He's actually bowled pretty damn well this season; under-bowled really. I suppose it's hard to get a bowl when you have Cameron/Bollinger, Copeland and Clark team, not to mention mandatory overs from Smith. He's not a #6 batsman's ring at this point though IMO.Also, it's good to see Henriques finally hitting some form. He has been really disappointing.
And yet still got up for the victory!Queensland are so funny sometimes. Their batting's been a perennial problem for them.. so they've gone into a limited overs game (where they only actually need four bowlers to get through their overs with the rule changes, incidentally) with five specialist bowlers AND two allrounders. On top of that, they bowled one of their batsmen as their fifth bowler in the first twenty overs before one of their bowling and both their allrounders.
Fitness has been his real problem tbh, had he not had as many injuries as he has had, he might have really developed into a good all-founder by now, but he seems to have re-modeled his action and it seems to be working pretty well for him so far.Also, it's good to see Henriques finally hitting some form. He has been really disappointing.
I think this is why in the original announcement there was that talk of batsmen being able to bat twiceIt isn't that much more exciting between overs 20-35 than it used to be. It happened last night, and I've noticed it in a few other games that teams are losing a fair amount of wickets in their first 20 overs, so teams are doing a lot of consolidating in that period any way.
Nevill's from Victoria, and was stuck behind Crosthwaite and Wade. He went up to NSW a good year or two before Crosthwaite, and has spent a lot of time behind Fatty Smith. Very good gloveman, tends to be a rather robotic batsman who can get tied up easily, and never did all that well for Vic in the 2nd XI stuff.Certainly has made a good start to his career. Anyone know much about him?
I hate the current format but doing that would just make it worse. Just play a T20 game and be done with it if you're going to have two 20 over innings.I think this is why in the original announcement there was that talk of batsmen being able to bat twice
Such a bad post.Smith you are ****ing ****, this is chinese torture watching you bowl pies almost every ball. PLZ gtfo and go play club cricket. Pathetic Failure.
Nice 50 by Ferguson too btw.
