Georgie Worker Super Smash

ronchi always looks so pessimistic and haggard

you just hit a six bro

 

[thundaboult]

This is great stuff from Worker. Proved me wrong in about...25 seconds

Whenever he's looking to give it a heave and slog in a hurry...he looks clumsy. When he's calm he's looked spectacular! Good prospect here for NZ.

 

[Zinzan]

Played Worker. 0 off his first 7 deliveries & then 50 from the next 26.

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

Loving this intent from Worker.Zimbabwe wheels well and truly falling off

[Zinzan]

Seen plenty of 5s, but can't recall many '7s' at international level.

 

[thierry henry]

Can anyone give me a bit more context on Worker? Have always thought he was kinda crap, but a quick look at his domestic record seems to suggest he's really crap. He averages 24 and 63 in FC cricket ffs, how has he played 67 games?

 

[thierry henry]

....also Worker would appear to be a slow-scoring batsman in every format

 

[Flem274*]

Worker is a really good Ford Trophy opener now, and his strike rate is fine since coming good. Past three or so seasons now he's been awesome. Maybe just before he went to Canterbury?

Terrible FC batsman though, which is why I'm not sold on him in internationals. In ODIs there are days where you need to have a test match defence.

Oh look I've jinxed him.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Good effort.
3rd highest T20 score on debut for NZ
Styris 66
Redmond 63
and I beat they didn't get any 7s

[Flem274*]

Australia's premier wicket keeper bat trolling the fielders hard in this knock.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hopefully Ronchi is back in form. He needs to finish well if we are any chance against South Africa

 

[Fuller Pilch]

commentator's curse

 

[thierry henry]

NZ batsmen must be hating hitting all these Eden Park fat cities which are 4 or out here

 

[TheJammyTurtle]

I know Neesh normally takes a bit of time to get into his innings,but NMac ahead of him?Really?

 

[Flem274*]

Fitting that in the background of that Munro midwicket slog there was a sign saying "Agristructures"

 

[Zinzan]

NcCullum batting ahead of Neesham? Oh that's right, batting practice/development for the next world cup.

 

[thierry henry]

Credit where it's due, Munro absolutely smoking them atm

 

[Flem274*]

would have been 12 at eden park and a single at the mcg
