Reminder there are people on this forum who rate Blackwood seriously

If he had a brain to go with the talent he would be a decent player. Much like Marlon Samuels though it doesn't exist.

 

[Howe_zat]

Blackwood is boss. I think he's my favourite cricketer.

good work

 

[91Jmay]

That's a pony shot.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So can we bowl them out for under 150 again?

He also quite literally needs to find his feet and shots in his repertoire that don't have the modifiers of "hack" or "slog"

 

[King Pietersen]

The fact he doesn't have a brain is what makes him so awesome.

Well maybe this is just because I have my head half way up my juicy arse, but I've always found a ***y cricketing brain will always trump the toxic masculinity of the swagger.

 

[King Pietersen]

Dowrich is pretty rubbish isn't he.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Dowrich is pretty rubbish isn't he.

In a summer of mediocrity across all the sides it shows how bad he is that he is comfortably the worst player we have seen.

Watch him fluke a matchwinning 70 now.

 

[King Pietersen]

They were just talking about McGrath's record at Lord's so thought I'd take a look.

3 matches
26 wickets
11.5 average
27.3 strike rate
3 5-fers
9/82 best match-haul

Not bad.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Looking at the list the record of Swann is very impressive given how little it usually does for the spinner.

40 wickets @ 24

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was a ridiculous appeal.

 

[King Pietersen]

Love the fact Broad did his run down the wicket appealing like it's plumb routine to a ball that was going WAY over the top. Never change Broady.

 

[_Ed_]

Dumb shot.

 

[King Pietersen]

Dowrich is pretty rubbish isn't he.

Yep.

 

[91Jmay]

As I said, one of the worst Test match players going around.

 

[91Jmay]

Next time we ask about the ball we should be immediately told to foxtrot oscar

 

[OverratedSanity]

Never realised how elegant Hope was before this series. Although that might have been because he was never in the middle for long.

 

[Howe_zat]

Safe to say I was pretty dismissive of Shai Hope coming into the summer, he's come of age very impressively.

West Indies can get rid of his brother though. One is enough.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Shai is a batsman alright. Technique and nerves of steel. Some of the others in this side don't deserve to share the same colors.
