this question, got a considered response, with emperical data to back it up, the George in question then makes a very nice 100 later in the series, Captains the One Day Team well and you then compare this to the nocturnal wanderings of a myopic koala. It would appear that maybe you are the myopic koala….......

The problem isnt George bailey per se, but his method of selection and appointment as captain.

It would appear that you are George Bailey’s brother.That had to be one of the streakiest tons ever compiled btw.

Some of Steve Waughs greatest 100’s were streaky, I’m not suggesting George is the next Tugga, and he sure don’t bat like Jr, but his numbers stack up against Watto’s. Unfortuantely, as yesterday in Chennai showed clearly, the Selection Panel have issues. They got it wrong going in with 3 seamers, but Doherty didn’t deserve a spot on form, and neither did Maxwell. and no, George and I are not related. I’m Victorian, and would have stuck with Cam White…......
