The Wheel is Forever
Here comes another part-timer. And another six.

EDIT: Carseldine is the eighth option. And a four on the off-side. And then a six.
Six overs for 61 runs, including two in a row for 24, with a lucky wicket. Jadeja and the part-timers have given away a lot of the match with rubbish bowling.
Warne has specifically said he is going to give the ball to a lot of people just to get an idea of their capabilities in a match situation. That's why he gave the ball to eight people.

He is just experimenting - in a real game, most of them wouldn't have gotten a bowl.

This match seems to be an exercise in passing time. The MOM prize, the Xylo, getting driven, is more interesting.

Awarding an SUV in times of economic recession? Seems so yesterday. Maybe they're clearing stock.

Lol leading wicket taker in the Ranji trophy mind...not sure what that says about domestic standards lol
That was just a one-off. He's playing in a team with a very weak bowling attack, and most of the matches he played in ended in draws and out of ten, they only won three- against weak Orissa, relegated Rajasthan and rebuilding/has-been Karnataka- and they lost against Delhi, Gujarat and champions Mumbai. There's not much to read into that performance, except that he may be a batsman who can do the long haul as a spinner, but he doesn't look cut out for limited-overs cricket.

That's not an SUV- it's an MPV (Multi-purpose vehicle)- more or less a glorified van!

Actually, that model was launched only in January this year, so if they're clearing stock, that may be Bye Bye Xy. It's still quite boring, like its advertisements on television. Their actual SUV is a lot more interesting.

Good scalp for a B side. Robbie P bowled very well on debut also.

Quiney looked good opening for the Royals.
