Chameera and Rajitha don't really move it all that much though I think
I thought Rajitha bowled pretty big out swingers on occasion, he certainly did against WI. Renshaw really struggling here, he's not the same player he was a couple of seasons a go.

Ah ok, didn't know that.

Renshaw looked like he was struggling even when he was scoring runs tbf.

Due to generally being Big Bash rejects or not having Big Bash matches on at the right time the CA XI actually has a really good bowling attack for once, not too far removed from test class I daresay.

The stream is behind the scorecard so I get spoilers. Chameera perhaps bowling better than in NZ? Seems to be getting some decent zip, though probably still only high 130s at best.

Don't forget Renshaw has been in an awful run of form so far this summer.

CA XI must be under instructions to make the test side look good. 2/21 now.

I reckon watching this Renshaw would be doing better if he could (guess what) rotate the strike. It would just settle him a bit more. These two are really tall.

He's probably down on confidence right now. Getting stuffed around by Langer twice now seems to have done his head in.

It looked pretty inevitable. This pitch has more going on than I first though, but this top order is not far off our Smith/Warner-less full strength batting and is crumbling like a vintage cheddar. Needless to say, this is not a good thing to see.

Well that's my thought too, and I fear that he'll never recover. Especially annoying as he looked like he wouldn't be totally incompetent against spin unlike most of our newer batsmen.

Burns out cutting without moving his feet. Disappointing to see that the pink ball barely moves only six overs in.
Yeah those pink balls are terrible when it comes to sideways movement. Don't think they're all that good for visibility either. Played a few T20s at club level with them and I can hardly see them when I'm fielding. Luckily I normally bat at 10 or 11!

I'm not sure why they don't use yellow balls. I used to train at night with yellow balls and they were quite visible, even after a lot of wear.

This is actually why I'm not a fan of Renshaw- Burns- Labaschagne as 1,2 and 3. I've seen QLD collapse too many times in recent years.
