I'd ship him right now, he's fat and bowling 3 half-volleys an over. It's tough to watch.

BUT HE MIGHT BOWL 160KM/H!!!

Or something. The ironic part is that I had the 'pleasure' of listening to the most boring conversation ever between he and Rofe a little while ago where he was talking about how much weight he'd dropped by cutting OJ out of his diet.

I remember you mentioning it before actually, guess he must have started back up then...

Ross Taylor playing for Vics?

Lack of work even for Sturt would be a big contributor. Has barely bowled for them at all this year.

You rarely hear anything about who he hangs out with too, bit of a loner. Reckon even if fit and fast, he'd be a doubtful starter. Don't think he and Manou are the best of buds.

EDIT: Just found the grade stats, don't make for pretty reading;

No way should he be playing for SA at any level, tbh.

DAMNNNN, that bad huh?. Well i dont know what to say, it would be criminal if he doesn't get himself back in order though..

IIRC 6 or 7 years ago Tait was bowling in Adelaide 'C' grade.

 

[James90]

6 or 7 years ago, Phil Hughes was playing U14s. What's your point?

 

[NUFAN]

Anyone else heading to the Big Bash today?

It's overcast, pretty hopeful that the game will go ahead still. Looking at the Vic squad, they'd have to be favourites for sure.

Well the fact that Corey was saying how Tait is struggling to keep is SA FRC place, and now he barely bowls for his club suide. Leads me to belive that aside from his pace, he was never that good to begin with. So I took it to read that his pace got him up through the ranks pretty quickly. So I don't see how Phil Hughes has to do with anything.

Or disregard what I said because it is a load of ****.

 

[James90]

In other news...I'm keen for some Reardon fireworks tonight.

 

[Riggins]

Despite the seemingly indifferent results in grade cricket IMO he remains a class above the other guys pushing for his spot, although his form is not really close to his best at the moment it hasn't been terrible. Also his results in the grade 2020 comp were pretty good.

This pitch id doing too much.

What kind of target do you think the Vics should be looking to set?

 

[mikeW]

Around 130-140 is enough imo.

 

[shivfan]

Bravo's hitting sixes and fours....

 

[Jayzamann]

Taylor and Bravo proving to be great value.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, Vics done well with their internationals. Geez, their batting line-up is just about as good as any assembled for a Twenty20 team, IMO.

Batting right down to 10.

 

[shivfan]

QUeensland are four wickets down already....

Is it all up to Roy now?

 

[James90]

And rain takes them off the field.

Queensland had to be 124 and instead they're 121 but they're appealing a decision earlier in the match where Dunk was caught on the boundary, Hastings threw it back in and it was given 1 instead of 6.

You can't script this stuff.
