That's not how it works

What do you mean it’s not how it works? Can’t you bowl your overs and get subbed out?

 

[mr_mister]

you can bowl one over and be subbed out

No, the sub is at the ten over mark only and you can have bowled a max of one over.

 

[TheJediBrah]

what a sub tbh. Sydney sides so far infront of the others (of course we are)

by subbing in a South Australian, makes sense

 

[TheJediBrah]

Does Lisa Sthalekar ever not hit on the visiting commentator ffs. Inviting Sunny over to Netflix and Chill

 

[the big bambino]

Sounds like a tactic fruity creeper would use.

 

[Kraken]

ball is garbage, plenty of better options running around in Sydney test cricket tbh

 

[Burgey]

Jake Ball really bowling like a Pommy quick in Australia

I see. Cheers

Wait so they subbed out Dwarshuis but left ****ing Ball in? anti-corruption unit needs to look at this game

One thing I wonder, is there a requirement to play overseas players even thought they're crap? The Strikers subbed Briggs out a couple of times, but otherwise it's been a consistent theme over the seasons. I still remember the Thunder playing Andre Russell when he was injured and troubled when walking.

Another short ball from a spinner jags a wicket.

That would explain Gleeson from last year

And ironically enough these were controversial decisions at best. One of them outright backfired. Briggs has been great for them since too (he's even working his way up the batting order).

There's no actual official requirement for them to do so but I suspect they kind of feel obliged to keep up appearances. There'd be a bit of sunk cost fallacy involved too.

Reckon her and Prithvi Shaw would be a good match

 

[honestbharani]

Real stinker from Roy. This is what we get with South African internationals

Lol, was genuinely gonna ask why there aren't more RSA fringe players here? Ideally, they would feel more at home in these conditions than English or SC players.

 

[Starfighter]

Why the hell don't they replay no-balls?

Also why don't batsmen leave those ones heading yards down leg?

It probably clashes with SA domestic stuff.

This is very much a thing in State cricket. A couple of years ago when Bert was making 1200 in a season and only had a part time NSW contract, they kept picking Sangha (the older, **** one) and Edwards despite them failing at Shield level and also not scoring in grade. They don’t want to admit they’ve signed the wrong blokes

 

[Burgey]

Why is this **** playing, let alone bowling?
