Cricket Thread: Sth Africa in the Top End (3 x T20s, 3 x ODIs)

[Cromulant]

Predictably only 1 forced change... Boland for Hazelwood.

Playing Marsh even though he can't bowl.

Playing Marnus even though he is mentally cooked.

Cummins reckons Marsh "will bowl if we need him"

Rubbish he will

Thought you were going to say "Playing Marnus even though he can't bat".

Every under 19 player

Found this semi interesting, every player to play for Aus in under 19 tournaments and not so much those who did or didn't go on to a test career but how many must just drop out of the system

Dan Vettori said the same thing on 5AA tonight

Good opportunity to play Webster, but our selectors are traditionally gutless to make change unless it's bleeding obvious!

 

[Interloperer]

Marsh is one of Australia's best with the bat at the moment and clearly deserves his spot. But it's absolutely wild how little the selectors seem to care about the presence or absence of his bowling.

Seriously, if you need your fingers taped together on both hands, you don't field slips

And you should NEVER bowl a no ball with your first ball.

Oh

 

[spenze]

Bumrah chucks it

nah, I don't think he does.

In saying that, imagine someone no balling him for chucking

 

[spenze]

Rohit always been that big?

He has been on the seafood diet for years

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Rohit always been that big?

He's always been fat

 

[Interloperer]

There should be a statistical category for "Bye, but shit bowling" for test match keepers IMHO.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

nah, I don't think he does.

Not an umpire in the world that would have the guts to do it
