Anyone reckon Collingwood might get through a few overs of this stuff in Tests the next time England tour the subcontinent?

Will he be in the side?

 

[Jarquis]

Ran past it. Colly all over Australia with his offbreaks

 

[Pizzorno]

I love Cameron White. Anyone remember that innings for Somerset a while back in a T20? Absolutely mullered it to all corners.

If he's still in this side this winter then he'll go to Bangladesh but I'd hope we wouldn't need it there. Doubt he'll go to any of the others again.

 

[superkingdave]

Does Collingwood hate Swann? takes him off after one over that cost just 5, and the pitch is turning?

 

[GIMH]

Should have held that.

Maybe he's changing ends with Swann

 

[GIMH]

Clarke's a joke innit

 

[superkingdave]

Clarke plumbing new depths

 

[GIMH]

If I was White I would have ran Clarke out then.

 

[four_or_six]

Clarke not in the best of situations though, Australia don't want to lose another wicket here. Especially looking at the T20 record of their keeper.

Blewett hasn't seen Shane Watson bowl many slower balls... I thought he did when I've seen him?

 

[superkingdave]

Yeah Collie's a **** captain

 

[GIMH]

There's seven overs and seven wickets left, there isn't really time to 'rebuild'

I know that's what a lot of 'purists' don't like about T20, but it's part of the challenge and blows a huge hole in the 'wickets don't matter batsman's game blablabla' theory

 

[four_or_six]

Colly's doing fine here, looks like a good pitch for bowling the guys he's gone with.

 

[GIMH]

Such a gun bowler in T20 though

Oops yeah... hadn't realised we's got to the 14th over already. Should be getting on with it then, although none of the batsmen seem to have got going.

Don't disagree with bowling himself, but pitch is slow and turning and he's only going to get 2 overs out of his spinner

*waits for Swann to get smashed in his next over now*

He'll get three quite happily from Swann.
