Random comment of the day goes to Ian Smith.

 

[Flem274*]

Smith: "Baz has terrific footwork."

nek minnut, concrete boots

 

[thierry henry]

So Smith reckons McCullum has "great footwork" because of the way he plays the charging, pirouetting, inside-out slash over cover

Hardly surprising if you remember how Smith used to bat tbh

 

[straw man]

Well done McCullum

 

[thierry henry]

Not sure how pleased I am that our preferred method of acceleration is charging and flailing wildly, but whatever, it's working this time.

 

[_Ed_]

Really good 50. But I hope he doesn't stop there.

 

[Flem274*]

That looked quite wild. Brings up a good fifty though.

 

[Flem274*]

If the batting power play existed in Macka's day, he would take it whenever he came into bat.

 

[straw man]

Sad face. One more wicket here and we're in a bit of trouble imo

 

[_Ed_]

Bugger. Good catch.

 

[_Ed_]

That's average running.

 

[Flem274*]

Is it just me or has Jesse looked gaunt ever since arriving at the crease?

 

[thierry henry]

Jesse

 

[Mike5181]

This is better batting.

 

[Flem274*]

Well

 

[Blakey]

Other than the fact that Ryder shouldn't be there because he doesn't deserve it, the second reason is that he's a moron. Out thought again.

 

[thierry henry]

I feel like every time Ryder comes back into the side his batting is more random and idiotic. A few years back he looked like a natural at pacing an innings and batting properly, even if he was crazy off the field.

 

[thierry henry]

How criminal is it to lose two batsmen caught on the boundary during the middle overs of an ODI? fmd.

 

[NasserFan207]

11 of the over, obviously you'd try to slog the good length last ball. Ryder is a genius

Yeah AWTA. The funny thing is, I think he actually developed this reputation as a reckless slogger before he ever actually was one. It's like he decided he had to live up to it.
