      Kicks off tonight in Oz against Oz.

      Can we get our Number 1 ranking back if we win?

          @KiwiMurph has that right. Tomorrow - Sat 9:20pm at SCG.

          No. We end up 1 point behind Pakistan. Drop to 3rd if we lose behind India.

          Not sure what the weighting is for home matches?

              We need to win our next two T20 games to go back to 1.

                  Are these fuckers wearing black, or is it just really really dark green?

                    Pretty silly from Munro.
                    I know he always has a go, but this guy is a pretty unknown bowler, at least have a look at one ball before going for it.

                        Fuck sakes now Guptills gone, this fucker is on a hatrick.

                        Perfect situation for Taylor, but they seem pretty set in their order regardless of situation, so can’t see them changing it.

                          Doing plenty off the pitch, bad toss to lose. Though I guess it should still be doing a bit for us when we get the ball.

                                Bruce, good for fuck all like I’ve been bleating on about for a while now.

                                Wow, the excitement of watching our boys play in a series with a couple of the big boys has been whipped out from under our feet.

                                3/16

                                120 a good target from here.

                                      Apparently it was more important to include journeyman who has clearly shown he's not international standard Kitchen instead of developing the most promising young quick we've had in some time. Bizarre selection.

                                        Shame too as it'd be cool to see Ferg hit the mid 150s with the Aus speed guns.

                                          Let’s talk about Bruce, he seems to slip under the radar on here.
                                          What has he actually done?

                                          I think I remember one 50 last summer?

                                          He’s out of chances as far as I’m concerned.

                                          Bring in Chapman, Devcich or even Nicholls.

                                            He is there to hit and he does a decent job at it. I don't think he is anything more than a T20 player at best. Of the three you mention, only Chapman really competes with him.

                                                        He is a good hitter I mean. His T20 international stats are poor. He always maintains a good strike rate.

Only saving grace was finding a way to turn off the aussie commentators and live on crowd noise and stump microphones. They are beyond a joke. So one eyed it's like hearing a booth full of Justin Marshall commentating Canterbury games.

                                                                        Let’s talk about Bruce, he seems to slip under the radar on here.
                                                                        What has he actually done?

                                                                        I think I remember one 50 last summer?

                                                                        He’s out of chances as far as I’m concerned.

                                                                        Bring in Chapman, Devcich or even Nicholls.

                                                                        He is there to hit and he does a decent job at it. I don't think he is anything more than a T20 player at best. Of the three you mention, only Chapman really competes with him.

                                                                        A decent job, really?

                                                                        What do we class as a decent job?
                                                                        30 off 15 once in a while and nothing in between?

                                                                        He is a good hitter I mean. His T20 international stats are poor. He always maintains a good strike rate.

                                                                        But it’s not much good having a good strike rate if you consistently score fuck all.

                                                                        Blundell needs to bat through the rest of the innings at 120 strike rate, the rest need to go hard at at least 200

                                                                        1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0
