DDS is so much better than his T20I record suggests (19.67 @ 110)

 

[Athlai]

Gutted for him. Hope nothing serious

Bracewell >> Sodhi right now

Sodhi took two wickets in the last match
How many would Michael have taken? You think three?

 

[ashley bach]

If Bracewell is named to play I am going to find out his email address and sign him up for as much spam as possible
The following other options bowl as well as he does if not better

1) Chapman
2) Phillips
3) Mitchell
4) Neesham

Do they though?
Macewell's figures in his last few games have been extraordinary, just don't know if he can be consistent.

Yes two or three. And unlike Sodhi he will continue economy pressure

Dhananjaya doing an Arun Finch here.

Stead may be the greatest coach in the world right now. I have confidence he won't name Bracewell.

You know Burgey specialises in tea leaves right?

Wow, that's shocking.

Bracewell is a part time bowler even at domestix level. So was Dipak Patel. Both managed to get some international poles but won't be remembered as being good players, Bracewell equals 2022 version of D Patel.

Yet is famously remembered for being in form for a world cup

Man, England players and fans must be so nervous today. So much at stake and they're up against a form side in a country where their test team hasn't won a game in over a decade and so many of their players carry so many scars. Plus they're in Brisbane where it'll be hot and humid, the pitch will be bouncy - nothing like their home conditions at all.

I really hope all our England fans here on CW are ok and that the team isn't overplaying the match time and again in their fragile little minds before it actually starts. I'd really hate to see them under perform and Chris Hinton to go missing for another decade or so.

Bookmarked for 10pm tonight ****. We got this.

You and athlai have the same avatar? Some history no doubt behind this while I was away.

Yeah iirc something major happened involving both NZ and England.

 

[Burgey]

Very few England posters in the thread. Not surprising in the sense so many of them are fair weather fans, but still disappointing. Adders, of course, is here because he's now better than he was now he's been in Australia for a while. He doesn't just front up when the going is good.

So many others are conspicuous by their absence though. Corrin not sighted off Dobroyd's, FJ MIA as per.

Sad.

I lost my avatar in a 4 year bet in the eng vs nz final to adders.

He has given me a few over this time, and in a class act gave me my hero winning it all
