A little less twitchy now.

A little less twitchy now.

Still in the balance whilst Webster there imo

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pope has dragged his figures back to 34 runs per wicket which is less than 10% of the target.

 

[Moonwatcher]

3 wickets since I ordered pizza. Everyone order a pizza.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Mitch Owen's red ball technique is putrid.

AS red ball cricket should be.

Gee your expectations are high tbh. Same for batsmen performances.

Except for the saviour of Aus cricket, Tim Ward (who averages about 2 more than Jordan Silk, who you’ve just put a line through). Presume you are affiliated with him in some way since you talk about him like he is the second coming of BC Lara.

Mitch Owen's red ball technique is putrid.

For some reason, they seem to bowl a different line and length to him in the red ball game. Like some others in here, I cannot understand why Webster is still batting as low as 6.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pope 3/71 now. So a decent contribution ultimately.

 

[Moonwatcher]

4/71

 

[Moonwatcher]

Never in doubt

 

[Gak Attack]

Shithouse by Tassies tail, just had to hang about with Webster. Owen should just give up on long form.

SA all but sewn up a home final with that win

This is the value of Pope, when you have runs on the board and batsmen have to start playing shots.

 

[Pugsley]

I'll eat my words well bowled Lloyd Pope but I can't see how Lehmann stays in the side.

Mitch Owen's red ball technique is putrid.

Really disappointing game. Faced four balls, one of which he scored a run off and two others dismissed him.

The "n" word, mate which has crippled SA cricket for the 40 years I've been here.

Think the chance of a Lehmann century is better than the chance of debuting some kid and getting runs.

What other examples are there? Nielsen is an elite gloveman despite his father's name.

You're right. I'm struggling to think of someone at grade level who is scoring enough to be promoted.

Going back?

Sayers family.
Brett Swain taking truckloads of wickets at grade level and not being promoted.
Jamie Panelli.

It's not just now. It's been there for a long time.

Sayers was a gun. I'll take your word on the other two.

Aaron Sayers wasn't a mug cricketer either. Their father coached Woodville pretty well imho.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Only one of Victoria/WA can win 2 matches and only one of Vic/NSW can win 2 matches. I think SA are in the final.

Nah. One bad season dragged down his average from a healthy @40/42. Having his best season. Silk w'd murder for Wards current numbers, at least his first three games before the BBL break.

That’s not how statistics work
