Cdg is a better bowler and a batsman than Santner though. Easily in the bowling.

But is Santner better than Andrew Ellis?!?

 

[straw man]

It's called the Andrew Ellis Protocol, if you are not better than Andrew Ellis in either batting or bowling, then you are not a specialist. If you're not better than him in one form, then you're at best a part-timer or specialist.

Andrew Ellis is the line all players should be measured to for he is both not good enough and not bad enough to be considered a genuine batsman/bowler. CDG comes up short in the bowling

I try to avoid thinking about Andrew Ellis and that elbowy bowling action.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha de Bruyn wanted to drive that so much.

 

[straw man]

Seems like we need another two fielders in the cordon to de Bruyn here.

 

[Prince EWS]

The h4x is real. Andy Ellis can suck it; pretty sure CPL would have Colin comfortably ahead of him on bowling now.

 

[Gnske]

How does he keep doing it?

 

[straw man]

Elgar now officially De Grandhomme's bunny - third time in four innings.

 

[veganbob]

Cdg is quality

 

[Athlai]

Praise Cthulu

 

[Prince EWS]

>tfw Colin de Grandhomme is not only opening the bowling in a Test, but is in fact now the senior new ball bowler in the side

kneel before your king new zealand

 

[wellAlbidarned]

that was a very tired shot from elgar. Batting out two sessions, however slow, could well reap dividends as sa look knackered out there.

 

[Athlai]

I for one look forward to cricrate putting CDG at the top of international bowlers.

 

[straw man]

How does he keep doing it?

just like Philander, I think the subtle man-boobs are the secret

 

[Prince EWS]

I think de Bruyn is probably the last player in this top seven I'd make open the batting. Literally any other batsman in the side would've been a better call.

 

[veganbob]

People are just underrating cdg because he is a few k slowe. However I fail to see what softee bring with the new ball that cdg doesn't. He uses it much better than southeern. After the new ball neither are effective anyway.

 

[Gnske]

Btw is de Bruyn's name being pronounced right? Keep thinking of Ashwin every time the comms say it

 

[Flem274*]

looking forward to seing southee or boult's face when they return and Colin takes the new ball before them

 

[Prince EWS]

just like Philander, I think the subtle man-boobs are the secret

Hasn't worked for Jeets.

Maybe Jeets should be given the new ball; maybe that's how this voodoo works.

Haha yeah it is.
