2021 T20 WORLD CUP in UAE and Oman, Oct-Nov

[JJ]

Great win Straya

I see Warnie wants Stoinis at first drop, what an embarrassment of riches, Marsh or Stoinis

is there anyone sane involved in planning?

 

[TheParraboy]

And how crap are the Saffas if they can make The Admiral and The Toyman look like cricketers ?

Their bowling lineup is pretty good, credit where credit is due

Batting wise they are bottom of the barrel, if Dekock does nothing, then very little mustard afterwards unless Miller tees off

They should have picked Faf, he was available and killed it in the IPL, would have brought in Smith like experience as well

Id like Shane Warne to be our sole selector for a full 12 month period in all formats. Where we play India in a test series, and poms in white ball cricket as part of the schedule

If we get less than 50% win ratio (includes draws in the equation) then he is banned for life anything to do with cricket

12 months pain, for eternal bliss , its worth it

 

[baggygreen man]

I was reading that SA cricket wanted him back for the Cup. Was sure I saw his name in their squad or was it a senior moment. eek!.

The Toyman

???

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pretty surprised there was no Clive Rice for South Africa.

What do you want? Someone with small levers batting at 3?

 

[Twizzle]

???

the Big Show

he throws the toys out of his pram when he gets dropped

yep... I'd go Special Steve...

If you do ok here it'll be behind the bowlers, not levers and toys

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'm happy with MMarsh at 3, he deserves a go. The problem is that these pitches aren't conducive to levers, the shambles that was the WI in the first game shows that. Guys going out looking to hit 'maximums' are probably going to struggle especially ones that have been out of form for 67 years like Finch .

Not sure

Bowlers will keep us interesting in most games, but ultimately we need couple of guys to step up in this format and destroy

Its happened across all formats for us last decade plus. Bowlers keep us in a game, or set things up nicely , but batting let us down far too often

Then give your best bat as many balls as possible, surely?

anyway T20 so not sure why I care, guess it’s because we’re in home detention here . Even T20 seem ok in that context

Thanks for your brilliant insight

Im on the phone to JL

Wish me luck

Surely we can slot in Victor Trumper in our top 6 somewhere?

Insulting me and JL at the same time, good work…

Clem Hill and Warren Bardsley unlucky to miss out.

NZ will win it..

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Sri Lanka v Bangladesh bangers are a smokey for mine for the whole kit and caboodle.

Which means they'll probably be flogged and head out at the group stage.

 

[mozza91]

Bit fiery here between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Interesting viewing.

It's a nice lead in to the India vs Pakistan game, Pakistan are going to be quite dangerous.

They haven't played each other in a T20 since 2016.
