KFC Twenty20 International Game 2: Australia v England @ MCG (Fri)

[Pumbi]

Maybe players should stop the infatuation with trying to hit over the top and try to work the ball around for 2's on the bigger ground. 10-12 runs just with 1's and 2's is better than 10-12 runs with 3 dots.

Lolwut? How can one be better than the other?

 

[Jimpson]

Well if Smith and O'Keefe are the best 2 spinners in Australia is it any wonder our batsmen cant play spin? They just arent used to quality spin bowling in the Big Bash

Yeah that half tracker was unplayable.

Aren't you the guy who reckons David Hussey is the best batsman in Australia?

Might not be the best time to show your face around here.

Unless you've come to fess up to your horrendous mistake?

 

[kingbet22]

i love how the camera keeps showing tim neilson and he keeps yawning and looking like he isn't interested...the guy is a bloody twat...what does he even do? he certainly doesn't coach

 

[Cotchin 9]

Get Carseldine in the side FFS.

 

[eddiesmith]

The Vics still trying to deflect the blame! Last game it was Warner and now it's the state of spin bowling in NSW! Face it your current mob can't handle it beyond the realms of domestic cricket.

State of spin bowling in Australia as a whole

Is it any suprise Duss batted brilliantly last week against a team without a spinner?

Australia will never improve whilst States dont give spinners a go and those who do are average compared to what they play on the international stage

It just is man. Pie = 3.14

 

[dumb]

i guess if there is one explanation for hussey's crap that isn't himself it could be neilsen.

 

[Gak Attack]

We should make Dussey captain, let him have the curse... he can't get any worse.

Doubt you would ever find anything from me calling Duss the best in Australia, but hey you like making up crap dont you?

[Jolldo87]

Pushing the 1's and 2's now. Much better cricket.

 

[stmookeyj]

Lolwut? How can one be better than the other?

You're scoring off EVERY ball rather than just half, putting less pressure on yourself and your partner to score, much less hit the boundary. Plus it's more frustrating for a captain to set a field to cheeky singles and 2's than it is for a well hit boundary.

 

[Jimthegreat]

I want Lisa Sthrelekar in. She's our best spinner...lol!

 

[Kerrby]

I'm too scared to watch us bowl. They'll beat our score within 10 overs.

****ing Bell.

 

[Japes]

Was just asking.

Good to know you're backing away from showing any support in his hour of desperate need.

 

[Goldencats]

Did I miss anything in regards to Mike Hussey? Why isn't he in the t20 side? He takes an absolute dump on his spud brother

 

[lemmon]

Clarke copped massive amounts because of his T20 performances and strike rate, I wonder if Hussey will get the same...

 

[Grimwood]

KP?!?

Oh dear.

Oh look it is our run rate since T.Paine got out

 

[eddiesmith]

Probably a combination of resting and the fact the next World T20 is a while away and he is an old man already

 

[Goldencats]

150? Haha are you for real Heals?

 

[stmookeyj]

Short fine leg in the ring again, the easiest spot to hit a boundary in this form of the game (particularly to a PT bowler) is at fine leg, so PUT HIM ON THE ROPE.

 

[AG]

Oh look it is our run rate since T.Paine got out

lol. Australian run rate =

 

[tek87]

i dont mind trying these 'new' players out, but Mike Hussey and Brad Hodge r in our best 20 20 side now. So do the best play for australia or do we strike a better balance with our experimentation. I like winning with our best and if they start consistently failing, give others a go.
