alvaro Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Alderman swings into negative Giles Terry Alderman, the swing bowler who twice took 40 wickets in Ashes series in England, says Australia's batsmen "should go and hang themselves" if they fall to Ashley Giles this summer. England's fast bowlers impress Alderman, but he believes not having a quality spinner is a big weakness. "I couldn't believe how [Giles] got away with it in South Africa earlier this year," Alderman told the Sunday Mirror. "All he did was bowl negatively and get the batsmen frustrated." Giles, who is currently battling a hip injury, took 11 wickets in the five South Africa Tests at an average of 40.81. "The reason he is suddenly getting more wickets now is that he bowls so negatively that batsmen get fed up, hit out and give their wickets away," he said. "I definitely believe if any of our batsmen get out to Giles in the Tests they should go and hang themselves. But I'm confident that won't happen." Alderman said if the same method was tried against Australia they would "give him some stick". Giles has played only two Tests against Australia - a broken hand ruled him out of the series in Australia after the first match - and he will miss the tri-series involving Australia and Bangladesh that starts on Thursday. In 12 Tests in England in 1981 and 1989 Alderman took 83 wickets at an average of 19.33. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I take Giles has improved unbelievably since the South African tour?

Rohan Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I agree that Giles is still massively under-rated. However, even Giles himself realises that he can never be as world-class as Warne or Mutty (that's from Ashley Mallet by the way - former Aussie offie). Lara still did pretty well in the England series, although way below his usual standards as the best batsman of the past 15 or so years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
