Is this the fabled SC sense of humour I've heard about before on CW?

Shows how meaningless this T20 game is. Toss is won by India who are bowling and there's not even a game thread posted lol

Was going to say this non-ironically. If the selectors insist on making the brain-dead decision to play Head then Wade would do a better job than the likes of Burns in any position

At this rate Wade might open *with* Burns.
I think I'd rather Wade opening and Green at 6 than Harris opening and Wade at 6. None of these ***** are gonna score runs opening but Green might be useful.

Didn’t even consider Puc at the start of the season. Was unclear about his MH issues and besides we had enough options to partner Warner, surely one or more would pull ahead.
I was surprised he was made opener. I thought it unfair on him. Without checking the stats you’d think opening would be dangerous for a bloke hit so often. Yes he’s batted top 4 and scored many runs but he’s also been hit so often. Maybe play him down the order when the bowling isn’t as amped.
But what would I know. He batted like Bradman, Warner got injured, no one else took their opportunities and I was coming around to Aussie Tragic’s pov. Then clang.
I also think it’s been unfair on Mad dog. I accept the selectors can push aside someone to make way for such a talent but wasn’t Mad dog such a talent once? And what a redemption story so far. Changed states, batting position and game to fulfil his promise though in a way I’d never have guessed or thought had in him. Besides was it smart to basically deprive ourselves of having Mad dog compete for an opening spot just to promote Puc? Don’t know about that. But we haven’t completely given him the opportunity to consolidate the form he’s displayed over the last couple of seasons and it’s not been fair.
So now here we are with all our hopefuls injured, out of form, not to be trusted or ko’d. Now we’ll have to look at men our selectors seemingly appeared to think they could do without. Khawaja and Mad dog to open. Green for Wade.

Wasn't a particularly good player of the short ball. Found a way around it, yes.

I wasn’t sold on Pucovski without more cricket under his belt, but Burns made it an easy call. If the kid has only a light concussion he may well make the test anyway, though tbf with his history there may well be delayed symptoms.
got to the point where if he’s cleared he has to play. If he isn’t, Mad Dog would be it although Langer will likely want Bancroft.
I still don’t know if they’ll pick Green, but he genuinely can do no more. Sheer weight of runs means he should play over Wade or Head (Wade, frankly). 8 overs a day adds to the package.
