I think Australia have the best tail end in test cricket at the moment... What does everyone think?
-
Yeah, your not wrong. Though the English Tail wags too. Some one has to score our runs!
-
They are playing the Windies...
-
England's tail is Anderson plus one.
Australia seem to be giving anyone a game at the moment between 7-11, so it's hard to judge really ... ;)
-
I have to disagree, I think that England's is far more competent with Bresnan, Broad, Swann and Anderson
-
I think Harris , Starc, Hilfenhaus and Lyon is a pretty good tail... Throw Pattinson and Siddle into the mix and I think that's pretty impressive

On the other hand, Broad has a test ton and 8 50s, Swann has 4/5 (not sure which), and Bresnan averages 40 in Test Cricket! I'd take them over the Aussie tail, although to be able to at least hold the bat at 11 must be nice, when we have Finn/Monty it all seems a bit Chris Martin, although if you play Bres Broad Swann Jimmy, it looks much better! SA do well too, Steyn/Morkel can bat, and Philander has a few FC tons. NZ get by as well, Chris Martin aside of course!

Australia definitely has the player who bats best with the tail in Mike Hussey.

That's probably a fair call, although Danny V does a decent job. SL have the worst, in Thilan Samaraweera, God he is poor with the tail! Angelo Mathews a close second!
-
Danny V IS the tail! Although his record is pretty decent I can't believe NZ have allowed him to be recognised as a top 6 batsman - one of the ugliest techniques out there!

Once he's in line he's textbook...

Where as the phrase 'in line' means NOTHING to Danny V!
-
Atleast English batsmen run they're bats into the crease. Unlike Mitch Starc!
-

True that! Very true! Danny can still bat though, he just has his own way of doing things! Haha
-
Hillfy batted brilliantly to enable Wade to get his century. Starc also put in a solid effort. The tail wags again!
-
Windies were poo though...
-
Australia have the best tail in the match they are playing right now, but against grown ups there not that good...are they ;-)
BTW,
Darren Sammy... not sure he'd get into out first team, one of the worst players I've seen with bat or ball... discuss! :)
-
Sammy - good enough to play test cricket? No
Best person available to unify the West indies team and drive them on to be bigger than the sum of their parts? Possibly yes.
I've been quite surprised/impressed at how well these Windies team has competed against Australia, and I think Sammy is due some credit for that. I think Buzz posted an article on this a few weeks back.
And back on topic, theoretically England have the best tail end, but then theoretically I think they have the best top 6 too. Neither seem to have put in a decent shift recently though, so on current form it's hard to give either that plaudit
-
Sammy: best person available to do what the WICB tells him?
Most likely.
