India vs South Africa T20 stopped due to a snake on the field

I have had it with these mf snakes on this mf pitch!

2/54 with Henriques and Patterson just coming to the crease. Key partnership in this game, you would think.

4/64 with Holt just coming to the crease. Key wicket in this game, you would think.

Such a shit shot from Henriques.
How good is WA's bowling stocks?

You would hope for NSW's sake that Holt isn't out of his depth.

See what I did there?

5 down. Can we win by an innings?

Nope.

Running through the tail nicely though.

Morris has been excellent this match. Wonder who gets dropped if all the quicks are healthy? Maybe Kelly. Or just don’t bother with the spinner if playing somewhere like Hobart.

Why is there no crowd for the T20?

Wednesday night, next to zero series promotion etc.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Interesting seeing Smith dropped and Finch moved down to the middle order. Essentially you're replacing a guy who scores too slowly with a guy who won't score at all.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

This is about normal for any match at Carrara.

Good to see even rusted on cricket fans finding the light.

Unfollowing this thread, don’t bother.

Someone didn't watch the Grand Final. At least this had some amusing **** ups.

To be fair, anything would appear dreary after the sensational Sheffield Shield opening match we've had these past 3 days.

Honeybadger translator:

I hate cricket and you all should too.

This was a troll so please don't troll back. Later, bye.

 

[Ljp86]

Anyone know why Richardson isn't playing in the Shield match?

Rested. Will be available next game.

Paris is an under rated batsman as well, WA has a decent tail.

Wyllie into the nervous 90s

Paris has a first-class century so can definitely bat.

Did Shaun Marsh retire or is he just injured atm?

Minor knee complaint. Should be available next game.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

So far against the Windies Finch has scored 55 off 50 balls, and 15 off 19. Strike rate leaves a bit to be desired.

Batting carefully for his international career.

I don't think you can criticise his strike rate in that first match given he had only faced a dozen or so balls before everyone collapsed around him and we lost 3/2. I thought he played the conditions well. Second match yes you can.

What are people's thoughts on Tim David? When he was playing for the Scorchers I thought he was handy but inconsistent. Wasn't too upset to see him leave last year for the Canes. And he didn't play as well for them.

Now I see he's taking guard for the national side?

Been a hit in other T20 leagues around the world, the IPL paid a mint for him recently too.
