doesn't happen as much as it could
also very difficult to monitor or quantify tbh. You could argue it happens most games. eg. Luke Wright, Ludeman etc. opening the batting could arguably be considered "pinch-hitting". They wouldn't bat top 5 in First-class cricket.
Not the same as throwing a Sean Abbott up the order though, but I wouldn't blame his failure in last night's match as indicative. Sean Abbott has just completely forgot how to bat.

Yeah, that looked really weird. Batsman was behind him.....

Deserves to end with a wide ot no-ball imho.

I agree. Especially the last one.
I also felt Cameron White's consecutive boundaries, when he was on 30 from 30, were key. Last match, he lost his wicket at that moment. There's a difference between anchoring the innings and consuming a quarter of all deliveries at a run-a-ball. I think you should not be on 30 from 30 when chasing 180 in a T20. It puts too much pressure on the rest. But good on him, as he got his team out of it himself.
Doesn't make him the right MOTM imho. Bravo's innings was arguably more important. And Bravo bowled 4 tidy overs, taking 2 wickets. And he lost his bat again
.Luke Wright has a first class double hundred and averages 40. Stop embarrassing yourself for once.

So again the 18th over proves crucial. Im buying deano shares

ffs if you want to contribute meaningfully I would welcome it but all your doing is making stupid points and insulting people while completely ignoring what is actually being said.
If you want to actually debate maturely or convince someone of your point of view, try actually reading what they say and respond to it rather than picking a random, largely irrelevant aspect to counter as if it somehow invalidates an entire argument.
Of course Luke Wright isn't the same as Sean Abbott, I directly said that myself in the post you quoted. His first-class average is not even remotely relevant either.
Seriously, just read the post before replying with something irrelevant. And insulting. It would make you look less like a child.
Luke Wright being called a pinch hitter is self evidently stupid. He averages 40 in first class cricket and bats in the top 5. Anyone who thinks he is a pinch hitter is absolutely worthless debating as they lack enough knowledge of the subject matter to keep up.
A better example would be David Willey who opens for his domestic T20/List A side and could more accurately be called closer to a pinch hitter. It isn't a tactic used in T20, because as most astute observers of the game realise (including basically every professional team and all international teams) it is a waste to put a slogger up the order in the powerplay, as these overs need to be used by your best players. Indeed in T20 getting your best players in to maximise the deliveries they face is what the good teams do.

When I think of pinch hitting in cricket, I always think back to Craig McDermott in a handful of ODIs. They chucked him in at 3, 4 or 5 and I don't recall it EVER coming off. Hated the idea ever since...

Considering White should have been out for 29, that was a massive boost for them.I agree. Especially the last one.
