3rd T20 Australia v Pakistan November 18 1830hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[Moonwatcher]

Hopefully Maxy is ok

 

[NYRB]

Maxwell looks like he has done his hammie.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Johnson nailed that

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Like in the last two ODIs you mean?

This side is better with our t20 bats

 

[NYRB]

Australia been on Point tonight. Spencer Johnson has to be close to player of the series. He can do no wrong. Look at that smile.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

which bloke can bowl to gift them 50+

Get David to bowl

 

[Plugger35]

A classic Pakistan style collapse.

 

[NYRB]

Irfan Khan is seething as he walks off at his partner. I agree with his partner, there was never a run there.

Melbourne Stars going well

The one time Warner is worth listening to is when he's talking very current insights - current players and their habits, or coaching and training, and what/how players are taught.

So you've got Warner talking about outfielding in T20 and how players are taught to do it... then flog Waugh jumps in with "well you can be alert all the time, and here's how I used to do different/better as a close-in fielder 25 years ago."

The bar for cricket commentary is so incredibly low in Australia, especially when Warner is coming off as the insightful one.

I don't give a single **** what you were doing 25 years ago when you have a guy a year off retirement telling me exactly what and how players are taught!

 

[NYRB]

Let that be a lesson to other teams, dont run on Spencer Johnsons arm.

 

[NYRB]

Jahandad can bat but these two need to milk it until the 17th over then attack.

 

[Moonwatcher]

RIP Pakistan

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At this rate they will gift Hardie a 5 for lol

 

[PhatBoy]

Irfan Khan is seething as he walks off at his partner. I agree with his partner, there was never a run there.

He probably shouldn’t have started running before he said no, then.

 

[NYRB]

Shaheen only has 1 gear as mentioned by Howie. And he is right.

 

[NYRB]

31 balls in hand and 3 wickets left is a long time. No Howie you can slog in the last 2 overs . Milk it till the 18th over.

 

[NYRB]

Warner reckons 'somewhere near 145' is what Pakistan should be aiming for at 95/7 at the end of the 15th over.

Enough of your predictions Dave.

 

[NYRB]

Melbourne Stars fans worried for the upcoming season.

Big Bash kicks off in a month. And he isn't getting younger too. He is 36 years old and its around the age where injury occur more often.

They need to go after it to win

 

[Voice of the G]

This side is better with our t20 bats

Marcus Harris has got runs at Junction Oval today in the 2nd innings and a win for the Vics.Please do not write him off yet lol.

 

[NYRB]

They need to go after it to win

I just cant see them scoring 50 in the last 5 with 3 in hand.

They will do well to get 3/5ths of that.

 

[Plugger35]

Shaheen batting like Wasim Akram.

And he's gone.

 

[NYRB]

6 then out for Shaheen.

I don't think I've ever listened to a Mark Waugh sentence and thought "huh, that was insightful / interesting".

Warner has certainly exceeded my admittedly low expectations.
