Reckon it'll be free entry tomorrow?

Probably have to pay for a museum tour.

Might get access to the ground though.

In my defence, it looked like play would go on tomorrow at that time

Gee Lynn is impressive.

Just toyed with Tait bowling in the high 140s low 150s.

India are going to smash the ODI's. Really barren squad. Very disappointing that Jon Holland missed out on selection. I guess the side will be:

Finch
Warner
Smith
Bailey
Maxwell
M Marsh
Faulkner
Wade
Richardson
Paris
Hazlewood

Boland
S Marsh

I like the Richo selection, but would slide Boland and Paris out for Holland and Behrendorff personally.

 

[BrunoV]

Why would Bailey get a gig ahead of Lynn/S Marsh? Ridiculous. Love Marsh or hate him he is easily one of the top one day batsmen in the country.

In any event, there is no point going back further than the current Big Bash form especially since T20 and 50 over Cricket are more or less the same in terms of the qualities you look for in players and their performances.

Wade has been jerking it with the bat for the last few months, too.

 

[Zach Package]

you could play them all in theory. If we're basically treating this as an A series we may as well go the whole hog and tank it to blood some young blokes and get a bit of match practice in. We'll lose, but at least I'll be intrigued

Finch
Burns
SOS
Bailey
Lynn
M.Marsh (Or Maxwell if he needs a hit)
Wade
Agar (or Faulkner if he needs a hit)
Pattinson
Sandhu
Paris

its like a 5 match OD series taking place months after the OD WC, months before the T20 WC and during the BBL. it's barely worth reading the presser let alone thinking about it deeply.

George Bailey has an ODI average of 42.

Burns is a horrid OD player. Also would have Handscomb in there, very good OD player.

Lynn's List record isn't that crash hot but he is seeing it like a beach ball at the moment.

Lynn's List record isn't that crash hot but he is seeing it like a beach ball at the moment.

Record? You have to average less than 40 to get a test call up.

 

[Doss]

India touring again?

Yay.

Not.

He averages 31 i the 50 over format and 30 in the 20 over format.


Stats and formats can be decieving.

Averaging above 30 in those formats is pretty good.

T20 crickt; yes
ODD; No

 

[BrunoV]

Anyone understand what is meant by "Bavuma became the first black African to hit a Test hundred for South Africa"?

Were they painting Ashwell Prince and JP Duminy?

Maybe they mean full blooded?

I dunno, but it's extremely poor wording at best.

 

[Phone]

in south africa you've got black, white, coloured and asian. coloured people are of mixed descent and basically associated with the Cape region. gibbs, prince, duminy etc are coloured

You are to never again suggest Handscomb be a back up keeper at the higher level.

His keeping has been pedestrian borderline u14 backstop

Let's say we have this XI:

Warner
Burns
Smith
Lynn
Handscomb
M Marsh
Nevill
Starc
Pattinson
Lyon
Hazlewood

and Nevill goes down injured during the match and subsequently cannot keep. Who do you propose takes the gloves for the rest of the match? How do you fail to understand that this was what I was talking about? Not that he should be the second in line keeper on the tour?

as Phone said, there's a distinction between genuine black africans and other coloureds as far as south african sport is concerned, and off the top of my head the i reckon there's not more than a half dozen that have played test cricket for south africa.

Ntini, Tsotsobe, Rabada, Bavuma, 'All hands' Zondeki, has Phangiso played a test?

 

[Doss]

Ignorance on my behalf. Obviously Prince isn't of full African stock like, say, Ntini was but I still thought he was classified as African.

I knew Gibbs and Duminy are coloureds.

Different situations!!

I have seen (possibly on the cricket board itself) you advocating Handscomb as a back up keeper in the squad. If he is good enough to be in the team, it is as a batsmen, NOT as a reserve keeper. It has been shocking..

Never as a back up keeper in the squad. Just in that situation. It's purely your misinterpretation.

 

[Pweter]

That Zampa run out of Neville tonight was, without doubt, the most bizarre dismissal I've ever seen.
