In a hole early on 2-22 @SillyCowCorner1

Chapman 2*(2)

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, Robinson and Rachin ain't gonna be a long-term opening combination.

 

[King Kane]

Robinson gone early which is a shame, I would say that they should bring back Finn Allen but he can't buy a run for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash.

Ravindra gone now too,, we need a rescue job from Chapman and Phillips.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Who else has reluctantly switched here from the MCG Test and feels like going from a fancy restaurant dinner to McDonalds for dessert

 

[Bahnz]

Gotta ask why Young isn't playing. I know he doesn't have a great T20 record but we need someone to stabilize the top order now that the old bankers are pretty much retired.

**** you, McDonald's rocks

 

[King Kane]

Yeah, Robinson and Rachin ain't gonna be a long-term opening combination.

It's a far cry from the heady days of McCullum and Ryder opening for us in limited overs games, that was exciting to watch.

 

[King Kane]

Chapman dropped, it might have been on purpose from Sri Lanka to keep him out there but it could backfire if he plays one of his rare good innings.

 

[ashley bach]

Chapman 11*(11)
Phillips 4*(4) @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Skyliner]

Now you get ‘inst inst’ music between every ball, sometimes starting up even when the ball is being returned to the keeper. Fine to do it between overs but between every ball it is serious overkill.

 

[ashley bach]

Jeezus Chapman that was rubbish

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Chapman's prolific NZ career continues

 

[Bahnz]

Sigh, it's just never going to happen for Mark is it?

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

**** you, McDonald's rocks

I mean I didn't say anything bad about it, the guilt is all yours buddy

 

[King Kane]

Chapman gone, that was predictable, god only knows how he keeps getting chances.

 

[Skyliner]

Thinking Jacobs was only picked so NZ could lock him down while they dither over how to use him without upsetting anyone in the ‘pecking order’.

 

[Silver Silva]

Quality bowling from SL pacers
