Yeh, Gangnam style, seriously:$
I like T20, and I'm not ashamed to admit that (prefer it as a domestic tournament to international fixtures though), it's not test cricket, but so what, it offers different things. But it's shit like that duck, and the fireworks, and the f***ing dancers that are so cringeworthy and provide so much ammunition for the haters. :thumbsdown:

Seriously, can we not just treat it like cricket? Does anyone really go to a T20 game for all that extraneous shit? I doubt it.

Equally as shocking is that KP still isn't an international cricketer. Enjoyed Vaughan's subtle little sledge Tweet
It's amazing how quickly he just picked it up, looked a tad rusty after that first 6, but once he got rid of the cobwebs, he started to look really impressive.

But yeah, it's a joke how England have handled him (even if he is an arrogant flog), if we'd let clashing personalities affect the Australian cricket team Warnie wouldn't have taken half the wickets he did, and everyone would have missed out on something special.

Yeh all of the above, but it's the player commentary that shits me the most:mad:

I wouldn't mind it if they didn't try and make it so banter-y, was great in season 1 when Warnie said he was going to bowl McCullum around his legs, and so it happened. Less is more though.

Gee, Watson got 25, shock. This prick shits me to tears.

I appreciate that Les, but I'm well past my best. I was in the Victorian Schoolboy squad of 20 in the mid 90's before I found my life calling of gambling and drinking. :$

and the replacement is??
If we had a decent top order we could trial a younger keeper, even the bloke who killed it last night in the T20. Carrying Watson and Rodgers makes the side so hard to chop and change because they're more likely to fail than not, but rapid change could kill our pretty good form.

Ludeman is a great keeper, his batting is not good enough because as you said our top order is not great. Wade is the better batting option, but his keeping is shite.
Hartley is a quick fix but he is 30 odd. really need to develop that young guy from WA

Ludeman averages 25 in shield cricket. Just sayin...
