Australian Domestic Season 2019/20

[Burgey]

Hits the ball hard

 

[Spikey]

odd that he didn't play the first game

 

[TheJediBrah]

I can see him being a bit of Nathan Bracken with the ball and a genuine no.7 bat

 

[Burgey]

Yeah genuinely destructive down the order. He'd be awesome on slower decks with the keeper up to the stumps as well, provided he bowls accurately enough.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He's gone now, but I agree Sams looks a pretty handy package for limited overs cricket. The Bracken comparison with the ball is a good one, they generally have a fairly similar MO to their bowling

 

[TheJediBrah]

Specialist batsman Arjun Nair at no. 8

I hope he makes runs so they can justify his spot without having to see his horrendous bowling action

 

[GoodAreasShane]

You can't have possibly seriously believed they were going to play him as a batsman?

As was mentioned earlier, Chris Green would have been a better option for that role, but he's over in the land of rum and ganja right now

NSW looking to emulate SA's batting.

How often does a bowling side have a team 5 for nothing but ease up and let them get to 200 and make a game of it. I haven't been watching but was this NSW really digging in or SA taking their foot off the gas. Should have been able to bowl them out for under 100 from 5/30

Probably a bit of hardness out of the ball helped. It was doing a fair bit early on, but there were some pretty ordinary shots played as well. The openers did bowl really well first up though.

I thought it was pretty clear that I was joking

 

[GoodAreasShane]

That time maybe, but the first time you said it certainly not

 

[mr_mister]

Put a $25 bet on SA this morning paying $45. Just had a feeling NSW were ****ing useless. The Edwards look village to me

Anyway cashed out for $38 at 5/30 because I predicted a rebuild and an absolute certain result becoming a bit less certain. Happy enough with my decision

 

[Burgey]

Sabba with a contribution which gives nsw very little to bowl to instead of FA.

 

[TheJediBrah]

If you say so. Pretty ridiculous to suggest he would play as a specialist batsman at any stage but if it went over your head that's fine. It's hard to convey tone via text.

I think it's ridiculous to pick Nair at all even if he didn't chuck ftr

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Bit of a stretch to say that Nair will "bowl"

I was working under the assumption that he was in as a specialist batsman, for obvious reasons. Should be interesting to see when he does "bowl" though

Real joke. Top class humour. Much funnies

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Anyway, moving on, please don't Tasmania this up lads

 

[TheJediBrah]

Real joke. Top class humour. Much funnies

I thought so. bowl in inverted commas should have been a giveaway

It was obvious to me you were joking. Very obvious in fact.
