1st T20I: Australia v England at Hobart Jan 29, 2014

[8Ball]

Loving Wade's work behind the stumps.

 

[Horrie Is God]

Lol@Poms..

Tough track to debut on as a conventional leggy. Looks like he likes to flight it and may even get some turn on a decent track. Unfortunately, if he flights it here, he will just get nailed. No turn on this road.

How things change.

A couple of wickets and a good outfield catch later and now it's perfect bowling conditions. He'll be full of confidence and bowling at tail enders who are looking to attack. Perfect situation now.

 

[Pete Cash]

I will miss Bumble he was alright

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Gave Enrique's a wrap and his next over has been shit. Suddenly he's stopped varying his pace for some reason.

Good leggie.

Ripper of a ball that. Pitched outside leg and hits middle and off

If Bopara gets in 6 balls earlier, we'd have lost that game. Muirhead and Coulter-Nile were outstanding with the ball. Going at less than 10 on that postage stamp is good going.

Somehow, the commentators will nominate Maxwell as the match winner here though.

Why is Hazelwood in a T20 side...is Laughlin dead or something?

Not sure nor convinced on that based on what we have seen from the poms

Poms were never going to chase it down when he came in to bat 5/98 ( & 6/100 in the 12th over) it was a carefree innings, no pressure as they never looked like winning.

Had the target been in sight or a bit easier whats to say the pressure doesn't get to him and he gets out playing a stupid shot? Just need to look at the recent past to know they play differently when under the pump

[TheParraboy]

Hazlewood not smooth nor toned enough for Locky...

 

[VictorTheViking]

Hazlewood showed some good stuff and some poor stuff....my concern is bailey who failed....again

The T20 World Cup is THIS YEAR...not in 5 years. Hazelwood bowls poor lenghths that gets carted...even Bopara carted him FFS!:lol:

Laughlin is our best yorker bowler, by an absolute mile.

More like not good enough...as shown in the last 2 overs last night! What did he go for 50 odd again! In a match where we would have won comfortably had it mot been for his pies!
