The amount of money these blokes earn, they don't need to worry about getting a professional job after cricket.

I understand that the top 1% such as Kohli, Steve Smith, Warner et al get paid more in one year than 99% of people earn in a lifetime, but with stats in several other professional sports such as 60% of NBA and 78% of NFL players going broke within a few years after retirement, factors such as poor financial choices post-retirement, failed investments, major health problems or a divorce/alimony/child support can severely financially dent anyone at the least expected moment.

Sams is so awful!

Admiral was awesome
We don't seem to have a whole lot of bowlers capable of keeping a final over tight with a team still in the hunt.

Sams after having a good first over, should have bowled the third as well.
Abbott went ok from his two, probably could have bowled one more, and Tye one less.

Daniel Sams has benefited nicely from that 2 paced pitch that the Thunder played on last season, nothing else about his bowling gives me any reason to believe he is a quality bowler

Went to the IPL, went for roughly 10 an over, today in the last over trying to defend 14, they did it with 3 balls to spare

Need some death bowlers badly. Matt kelly from WA looks the goods.

The Aussies are missing an Ian Harvey-style bowler, who can keep it tight and limit the batsman's scoring opportunities.

Our death bowling has cost us the last 3 games, it’s truly horrible.

Our death bowlers have a great brain for Cricket.

Andrew Tye bowls 3 wide half volleys and wonders why the 4th ball in the same spot gets hit to Newtown.
