*Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

Hard to keep up with jamodis tours so checked cricinfo: Bartlett has played 2 ODIs in February last year. Johnson has also played 2 but in different sides. No doubt injuries and I'm guessing bowler management have held them back. One note is that both were born in December and I've been checking a lot of profiles lately and the number of guys (particularly bowlers) born in December is quite surprising.

Johnson was definitely in the last T20 series

How the heck is Rogers in the team? Surely there's someone else somewhere?

His overall record isn't disastrous when you consider how often they pick Merlo. Even worse than usual this season though.

Right. I only checked odis. They both played T20 against Pakistan (I think) recently.

Even by your standards not funny, as it's not even relevant.

Even if I misread your banal post I refuse to change my position.

Good point. Rogers has scored 35 runs in five innings at a strike rate of 100 yet they still won't give Kellaway a go either.

Tbf nothing about Kellaway's game that I've seen suggests he'd be much good at T20s.

Walter's bowling has been a disaster area tonight.

 

[the big bambino]

The batsman played between the V there.

Could hear that inside edge clear as day on the television

 

[Starfighter]

Having the batsmen edge it between himself and leg stump for four is frustrating, but nearly sending the next one over the keeper is not the ideal response.

The outfield looks like people have practicing golf on it.

Can't believe Kuhnemann played Test cricket

One reason why I think Connolly is such a strong possibility to be picked as a spinning all-rounder for SL is that the left arm orthodox options we have are just... well, close to non-existent.

 

[Starfighter]

Stoinis still manages a frustrating touch to the innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Brilliant catch, but still, get in the bin Maxwell

Bartlett 4/7 in this match result is ridiculous

Kuhnemann was passable, though IMO he was a better bowler then than he is now.

 

[the big bambino]

Bartlett might get a hatrick, a fifer for fewer than 10 and his side still get smashed

He did well too lol

He's absolutely a better bowler, but whether he's so much better a bowler that it outweighs the fact that Connolly is a decent bat is tricky when you're talking about the third spinner. Ideally you want an all-rounder in that role.
