Why're we bowling Hazlewood so many overs in a row? Poor kid.

#frisky4faulkner

Because he's at his best in his first spell and they weren't scoring off him. Six is not a lot of overs to bowl in a row anyway. Back in the day, guys like Alderman and Simon Davis would open and bowl out.

Yeah but his last over he was clearly looking fatigued. And he's only got 4 overs left for the rest of the game.

These gimmick bails have changed the game. Bowled is not necessarily bowled any more.

Kind of shit how often it seems to be happening, especially since the zing bails have actually been useful on runouts and stumpings.

We had someone else in the late 90s who used to do it too, can't quite remember who, was reasonably obscure from memory, plus McGrath was always good for an 8 over spell out of the blocks.

Runs not made at the start are runs they'll have to catch up, it's still a good philosophy, though the 40 over restrictions are killing it a little.

That's the argument for bowling as many as possible now, we don't want him bowling later.

He had 1-7 off 5. You keep him on. Sohail took a couple of risks in his 6th and got away with it. As for his overs left, you have to bowl at some stage. It's about when best to use particular bowlers. Hazlewood threatens wickets and is hard to score off when the ball is new and hard. When it gets a bit softer and batsmen are going after him, his predictable length and the lack of movement at that stage means he can get some tap.

Apparently they're heavier.

Curious decision to bowl #MightyMaxwell at Misbah, who hasn't hit the ball off the square v pace, but hits sixes off spin in his sleep.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Oh yay! It's Watto

Good move. He'll have to share 10 with #MightyMaxwell.

 

[Amstaff]

There I am! I was on TV!

 

[richoatthedisco]

#WhackItWatto unlucky not to get a wicket in his first over. Hazlewood didn't seem to pick up the ball too well. Cummins would might have caught it.

And here comes #frisky4faulkner

 

[Allikat]

omgomg Faulkner!!!

#frisky4faulkner


And back to the Hazlewood thingo, yeah you're probably right. I don't mind a bit of him in the middle overs though so batsmen don't get used to him.

Maxwell or Smith would have could it.

Yeah but you don't put those guys at third man.

Not exactly menacing bowling from #frisky4faulkner

 

[Allikat]

Ahh outta luck again Watto.

It was tidy. Wait till the next over!

Arsey campaigner Haris Sohail. He'd be copping a gobfull.

 

[Xsess]

I have a crisis of conscience.

The sun moon and stars have aligned and I have a perfect angle to shine the sun into Sohails eyes. Should I?

No. All it'll do is stop play and all of Australia will hate you for being a campaigner.

On the one hand, you know someone would do it to one of our blokes given the chance..

On the other, you'd be a piece of shit scumbag.

Makes sense. Aside from having a better temperament, being a better batter, bowler, fielder and being 15 years younger... what possible reason would you select Marsh?

#WhackItWatto is a better bowler, batting is fairly even and Watto has already taken a catch either one of the Marsh bothers would have grassed crocodile-style.
