nah **** that marsh out next match too bat MJ at 4

 

[SamSawnoff]

also, hastings and lee out, pattinson in, smith to actually be played as a spinner which he has done to very good effect in T20's and maybe a change around in the batting order (Marsh opening pretty much)

Marsh not doing himself any favours.

White will have to find some form from somewhere. Anywhere.

 

[MW1304]

Good decishh ump.

 

[pup11]

Despite batting as low as #11 have no hope of us winning here but I just hope we don't go down without a fight here, call it hit or giggle or whatever but you still don't want a drubbing at the very start of a long tour as its something that can pretty easily set the tone for the rest of the tour.

 

[Spikey]

heard a sound tbh

on one hand, we need warner to ton up to win, on the other, if he was to do that they'd call him into the test squad somehow

 

[Spark]

Aschoker de Silva, eh

 

[Burgey]

Disgrace from Dussey here. Bat to ball. First principals ffs.

 

[Spikey]

we suck

 

[Spark]

So remind me again why we only bowled 5 overs of spin?

 

[SamSawnoff]

Disgrace from Dussey here. Bat to ball. First principals ffs.

Ball to wicket. First principles.

 

[Burgey]

I mean, nicely bowled but a regulation offie played haplessly.

 

[Spikey]

Well White wouldn't even bowl himself 5 years ago so it's hardly a shock he doesn't bowl other spinners

 

[Lostman]

Saving Smith for the ODI's to surprise the SL batsmen.

 

[SamSawnoff]

So remind me again why we only bowled 5 overs of spin?

Because our spin bowlers are duff and our seamers are BRILLIANT. Apparently. SOK is the worst of all, hes so bad he can't even get a gig in the test team.

Watch them pull out all the talk of 'rustiness' after this match. They use that one all the time.

 

[Spark]

That's one of the most lolworthy attempts at a "shot" I've seen in a while

 

[MW1304]

I mean, nicely bowled but a regulation offie played haplessly.

vcs to lambast you for saying that.

 

[Spikey]

WHITE HIT A FOUR I REPEAT CAMERON WHITE HIT A FOUR

Stunning

 

[Burgey]

Always the TMV denominator when we're ****.

Too
Many
Victorians

 

[Furball]

White looks a bit clueless.

We all have watched plenty of T20I featuring Oz to know that its pretty much a norm with us, we bat and bowl without any planning or skills and so far we were blaming guys like Punter and Pup for being non-performing T20 leaders who were weighing the team down in this format, but don't think there is anywhere to hide anymore now.

EDIT: White is officially the new scapegoat....!!
