No! I won't have that!Yallop's far superior to anything in this XI too, IMHO.
Yeah, had the partnership and hence the team been motoring on nicely there would've been no issue, but we did slow down in that period considerably.Yeah; as Spark always points out - it's not so much the individual strike rates that matter but the partnership run rate. His last 25 runs would've taken 60+ balls though which definitely suggests he should've been giving Voges more strike once Australia got into a better position, even if he wasn't threatening the bowling much himself.
Minor critcisms when you come in at 10/2 and build too good partnerships though; it was a good knock.
Agree. IMHO the trick with a part-timer is to take them off 1 over before they get hit. 1 KW over in the powerplay (with offspin at the other end) was enough.should've finished with Kane after 5. Any more was always pushing it.
Brilliant workMMc looking like he has NFI today
That's all good in theory; but how do you know when they're suddenly going to get hit?Agree. IMHO the trick with a part-timer is to take them off 1 over before they get hit. 1 KW over in the powerplay (with offspin at the other end) was enough.
Looks like Rob Nicol's twin brother from this angle.MMc looking like he has NFI today
