Australian bowling attack has been "exposed"

[ZenBowman]

How come nobody has made a thread of this sort? They just let Kenya, the worst team among the minnows, make 264 for the loss of only 6 wickets. Out of which three of those wickets were run-outs.

That means all-in-all, this amazing bowling attack only took three wickets in 50 overs. Looks like you guys are applying inconsistent standards to when someone's bowling attack is "exposed".



P.S.
I agree India has a poor bowling attack, but this is directed at some of the knee-jerk reactions whenever a high score is not defended. It has a lot to do with the playing conditions, which are way too batsman-friendly.

An unwanted article. Indian attack is just above Bangladesh. Australian attack is way better than them. If it has a lot to do with the playing conditions, then the conditions are similar for all the teams.

Australian attack is very good - they just had a bad day.

[PakCrikNeedsFixin]

They haven't been exposed. They have the best attack for me.

Obuya was clever by standing deep in his crease and playing them. This is the way for Pak to go.

[James]

Nope. They'll be back against Pakistan and will embarrass England one last time in the quarters.

[90MPH]

Not too sure if it is exposed as Kenya were not going after 325 target. If they were then would have been bundled out before 200 I reckon.
Lets not forget (its no excuse) that Australia have hardly played in the last 2 weeks either.

[umerz]

They did good enough to win the game and this is what they have been doing for years. I don't see much of an issue with their bowling attack

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan too would have lost it against south africa and england. Pakistan's bowling is overrated.

[srh]

what do you expect if you make roads in the name of pitches?

[ZenBowman]

A lot of you have missed the point, obviously the Aussie bowling attack is very good, yet they took only three wickets in 50 overs and conceded a lot of runs. The post is addressed at the knee-jerk reactionaries who claim that a team is immediately exposed when the opposition makes a big score.

The pitches are simply too batsman-friendly, blaming bowling attacks in these conditions is pointless.

[Free Hit]

agree with the op, only until saturday game against pakistan, pakistan batting

[Energy]

Would'nt call it 'exposed' at all. Can happen against associates when you know you've already won the game and you're just going through the paces. The Aussies have a very good pace attack but after that, have literally no genuine bowler making them a little vulnerable against good oppositions.

[Khan6575]

Right on! It takes one game for a team to go from "hot favorites" to exposed. Get real people give them a couple of games before you EXPOSE their so called called weakness to the entire world, in the process of exposing Australia you might end up exposing your knowledge of the game to everyone.


p.s Just yesterday their was a thread about how Australia are the hot favorites for this world cup.

That's what England do. Except they forget to do the win the game bit as well...

Bhai if that was the case then my post just enhanced your point to a whole new level. Why are you attacking my sarcasm? Not fair yaar.

p.s What matters is the title, the rest is just blah, blah, blah got to work on your title skills, more catchy would do the trick.

Then dont say that Australia's bowling has been exposed. Change the title of your thread to "Kenyan batsmen impress agianst the aussie attack on batsmen friendly pitches of wc 2011".

[Savak]

Didnt Aussie pace attack destroy the NZ team a few days ago? They were just taking it easy against the Kenyan side who werent putting any pressure on them what so ever.

"exposed" is a word trademarked for Indian bowling only

[shaykh1985]

Its easy to switch off when there is no chance of the opposition winning and when the opposition isnt attempting to win...

[enigmatic_stani]

Awful OP. The Aussies havent played for a while and they obviously werent too geared up for this game. 33 games unbeaten and counting in WC. An amazing record that wont be passed for a very very long time.

[SameerP]

They are just rusty after being out of action for quite some time, Brett lee seems to be in great form.

[Decipher]

By the same logic Pakistan's attack was also exposed in the game against NZ.

[KSaeed]

Seemed to me like a one off because the bowlers were just mentally switched off. They just considered the game in the park and payed the price. They'll be switched on and back to their usual high standards against us on Saturday.

[tahaqureshi]

Why don't people see what the OP is trying to do?

He clearly DOESN'T see the Aussie bowling as being exposed. Rather, he's using sarcasm.

Get with it dudes!

Sorry mate but sarcasm is really hard to pick up in a post on a forum

[freelance_cricketer]

Badly exposed, Kenya scoring 260 is a joke, that too thanks to 3 run outs.

Man,, Aussie bowling is worse than ours !!!!!

Tum to mujhse bhi bure runner ho yaar

Haha true true.

[Amjid Javed]

Aussies bowling attack is based on its three fast bowlers! The spinners are merely there to make up the numbers. It maybe a plan that gets exposed but end off day Aussies dont have a warne or even a brad Hogg in their team to do a job!

Pretty much Lee, MJ and Tait are expected to do most of damage for Aussies early on so that spinners can get away with cheap overs while teams rebuild!

England will be going home in 1st round ;)
