3rd ODI: Australia v South Africa at Canberra Nov 19, 2014

[Twizzle]

imagine if these 2 batted for 50 overs

problem is if one of them gets out, in plods Watson and the run rate drops

 

[hineyrulz]

Finch plays far to many dot balls.

Comment on the Crininfo commentary feed:

Dwayne Schultz: "How is Morne Morkel able to play so much cricket without picking up injuries? Normally when Australia has a fast bowler taller than 5'8 they play two matches in a row and end up missing the next two summers with stress fractures/foot problems/gout etc."

 

[Twizzle]

Completely agree, they make us look like idiots

Notch being rested atm for what ?

They belted us in Perth when we rested our entire bowling line up yet none of the saffas were rested

 

[The Charlatan]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't match fitness (i.e. playing injured,) considered rehabilitation back in the day?

 

[Twizzle]

dunno mate, but can you imagine one of the selectors tapping Dennis Lillee or Thommo on the shoulder and telling them " you are being rested" ?

no other country rotates thier bowlers, only our softcocks get rested

We can thank that f**kwit Pat Howard, can't believe that clown still has a job.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee Finch doesn't mind hogging the strike.

 

[Twizzle]

Finch is a good hitter but cannot pick up the singles or rotate the strike

 

[Twizzle]

maximum from Davey

 

[hineyrulz]

Good start, one of these needs to push on to a big ton.

 

[The Charlatan]

Looking at the pie chart run graphic on Cricinfo, Finchy can put the ball anywhere. Scoring in virtually every corner when he feels like having a go.

 

[hineyrulz]

Plodlander goes for another 6.

 

[Twizzle]

Now Gayshaw wants to blow Finch.

As Hiney said, Pat Howard is to thank for that clusterf**k. No wonder the merkins breakdown if they don't maximise their game time.

Thommo spent most of his career playing injured. Ryan Harris plays busted everytime he walks out onto the oval.

need 300+ on this deck

Now Gayshaw wants to blow Finch.

According to Brayshaw you're alright if you can hit a six.

He'd do an O-ring watching 9th grade burglars.

At least Finch has upped the SR.

 

[Twizzle]

no balls helped but he does need to rotate the strike a lot more imo

 

[hineyrulz]

Finch just needs to be feeding Warner the strike and hitting the bad balls, Warner has faced 15 less balls which is not what you want.
