We're a little thin in the pace stocks right now actually in terms of proven performers outside of the current incumbents, so hopefully Harris can hold up. Haven't been following much re state cricket recently, what's Doug Bollinger doing?
We're not thin at all IMO. We have some issues with fitness in certain players but outside of the test squad we have:
James Pattinson - On the return trail now and possibly the best prospect of all our young quick bowlers. He's also a very, very good batsman who could forge a career as a bowling all rounder.
Jackson Bird - The forgotten man of our great group of quick bowlers. This bloke averages 20 in first class cricket and has excelled in tests when given the opportunity.
Doug Bollinger - Test selectors went cold for a long time because of the day he cooked himself in Adelaide. He's someone who could come in and perform if need be, but will probably never get the call.
Ben Hilfenhaus - Unfashionable and will never be genuinely world class but he's like 8th or worse in line and we know he's capable of performing.
Nathan Coulter-Nile Injured at the moment but has raw pace and has been wreaking havoc at the WACA for years.
Jason Behrendorf Another tall, fast left hander who has done nothing but impress since his first class debut.
There is one facet of cricket we aren't struggling with and that's seam bowlers.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.
