Why only from West Indian Players? Are you Paul Kent?

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that’s good running from Arun

 

[Spark]

Hetmyer is the biggest disappointment. Either he has major commitment issues or the selectors really don't like him. King -Hetty-Pooran is very good in theory actually.

Well known that the bloke just doesn't give a ****, right?

 

[Burgey]

Shades of Archer with Joseph in that his action is nice and easy so his pace surprises you.

Yeah. Missed his flight to Oz. How does that happen?

Hot take but I like Joseph's action more. Archer's is too languid and it hasn't surprised me one bit that he's had a million injury problems (the way he was used by Root notwithstanding)

 

[Burgey]

Yeah Joseph’s run up seems to give him more mometuk
Through the crease.

needless from Green there really. Three gone in the power play. See if the truism applies here

A bit needless but tbf it's pretty clear that he's been told to just swing at everything as an opener

 

[TheJediBrah]

Why is Finch in the team if not opening?

Because he's captain and they don't feel like they can drop him this close to a world cup

 

[TheJediBrah]

He's swinging so hard at everything, losing his shape and taking his eyes off the ball. I don't think it's necessary he can hit it well enough with a bit more control

 

[TheJediBrah]

wow that was pretty bad

identical to Maxwell getting out to Ryan Burl in Townsville

 

[Spark]

good camerawork there

I don't think he still actually knows how to slog, he's just so powerful that he's doing it anyway. But he's not getting into the right positions to power hit, his weight transfer isn't right

 

[Burgey]

Every time you think maxwell would be a good addition in all forms of the game he reminds you he’s actually a ****ing moron by playing a shot like that on zero.

 

[Daemon]

lol maxwell, tjb in tatters.

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol david, daemon in tatters.

 

[Spark]

This is low key a seriously poor batting display

As far as talented morons go, at least he hasn't flashed the selectors.

[TheJediBrah]

You know what's really funny? This is exactly the type of innings/game where a Steve Smith would be ideal to build the innings around

But no it's more important to fill the team with sloggy-hacks because tWeNtY tWeNtY nEeD sIxEs

 

[Daemon]

lol david, daemon in tatters.

Caught by the neckless menace too, awful
