Redbacks: Title Town

[Pugsley]

See no he doesn't, he just allows his own orbit to pull the food in towards him

Natural gravitation [emoji3]

Anyone know why Cosgrove has played ODI's ???

At least our bowlers can bat and our batters can bowl.

But can the bowlers bowl, or the batters bat?

No that was the point

 

[hey shorty]

Good on Trav for having a trundle and getting a few.

They're somewhat akin to the NZ side of old. The Kiwis used to be able to reverse their batting order and nobody could tell the difference. Sadly the Kiwis are much improved these days, while the Redbacks are not.

And it begins. Kel Smith for a duck, and SA is 1/0.

 

[Danoz]

3 for ****ing 14. Joke.

 

[brucetiki]

3/2 at one stage!

 

[hey shorty]

So what did Tasmania make ?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Can't remember a scorecard with the top three making ducks too often. Looks like Cooper and Head are forming a partnership. Hopefully one (or both) can ton up.

Be nice if Head could finally maximize a good start like this.

364

 

[Danoz]

Head out for 50.

Head out for 50.

Shane Watson 2.0

Shane Watson 2.0

Nah. Still has plenty of time to iron out his creases. I just hope the captaincy of a shit side doesn't weigh too heavily on his shoulders.

Same

Issue I reckon with Head (and Watson I guess) is that he's a boundary hitter. I bet his percentage of runs scored via 4's and 6's would be higher than the best middle order batsmen.

He often cruises to 40 or 50 then the opposition dry it up, string some dots together. Stop trying to get him out, set defensive fields. He doesn't have the ability to rotate the strike easily or work through those periods. Yet.

 

[hey shorty]

Its something that comes with experience you would hope. Warner was the same, albeit a more explosive version and he turned out alright

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Top of the order it's not such an issue

Three slips and a gully, bat pad, gaps everywhere. Plus a hard ball that flies off the bat. Opening bowlers with pace.

Middle overs, ring field, spinners on, softer ball... it's a different game.

 

[hey shorty]

I do wonder where he will settle. Can open, bats in the middle order too.

 

[Danoz]

Let's hope these nervous 90's don't get the better of Coops. Been in them for about 30 deliveries.

 

[Danoz]

No bowling bonus points and at this rate we won't even get any batting bonus points. ****ing joke.

 

[Danoz]

Good show Cooper. Get's his 100 with a nice boundary. Now he needs to double up.
