Yeah I haven't seen the wide but I'm assuming it was basically impossible to hit, James Vince's career is not exactly hallmarked by his eagerness to leave the ball

 

[Gnske]

Shouldn't have left it. Sure it was a wide but it was still very hittable.

From the brain that brought you the concept that Peter Handscomb, Matthew Wade and Marcus Harris would be fine test cricketers.

steve smith might have hit it with that tennis smash overhead shot he plays but that's about it

 

[Spikey]

jesus christ Gnske you don't have to destroy the bloke

leave it for GAS

 

[TheJediBrah]

nah it was like a foot over his head at least. it was a big big wide.

yes it was a foot over his head, but it was still very hittable. In general play of course you wouldn't because it's not worth the risk but in that very specific situation you'd want to get bat on anything rather than let it go for a wide.

(and yes of course it's not that easy to think that quickly and the natural reaction is to let it go, obviously, so don't blame him at all for leaving it)

Not sure how much you've faced quick bowlers bouncing you but you can absolutely hook those balls. You shouldn't, but you definitely can.

 

[Spark]

the top edge to the wild hook was one of my more productive shots when i was still playing

 

[TheJediBrah]

Underrated IMO, off a genuinely sharp bowler you have to be pretty unlucky to hole out. I will still go even with 3 men out and can't recall getting out to it in years.

Inglis has had half a good season in Shield cricket. Don't get me wrong, I like him, but let's chill out a bit with the whole "clearly superior to Carey" bit

Is the stat bit from Cricket Archive ?

 

[Gnske]

england should pick james vince he looks really good

It was priceless during an earlier match where Vince was in and Gilly was expressing disbelief and confusion to O'Keeffe that he didn't play more test cricket thanks to his 80 at the Gabba that one time.

Then a second later he guided one to slip.

thank god, no final in perth

 

[Burgey]

Tepid win the toss and bowl

 

[TheJediBrah]

Heat deserve to lose for stricking with this Gregory hack

 

[the big bambino]

Wildermuth for Gregory surely?

Also Morne in for Laughlin

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wildermuth for Gregory surely?

In picking the team, should have been. If you're talking about X-factor subbing, no chance. Both filling the same role.

I meant initial selection. Wonder if they’ll bowl Bartlett through now.

Edit I see your point as it would be admitting a mistake. If Gregory can give them one over of evidence to x him out it would be convenient

 

[TheJediBrah]

I think they'll almost certainly sub Morkel in. Probably for Bartlett, but possibly for Steketee.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Khawaja at risk of pulling a Carey/Head fiasco here. Criminal keeping Hales off strike too.

edit: using criminal and Hales in the same sentence purely coincidental

 

[Gnske]

Scenes if he pulls a full Yuvraj. I'd expect such an innings from Usman at least once.
