**Official** Super 8 Group 2 Discussion - Aus, Ind, Pak and SA

[Spark]

Hmm on that logic we haven't needed to bat beyond #4. Would hesitate to weaken our batting lineup for any reason, frankly.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'd be all for dropping Christian for an extra bowler if I actually had any faith in the other bowlers in our squad.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

And Xavier Dartery gets the call up. Unimpressed.

Parnell getting picked more than makes up for that though.

We'll miss Christian in the field, IMO. Can't bowl for **** at this level, but his catching has been immense.

Xavier Doherty can't bowl for **** at this level either, so it seems like a dumb swap.

I've gotta say, I don't mind it that much against SA, especially after seeing them get tied in knots by Raza Hasan.

That is an incredibly strange and stupid selection. I don't remember the last time Parnell bowled even semi decently at international level, and he can't bat either. Morkel surely must be unwell, would have thought he's undroppable.

Yeah, it takes a special kind of unhinged loon to not have Albie in a Twenty20 side, full stop.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

And I eat my words. Good nut by Xavvers.

 

[The_roc]

Levi gone cheaply.

He was crap for Somerset this season. Don't know why anyone thinks he is international class!

Bring back Albie

 

[Prince EWS]

Ian Chappell isn't one for holding back when he doesn't rate someone but I've never heard him rip in quite as much as he's doing to Levi at the moment.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Am I alone in wanting to keep Kallis in for as long as possible?

It's like his bat has an Infield Targeting System against non-minnows.

 

[Quaggas]

Well, ICC T20 player of the year. Have to start with him.

 

[Prince EWS]

Well, ICC T20 player of the year. Have to start with him.

I think he just won performance of the year rather than player of the year.

Levi is so far short of International class it's incredible.

Maybe it's a ploy to get Kallis & Amla opening without them realising?

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Kallis hogging the strike from Amla, selfish ****bag.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Right. X-Do has 2/2 having taken one wicket in five previous T20Is.

That one was actually a good ball, too...

 

[Dan]

Tasting.

 

[Quaggas]

Indeed. Have to ask where the ICC find the wankers on the selection committee/

 

[Neil Pickup]

Levi in T20Is versus non-minnows:

13, 117*, 11, 19, 8, 0, 1, 4, 8, 0.
