One-hit wonder boy?

One more than Dilshan.

 

[Howsie]

One more than Dilshan.

Lol, Dilshan is alot better then Warner.

 

[silentstriker]

I don't understand, why isn't McGrath playing?

 

[silentstriker]

Goel is on fire.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Lol, Dilshan is alot better then Warner.

I'd much sooner have Warner in a 12 over game.

If it's shocking substandard slow pitch I'd quite happily include Colly for his all-round usefulness too. I'd also have McGrath ahead of Nannes.

 

[Howsie]

I don't understand, why isn't McGrath playing?

Maybe he hasn't had enough match practice. Although he would of been pretty good in these condidtions.

 

[pasag]

Lol, Dilshan is alot better then Warner.

Not in Twenty20s he isn't.

 

[JimmyGS]

Goel is on fire.

I can't believe how long it took for the commentators to realise that it wasn't Sangakkara. It was obvious as soon as they walked down the steps.

 

[TT Boy]

So plumb.

 

[Howsie]

Ha, Kartick has McGlashon's mask.

 

[Noble One]

Never understand why 120km/h medium pacers attempt to bounce the batsmen. In this format of the game, it is really poor bowling. I don't mind a bowler mixing it up, but you really need to play your percentages right.

 

[TT Boy]

AB should be keeping wicket.

Cape Town surface isn't great for 20/20 cricket. Kingsmead should be better, pace and bounce.

 

[JimmyGS]

The commentators made out that Nannes bowled absolutely rapid, around and above the 150 mark...

He's bowling mid-high 130s. Were they exagerating or is he having an off day?

 

[Howsie]

I thought Nannes was Quick.

 

[pasag]

The organisers refusing to skimp on the 7 minute break despite the prospect of losing overs is quite outstanding.

Downright unfair to the people at the ground braving the rain.

Day off. Seen him bowl 145kph for Middlesex and even quicker for Victoria.

Punjab falling apart.

Nannes when playing for Victoria can fire up into the high 140's. He can build up some serious pace. Put a young South Australian batsmen in hospital, hit many others.

Hard to judge him on a couple of overs. Wet conditions, hasn't had a proper hit-out in over a month.

 

[silentstriker]

A few stars here and there and what you've got is a novelty tournament that wears off after you've seen a few matches.

But its far more expensive to have 6-5 or 7-4 internationals. I don't see how that increased costs are worth the returns of the extra eyeballs you'd get. I agree that it would be a novelty tournament, but that's what this is.

 

[silentstriker]

McGrath getting interviewed! Why is he not playing?

 

[99*]

Who is this bowler and why is he in the side when Glenn ******* McGrath is sitting on the bench?
