Williamson can get singles and boundaries, but not often enough to be much use in ODIs.
Are you basing this one the two overs in a T20 you saw?
Most likely. I was thinking that same thing. Though his stats have been pretty good in domestic recently.
Yes.
It is a bit of a tumtum I know. I admit part of the reason I'm hyping him up because I bowl (rank) leg breaks myself, but seriously, he looked the goods and I could see why he is dominating FC cricket. Astle does appear to know what he is doing, unlike some other second spinners we've selected before. Bahnz was jizzing himself, and we know that if Bahnz is jizzing himself over someone who isn't Wellingtonian then the player is either gun or Bahnz was just drunk.
You're basing all that on two overs in a T20 right? I dunno, legspinners can be funny things. Players can take bags of wickets at the domestic level, and get smoked in international cricket (think Brooke Walker). I've got high hopes for him, but without seeing more of him live, it's hard to know. Let's hope he takes a bucket of wickets in the 2nd half of the plunket shield.
They do
(he's on standby for McCullum injury)
I am questioning why was it impossible for them to even try and get 3 singles per over after tea? How much risk does that constitute. Misbah was well settled. And its not like he wasn't taking risks later in the innings...he was still pulling and hooking and so was Shafiq instead of ducking under them. I bet it is a lot less risky to take 3 singles in every over and get an odd boundary every 5 overs than hooking when there was still 15 overs to go.
Southee was superb but i disagree that it was tough to take 3 singles in an over from the other end with an odd boundary...playing 6 maidens in a row is just plain baloney.
