Brett Lee, man of the series

 

[hineyrulz]

Hardly suprising, he only went for about 80 runs the whole Tourney.

Ridders needs sleep.

Pulled an all-nighter for the cricket and stayed up to watch the 4 nations.

Was worth it to see our boys prove themselves as the greatest club side in T20 history.

 

[Non Terminator]

Bloody hell I love this Blues side.

Smith is a very interesting bowler.
Too many of the balls he bowled were complete rubbish, but he mixed that up with several balls that were unplayable and unreadable.
I think he can really turn into our next spin king - all he needs to do is to get rid of the rubbish deliveries, and maybe get the good ones on the stumps, because the batsmen weren't good enough to get near them when he got the flight, dip and spin happening.

That will come with time, if he continues to work hard on his bowling. The hardest part of being a quality spinner isn't bowling the rippers, but rather limiting the amount of rubbish balls you deliver.

As you indicated, could be one for the future.

NSW, naturally wins.

We have the best domestic comp.

So much for Twenty/20 being all about batting.

The team that won had the best bowling side.

It is good to have good batters you need them.

But if you have the best bowling side, just like tests and the longer limted overs game, you win far more than lose.

The principles of cricket do not change.

:lol: he'll have 1 night at least before he comes back down to reality.

For mine, still does not spin the ball enough..and they were playing in India! Hauritz was turning it more and he is not a big turner of the ball. Needs to really work on his leg break as to be honest it looks like a meat pie, fipper is giid but you are relying on your variation too much.

I see smith as more of an all-rounder whose spin bowling is a very handy convenience.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Well now we know that NSW, not Victoriania, are the best club 20/20 side in the galaxy.

I thought the final was tonight :crazy:

 

[Ridders]

Lol

 

[Sood]

GOO NSW!

Imo Steven Smith has Cam White potential - ie world class spinning all-rounder. Unfort Cam White never lived up to his hype, but Steven could potentially become the player that Australian cricket had once hoped White would be. Or not, time will tell.

He was very good in this years emerging players tournament for Aus though, was one of the top run scorers and had same amount of wickets with a better average then Jon Holland.. donno why Holland got picked for Aus odi team, must be Victorian bias. :lol:

Agreed, batting all rounder for mine. Smith could well be a top 5 batsman who can bowl "useful" spinners.

Hes a work in progress, Jenner said he needs 5 years before reaching his full potential.
