3 overs and conceded 48 runs.

Nice bowling x-man

 

[B-Bomber]

Wow. That's ****in shithouse.

 

[NSWCROW]

Old mate just got himself sacked methinks

 

[Mateyman]

Why did Doherty insist on bowling full tosses

 

[Bucking Beads]

We need a decent spinner

 

[Kram]

The only way we could've possibly done worse in that last over was if White got a bowl.

In all seriousness, that's poor captaincy by Bailey. Hogg was clearly the best of the spinners and should have been bowled out. Starc should have been bowling that final over.

As good as that score is, does anyone else think they should have scored more? They were cruising for most of the innings, barely looked like they raised a sweat.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Must be playing favourites in giving his second cousin the last over?

 

[Underdog]

LOL Bailey is there as a professional captain and he gives the last over to Doherty...

Enjoy your last game bud.

The fact he is captain has made me struggle to take this side seriously. It's so mind bogglingly absurd.

 

[HeavyPop]

surely doherty has to play the first test based on his performance here..

 

[E Shed]

That was good to watch. Really are there 2 players you'd less like to bowl to in full flight than Gayle & Pollard?

 

[beez]

That's ridiculous that Gayle only faced 41 balls

 

[Daz]

If you're going to just bowl darts you either need to be a chucker (Botha), a giant (Gayle) or both (Samuels). X is not up to international cricket and Bailey a pretty shit specialist captain.

Inver has dementia.

That last wicket was sublime bowling. Who knew they'd try and smack him over the fence? Fell for the X factor's 3 card trick!

 

[DamoESP]

Xavier Doherty in for the last over against Gayle and Pollard....

 

[Baz_hawk]

I cannot understand the thinking behind bowling Doherty. He was smashed earlier and didn't bowl well at all and then the captain hands him the ball for the last over. Ridiculously poor captaining and it's made a tough chase even more difficult. Warner and Watson will need to be at their best if we are any chance I feel, also going to need a fair amount of luck

 

[tazaa]

Gee. That was bland. What terrible performance by Australia.

 

[djrossie16]

Great inning by Gayle. Just like in the tests in OZ a few years back (when the media were really looking to put the boots in) he plays a sensible innings when it counts.

 

[W.C. Fry]

That was pathetic captaincy and bowling for the final over. Bad, so bad.

 

[RickSanchez]

Bailey is a ****ing god damn dud. How the **** is he captain. Our 20/20 captain choices are absolutely ridiculous.
They said before the game that West Indies can't play spin. What a true statement considering our spinners are horseshit and don't even really classify as spinners.
Rather Wade have a bowl in the last over, gave West Indies some easy runs that last over. If we win this, we will beat Sri Lanka.
In other words we won't win this. Surprised we got this far though.

Rage quit.

So true...nearly dropped a sitter as well

[Kram]

Seriously that was ridiculous not bowling Hogg out when the other option was Doherty.
