23 Games in the Power Surge Era at the GABBA. The median Power Surge runs is 23 runs when batting 1st.

Old man Dan Christian gets a game tonight which is interesting.

Looks a lovely batting deck at the GABBA tonight.

 

[Plugger35]

Davies needs some ramping tips from Konstas.

 

[PoopingHindi]

EDIT: **** me, even Pluggers at it.

Injured and no he’s worse mate

 

[hutchy31]

More moronic batting.

Should just copy and paste this for every match. Play some normal cricket shots before you start panicking with the risky stuff you idiots.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Davies is a dead set brain dead buffoon

Plays straight hits boundaries…

Let’s ramp it

 

[madjoe]

davies mentality needs a lot of work if he wants to play at the next level

Needs to bat at 6. Let him be that finisher. He’s not a top 4 bat

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Okay who is this bloke under the Gilkes shirt he’s usually such a spud

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Swepson really looks hideous with that ponytail

 

[madjoe]

ewww country road in the off season

 

[Gift]

Swepson is fodder for Warner

his been good in the 50 over cricket to be fair

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Swepson is fodder for Warner

The reminder of somehow this muppet played test cricket

 

[LukeParkerno1]

his been good in the 50 over cricket to be fair

He’s usually awful for the Thunder or he’s good for a game and then nothing

 

[LukeParkerno1]

20 more than usual for Gilkes at least

 

[Plugger35]

Not a bad knock by Gilkes standards.

You aren’t wrong haha

 

[hutchy31]

Another braindead shot by an experienced batsman who should know better.

Pathetic from Billings. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Honestly can we see off their best bowler? You have 3 overs of Swepsons trash to belt
