Yep, and he can just go straight off the bat batting at 6 vs pace and spin.

I rate him and he is the exact type of player Australia needs (as opposed to repurposed top 3 players batting at 6 and 7)

What are the rules at international level about representing 2 countries ?

Was surprised to see that David had 20 T20Is under his belt, then remembered up until a couple of years ago he was playing for Singapore.

You can play for affiliate nations and lower tier nations whilst being able to play for a preferred top tier nation eventually once selected. Now that he has played for Australia he will have to wait a period between his last game for Australia and being able to play for Singapore again if he wants to. There have been many cases of players doing this. The last one I can remember is Roeloff vandermerve who plays for the Dutch again following his retirement from the saffa team

Jade Dernbach (pleb english fast bowler for those who remember) has apparently turned out games for Italy.

Good blast from the past. 15 years ago the Poms had him earmarked for big things but he was never more than a stock standard FC quickie. Had a terrible action and I'm surprised he didn't have more shoulder injuries (maybe he did?).

He bowled absolute pies. Kept getting a gig for England because of all his different variations. They quickly realised if all the variations went to the boundary it was bad for business

Yep - third-worst ODI economy rate in history.

I remember it being bad but I didn't remember it being that bad.

He was one of the first guys I got sucked into by the English hype machine that their press likes to run.

Yet another South African Pom too. Has decent mixed heritage to also qualify for England and Italy.

Yes, I recall the variations being whether the ball went to the boundary or over it.

Can't get over how much the England logo looks like an angry goat on the Fox scoreboard

England going for a world record score here.

Swepson doing his best to help them

We finally get an international fixture and they throw out this dog-shit attack.

Utter disrespect for Perth fans.

Should have just borrowed the WA bowling line-up

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Give Finch or David a bowl, maybe they’ll mishit some of the pies those fellas toss up.

Aren't a bunch of former Kiwi's now turning out for the USA?

Always thought the US should be able to field a pretty good cricket team with all of the ex-pats there from India, England and the Caribbean.

Huss out there in the England kit. Disgusting.

Cam Green's current stint in the T20 side is coming to an end, has been found out as an opener.

To be fair it's not his natural position

Pretty harsh, was put up to open having never opened in any cricket, limited T20 experience and I assume no experience in India and scored two very impressive 50s, including the fastest anyone's ever scored v India. Hasn't made a lot of runs in the few games since but that's life as a T20 opener

Dont think he has been found out at all.
He has been asked to go out and smash from ball 1. He has also come from subcontinent pitches to Aussie pitches so getting out cheaply in 3 innings with that remit and a fairly drastic change in conditions is not unexpected.

 

[Dazzler9]

Get Greeny back amongst the Shield action. Good for him, good for WA, bring it on.
