luke wright..?

 

[Jarquis]

Hero.

 

[Raghav]

Delhi & Pune did one thing right today. Delhi brought in Vander Merwe & Pune played Luke Wright! Hope they play them every game from now.

Just switched over to watch the end of this, and ITV4 is showing 'Police, Camera, Action.' Classy.

 

[GGG]

Who in their right mind would bowl Wright in 20/20 let alone the last over.

Yeah, they never usually show it on Sunday because of motor sport. There's always youtube though.

Yeah, I don't know why he was given the responsibility of 3 overs today given he hardly bowls for Sussex. He is a known last over specialist though, so I'm not surprised they went with him today.

These Indian teams really don't rate kiwis do they?

Might as well send McCullum and Taylor straight to England. No chance of getting a game.

I haven't watched a game this year, but has Gilly looked below the standard?

I can undertsand Taylor not getting another game, he played 3 or 4? and looked woeful as for McCullum unless he is still carrying an injury and can't keep then I am stumped.

Been tidy as always behind the wickets but looks way past his used by date with the bat.

Well which of the overseas players does he replace? The 4 in the last game have been one of the only 2 batsmen to perform and the 3 best bowlers so far this year.

 

[SeamUp]

Great to see Dave Miller step up yesterday evening. Could get interesting selection wise with Shaun Marsh getting back into the mix. Also feel Luke Pomersbach could get a chance after his BigBash performances. Gilly & Dussey under the pump ?

 

[Satyanash89]

Utter tripe commentary from Shastri... I just hate how inconsistent he is.
He calls a fast bouncer a good delivery in the death overs because the batsmen don't expect it... if it had taken a top edge and gone for four, he would have said you ca't bowl short at the death. What a complete ****

 

[burr]

Jesus Hussey's good. He should have played far more for Australia. Would have ended up an ATG, no doubt.

 

[Raghav]

Faulkner has to do for RR, otherwise Chennai will run with a win

 

[Garson007]

Jesus Hussey's good. He should have played far more for Australia. Would have ended up an ATG, no doubt.

I still have no idea why he retired.

 

[ganeshran]

Aussie show today - Watson, Faulkner and Mhussey performed brlliantly

It would help if Taylor got some runs. As for McCullum, he's playing in an incredibly competitive team, where Shakib, Brett Lee and RTD are also failing to get games. Kallis bowls, therefore Morgan is the only person McCullum can realistically come in for, and he's doing OK. McCullum is hampered by the fact he wasn't available at the start, and it's also asking a lot for him to be regularly picked when he's not going to be available for the business end of the season. Might as well let Morgan get some form.
