Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

Wiliamson in. This should help us.

Conversely, we might bowl him into form.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oh good Williamson. That will help us drive the run rate down

 

[straw man]

Tuktuks, start your 2stroke engines

 

[Athlai]

Tuktuk Kanos

 

[Starfighter]

I'm struggling to even think what Williamson is intending playing it like that. Ian Belling it down to third man?

 

[Starfighter]

Wow that is just crap from Williamson.

 

[thundaboult]

Fabulous Allen. Continue putting these bananas under pressure...

 

[straw man]

We are only seeing more evidence that Phillips should have been promoted ahead of Williamson to bat with Conway.

 

[Blain]

The idea to bring out Williamson to bat with Conway is the sort of **** is why I think Stead isn't up to coach T20. Conway is your 120 strike rate/anchor guy. Williamson is that at best. We've now lost momentum and treating it like a ODI in the middle stages.

 

[Starfighter]

This pitch has no pace, bounce or turn. It could be the crap they've been serving up for tests recently.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I thought that was out

 

[thundaboult]

Dude kane not now please ffs, smash it or gtfo

 

[Starfighter]

As I thought...

 

[TheJediBrah]

Only thing that could save it is height

 

[straw man]

Oof, very lucky.

And FFS Williamson, start playing some shots.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Phew. Need 210

 

[Xuhaib]

One positive of T 20 cricket is it gives more opportunity to lesser talent sides to win on their day leading to more competitive tourneys.

But the thing that makes me hate this format the most is the classical great players like Williamson, Smith, Cummins become less important for their sides.

 

[straw man]

Smithy is so parochial, it's hilarious

 

[TheJediBrah]

Has Ian Smith always been this annoyingly parochial

edit: Wizard up here ^

 

[BeeGee]

These 7 run overs aren't cutting it. Williamson has sucked all the momentum out of this innings.
