Said it before, but reckon it's really smart business by the Thunder getting Rogers.
He's definitely underrated in limited overs cricket. Class batsman.

Must not of seen much of the Hayden/Maher partnership of the late 90s and early this decade.

I reckon he can be forgiven though given he was born that in decade.

I'd hate to be a bowler in the Ryobi Cup. Not only do you have to bowl on 320 par OD wickets, but you have to contend with the third umpire only intervening if the umpire makes an error in your favour. If there was no inside edge there but the umpire thought there was then the decision wouldn't be over-turned, which makes it an absolutely rubbish system.

Serious? That's just a bizarre playing condition. What's the rationale for that?

Technically it's not the case; the third umpire can over-rule not out decisions as well. It just never happens. I certainly don't think we'll ever see it for an inside edge based decision as it'd require the umpire to actually tell the third umpire why he didn't give it.

It's just how it works out, simply because you have enough time to review things before the next ball is bowled.
If this is the system that would be used without challenges, so that Tubby Taylor is a happy man and doesn't see the umpire's authority being "questioned", then it's arse-about-face, and you end up with that situation with Finch last year refusing to walk off.

**** yeah, what happened to Ash Gilbert I wonder? Remember him getting a ton of hype, mainly for being so goddamn tall.
In other domestic news, Pete Forrest seems to be in a deep, deep trough.
