Well that shows us up.

Very stupid from Sajid Khan.

Was the only sensible shot he played that over tbf

@honestbharani

have they learnt?

lol.. uncle is new though?

Where the **** is the rest of my post? I said he got out defending. Anyways.

 

[cnerd123]

And @GotSpin bowling Lyon with new ball to the right handers is what I mean by galaxy brain idiocy from your captain.

lmao this is why Pat Cummins is a Test match captain and not you.

 

[Flem274*]

at least he got out trying to do the right thing. i had the house on a massive swing across the line.

 

[Burgey]

Lyon gone for a tosca mid-spell. You love to see it

 

[Gob]

Now he is bowling Swepson

i should have posted this an over ago but didn't - i reckon a pure tailender would be more likely in this scenario to pop one up off the spinner than they would to get out to a frontline pacer

conversely, there comes a time where you have to be able to rely on your big sneering fast bowler to get it done, so i would have bowled starc too, but i don't think it's dumb to continue with a spinner to the tail, especially one that can get loop and over spin

 

[morgieb]

Wait Swepson's on? That is genuinely nuts.

Maybe Cribb will be vindicated lol

 

[Spikey]

well I just don't think Cummins needed to bowl in place of Starc after one over or whatever it was.

 

[Gnske]

Pat will be at an IQ greater than we've ever seen if this Swepson move actually pays off

Also the Test standard cricketing skills I guess.

This is true but Starc did enoigh in his first over back to suggest he’d have been a real handful to the tail

Come on.. they may still win and I will still say this was a dumb call. Starc could have gotten 2 by this time. And they conceded 8 runs lesser.

Especially given it's *this* tail. Three consecutive Southees and then an Aldi Trent Boult is just begging for some loopy spin dismissals.

 

[Spikey]

Swepson probably makes more sense with Rizwan off strike but Riz might do something silly

 

[Prince EWS]

SWEDEMPTION

 

[honestbharani]

Sajid uncle did the Saha from Adelaide 2014.

 

[ashley bach]

Rizwan's penis can only be described as elephantine

Describe it as much as you want, just promise not to show it.

'pure' tailender the key word here.

for tailenders with a good eye and no brain, you want to use the bowlers who show why they aren't batsmen - fast bowlers.

conversely spinners are quite good at forcing the classic compact defender tailender to try and hit the ball instead of perfecting the play and miss except when it's straight.
