the loss they needed to have

You can't drop Boland for an MCG test.

Which is a far cry from my opinion of him before the last MCG test.

 

[FKASC]

I wish Tye still bowled variations like CDG is. Don’t try bowl so fast, AJ.

T20 is all about slow wide bowling, if you’re not potent enough to attack the stumps

His Test average is about 2.5 times better than his First Class average. It's one of the stranger careers you'll see.

Kudos to the Strikers crowd for reacting like a ton was scored when the Thunder passed 15. Even Hales acknowledged it lol.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Just a reminder that we could still be playing the Test tomorrow.

Yeah but then he smashed one of their faces in a few overs later so he couldn't have found it too funny.

I don't want to ruin it but Aaron Finch is eating dots in the BBL and it's wonderful to see

He's costing the Renegades the win

Hosein goes past Finch in about a third of the deliveries

 

[RookiePick]

Match winner Aaron Finch scoffs in your general direction.

With CA releasing Neser to play tonight, I hope Lance Morris can play on Friday.

Who's spot does he take ?

Tye, Behrendorf, Richardson and Kelly is a pretty strong bowling lineup

Straight swap for Hatzoglou.

They also might want to rest Richo.

Richardson has barely played any format. How many games off does he need?

 

[PK WCE]

If turner played a bit more like finch the scorchers woulda beat the hurricanes. But instead he hit the ball straight up in the air going for a 6 when we needed 47 off 41 balls...

He's fragile is our Jhye.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is rested at some time the season.
Maybe not a home game.

He'll be a bigger missed opportunity than Joel Paris.
He'll never get a constant run in the test team.

Unravelling the Mankad — the controversial move that divides the cricket world

It is a move that divides cricket players and punters alike — the Mankad. But how did this sensational Indian cricketer become synonymous with the most debated rule in the game?

Its such a frustrating problem. But fast bowlers always have been fragile. James Pattinson, Ryan Harris, and early Pat Cummins come to mind in recent times.

Great read, cheers

"For the life of me I cannot understand why [anyone] questioned his sportsmanship," Bradman would later write.

"The laws of cricket make it quite clear that the non-striker must keep within his ground until the ball has been delivered. If not, why is the provision there which enables the bowler to run him out?"

All that needs to be said, never got the uproar about it. Stay in ur crease

Not always clear cut, like the Ashwin/Buttler example in the article. He would've been in his crease when Ashwin bowled the ball, if he didn't pull out. Do we want to end up with bowlers baulking in their delivery stride like a baseball pitcher trying to get someone out at first base?
