Didn't know people even rated Abbott that much. Thought he was a bit of a no rounder with occasional moments. I always mix him up with Daniel Hughes when the sixers are in the field as they look alike
I think it was more that your comment came off in poor taste given Burgey knows the guy (I think? Involved with the same club anyway) and was talking about him working through his various hardships and you just came in with a brutal take on his cricketing ability.

Abbott for a while was flaky af despite the occasional good performance, but he has genuinely developed into one of the better domestic bowlers around.

His "batting" is still an absolute meme though

Ah okay. Sorry burge. Wrote that 5 min after waking up. And am hungover. Should probably refrain from posting in those circumstances

No worries. Tbf I was just fanboying him, didn’t take it that way.

Is a shame he copped the injury and misses the India tour, though tbf if I was an international player, it’s the tour I would want to miss most.

Here's hoping Max Bryant can step up tonight and have a big one (assuming he's playing...think Lynn may have been having a shot at him in the post-match conference the other night). He's a nice kid, but is clearly struggling with the bat a bit at the moment.

Only in FC. He's been an extremely consistent wicket taker in List A and T20s. Dude averages under 25 in ODers and has for ages

Fair point on 50 over cricket, he's always been good there, not so much on T20 though. Head's NYE ton springs to mind, as phenomenal as an innings as that was Abbott had a bit of a shocker that night
 

NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
Qais Ahmad vs. Zahir Khan is the battle we have all been waiting for.

Honestly throw in Rashid Khan and Nabbers Nabi and teams are going to struggle (why no Afghanistan flag, James)

Taking wickets and being good aren't always the same thing in white ball cricket. I didn't really rate Abbott in 50 over cricket despite the good SR until he couple of seasons back when he took the new ball and bowled some hostile spells of fast outswingers. I sat up and took notice then.

In other words, Liam Plunkett's entire career

Put your money where your mouth is horsehead, hit some bungers over the fence.

Pretty decent effort so far.

Really needed to carry on there.

Credit to Andrew Symonds, don't know how to feel about him as a commentator but he's bang on about Lynn and Bryant needing to reel back the walloping intent and focus on accumulation at times.
