I hope he hangs around. That head could give me 15+ years worth of mirth and even occasional general abuse from the stands.

As he takes 7-48 against a hapless NZ batting line up?

 

[Jono]

Please be a good match.

 

[Jono]

Deonarine to open the bowling.

Uppercut's thoughts?

 

[Jono]

Fantastic first over! Great move, and that was terrific dart bowling with the field up.

Good stuff Gayle and the rest of the think tank. Gotta keep going with it now.

 

[Burgey]

FMD. I propose a rule change. If you play out 5 successive dot balls in a T20, you've got to drop your strides.

 

[Top_Cat]

Everyone STFU, news is still on in Adelaide.

Bastards.

 

[Jono]

Get out of the thread crow eater.

 

[pasag]

Pretty good start by the windies.

 

[Jono]

Warner getting going now.

I can only assume that anyone who puts his bowling on a par with Cameron White has not actually seen him bowl before last night. He is the most exciting spin bowling prospect since McGill retired.

And of course his batting is better than his bowling at the moment. You can be a good batsman on talent alone, legspin requires a lot more work. You have to take a leap of faith on a spinner and give them a bit of a run to work out how to bowl at international level.

I've seen him bowl a bit before and he strikes me as someone who will use his part time bowling as a foot in the door for his batting rather than developing it long term.

I remember people raving about Cam White at that age for the same reason. I am happy to be proven wrong.

Learn to bowl WI.

Warner is so awesome.

 

[pasag]

Ponting not to shabby on the mic.

Ponting not to shabby on the mic.

Not as good as Tendy

 

[Jono]

WI should have just bowled 20 overs of darts with the odd change of pace. Would have been better than this crap.

Is there a cleaner striker of the ball than Watson? I honestly think not. He's amazing.

 

[inbox24]

Clarke in to prevent 200 and rest on Warner and Watson's laurels.

Hopefully he can get out relatively quickly.

 

[Jono]

Haha that was a HUGE collective groan from the crowd.

That just sums up what Warner is doing for cricket. Crowds love him.

 

[inbox24]

Dave century plz.

 

[Jono]

Yay commentators, let's try and pretend Clarke is awesome at T20, but just a "different player".

Hodge ftw

 

[Jono]

****ing hell Dussey.

I blame that on Clarke
