Bit of a wind heading to the Randwick end here today.

 

[RAPPA]

The buttons on Finchy’s shirt getting a good workout

 

[Plugger35]

Rogers another Stars potato, they should have opened with Harper.

He is in now though at least.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Duds have started well lol

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Rogers has been underwhelming in this tournament, time to give Kellaway a go

 

[Plugger35]

Duckett looking dangerous against Dwarshuis.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Duckett looking very good.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hobbit looking good

 

[Plugger35]

Duckett putting on a Bazball clinic.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Duckett just assaulting the white ball.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Why would you bowl the left arm spinner in the powerplay? Geez henriques is normally astute

 

[Aussie_boy]

Would have to be close to the shortest ever batting combo here.

 

[In the Thirds]

It seems the background noise is louder than the commentary?

 

[Plugger35]

Great fielding, that looked like a four or a six from Harper.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Keep bowling spinners

Lol

 

[Plugger35]

Duckett bringing up his fifty in style with a six.

 

[Plugger35]

If Maxwell can tee off with Duckett this will be something to see.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Harper really is plod

 

[Plugger35]

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Aww.

Was enjoying that.

 

[tigs2010]

Disappointing that had to end

 

[eddiesmith]

Probably shows the importance for England to get a tour game or 2 here next year, Duckett took a couple of games to get settled and get going.
