George Bailey

Not to mention, why would you not want Pakistan chasing a score? They're the ultimate chokers and can turn albeit guaranteed victories into collosul failures.

Such a brain-fart from George.

THis, i can't believe we won the toss and bowled. He really doesn't give me much comfort as a captain. Also his batting was very ordinary as well. It was just him but why did the batmen keep trying to cut the ball from middle stump? Everyone knows that Afridi does not spin the ball!

Lel @ Bailey haters. Like the anti Warners seem to go missing when they play a good innings but waiting and ready over their keyboards any chance to lay a boot in.

I thought it was pretty common place to want to chase in t20's these days. Bailey's decision to bat first didn't make our bowlers bowl absolute pies, our fielders field like under 12's and the batsman besides Maxwell have no ability to play quality spin. Even if we did bat first like you Bailey haters wanted, we still wouldn't be able to play spin and without the high RRR Big Show might have taken it easier and we struggle to make 140.

The Bailey hate is definitely OTT, but he does seem to be a little "bowl-first-friendly". I wonder if that's due to playing so much cricket on green Tassie pitches?

If we had bowled well this would have been absolutely irrelevant.

Toss simply isn't that big a factor in T20's

lol Bailey was part of the reason we lost yesterday, along with 9 other blokes

He can't make nervous bowlers bowl well. We dont have the kind of attack we had in 2010 and even then we couldn't win the damn thing. Plus there is a massive Mike Hussey shaped space in all our short format teams now.

Our spin bowlers are very vulnerable in this tourney.

don't worry about the toss question why finch bowled

Another awesome game from the inspirational skipper, 12 runs off 12 balls & another dream result to the Aussies. *end sarcasm*

I stand corrected, he is dead-set useless.
