Is Carey really much of an upgrade over Paine?

If he is, should bat 4 with Lynn 5.

10 2-31

It was damn sweet seeing him bowling full throttle against Zim - Knocking 150 at times and it was warm-up for this which is excited me. Is he really 35 and touching 150 ?

The natural athleticism and still wanting it... can see how much he still loves being out there.

Not really. Wade is better than both batting wise.

If he is, should bat 4 with Lynn 5.

No way, Lynn has to bat up top, he needs the pace and hardness on the ball.

Then Lynn slots in at 3, Smith 4 and the keeper at 5 or below. Leaving no place for a go-slow like Carey.

So good to hear about Steyn looking good.

Now we just need this version of Steyn in Tests for a couple more years, he should get to the 500 mark easily.

Tahir?

 

[Starfighter]

It's appropriate that the Pakistani in the team puts in that bad a fielding effort.

Carey strikes at over 135 in T20 cricket; he's not a "go-slow". He's batted pretty slowly in his ODIs just because of the situations he's ended up in (batting #5, often coming in at 3/****-all because the batting has sucked so much). He should be at 7.

 

[Starfighter]

It would be nice if they called it wide when it's well outside the wide mark.

 

[StephenZA]

Not Ngidi's best day.... bet the 10th wicket partnership showing that there is not much in this pitch.

 

[Starfighter]

Rabada's been having real trouble nailing his yorker recently. A lot of full tosses.

 

[Starfighter]

Not Ngidi's best day.... bet the 11th wicket partnership showing that there is not much in this pitch.

Also shown how bad the top order's shot selection was.

 

[Gnske]

You know what, you're all wrong. What Chris Lynn really needs is a licence to thrill.

 

[Second Spitter]

Tahir?

I have a theory about Imran Tahir. He's not a very good fielder.

 

[Spikey]

assume Stonis will take the new ball

 

[Starfighter]

That innings was so frustrating. Ngidi went at 7 an over and Rabada at 6 (and his figures were very flattering). The poor shot selection and ridiculously limited range of strokes against Tahir and Pretorius just killed it.

Head IMO, to attempt to exploit de Kock's off spin allergy.

 

[Top_Cat]

The Aussies traveling so badly they turned Steyn into a good ODI bowler.

Carey strikes at over 135 in T20 cricket; he's not a "go-slow". He's batted pretty slowly in his ODIs just because of the situations he's ended up in (batting #5, often coming in at 3/****-all because the batting has sucked so much). He should be at 7.

Yeah this. Bagging Carey for going slow is really unfair.

 

[Second Spitter]

Is it my imagination or is Warne a different commentator on Fox?

Is it too late to get Somerville back?
