Has any bowler choked more often bowling at the death than Abbott?

The worse death bowler in the history of the game and they keep bowling him at the death.
Ben Cutting would probably give Abbott a run for his money, but then he's barely a part-timer at the moment.

WTF Botha? Only giving yourself one over while Maddinson got an over and Abbott got four. Botha should've bowled the final over with fast darting deliveries.

My thoughts exactly, don't understand it. Almost as though he forgot he could bowl, you've got 6 bowlers FFS no need to bowl Maddison.

We only won because of our superstars out of district cricket that other sides don’t have access too

Even Hilfy has won a couple of games swinging like a rusty gate at the end.

At least direct your sanctimony to the correct player. You won because of the superstar that has been cut by two other franchises/states and that no one else wanted :)

I don't understand why he didn't bowl himself either... he is all about his own economy rate never about the team.

I wont complain though cos getting to see Abbott bowl at the death is bloody funny if you ain't a sixers fan.
 
Does Tim David count as one of Hodgey's WA superstars? Given he's played zero matches for WA...
Quite frankly it’s a disgrace that WA has access to the elite talent of Tim David, how the Scorchers can fit a guy in that’s played the sum of zero domestic matches, really should be investigated.

Am I doing it right?

Some nerves of steel from Tim David. Two sixes, one off his second ball, one when he'd had a few dots and the team needed 15 off 7.

As soon as SOK went off Botha should've earmarked himself to bowl 4 overs, and he should've been bowling early. Not much point him being there as a batting #7. He's hard to get away and a 4 over 0/25 spell is exactly what they needed tonight.

Brilliant.

They just find a way. It's going to be really hard to drop bowlers to make way for the injured ones. Also hard to fit 2 Marsh boys in.
Mitch will be in the odi squad.
Shaun is one of the best domestic t20 players in the world and is a walk in.

I haven't seen too much of inglis but he seems to be a pretty average keeper, so bangers will definitely replace him as well.

Confirmed today that NCN won’t be back this tournament (for a change...).

Richardson is a bit hot and cold but at least it will give them a chance to keep everyone fresh - not so much for the work load but it’s a fair bit of flying around isn’t it?

Must tip the hat to Maxy Klinger tonight - he is one of those guys that are just class, genuinely enjoy seeing him do well.

Injured again or is it just a slow build for him?

News on Dorff and paris?
