when the planets align and peace comes to the world

Only question mark is over Cummins and as he is still in short pants, he has years

 

[Spark]

not quite sure about this "bang it halfway down" idea with a stacked offside field, two slips and only one deep legside fielder

it's kind of amazing that warner's record in ODIs is as kind-of-mediocre as it is when he can bat like this.

If his odi game had developed at the same rate as his test game, he'd be one of the best ever already

Guy just slaughters bowlers but doesn't seem to know when to back off in the shorter formats

As much as I agree with you, there is always the hidden wish that, after posting those lines, such tactics bring a wicket. Nothing like dumb tactics doing the job. In any sports!

how is he meant to get a wicket? he'd have to try pretty hard to pick out the one fielder out there on the full.

at a bare minimum he should be in the low 40s average, not in the maxwell-mmarsh-finch territory.

Apparently this style of bowling is the sign of good bowling as it represents "variety" and keeps the batsman thinking

When I was growing up, it was referred to as a "filthy, half-tracker."

Milne's great for a flex but at some point it would be nice if he actually started taking wickets

That's exact;y my point. But there is a joy, if, against the ods, that happens. Even more when commentators start applauding the captain for the field placement.

I actually agree with Ian Smith. Obviously Marsh is going at run a ball so its working, but he really doesn't need to bat aggressively at all. Anyway if it wins the game no one will complain I guess.

 

[Flem274*]

i mean i don't think that's the worst idea but we have bailey instead

yeah but if you want to force maxwell to play properly you bat him higher than #5

Maxwell saw a **** ball and went to pull it. It was poor execution, overreacting a teeny bit imo. He didn't sky it to mid on charging down the crease.

Oz could've shut up shop after about 15 overs, knocked the ball around with no risk and strolled to victory but that's not how we roll #intent #flakey

nah it wasn't that ****. nowhere near short enough to pull.

 

[Flem274*]

milne is there for blasting out techniqueless sloggers and the tail ftr. he's instead become a 150kph gavin larsen

 

[Spark]

wow okay he's very legside of the ball so that's out

 

[Flem274*]

woah

 

[NZTailender]

I don't think Mark Richardson knows what irony is

 

[Jono]

Cop it Billy Bowden. In your 200th game too ya bum

 

[Bahnz]

How the **** did Billy give that not out live?
