Then lets pick the captain after that

Mate, I didn't know whether you were taking the piss or not initially but it makes sense, how hard is it to listen to your bowler to where he wants his field, all the plans take place in the video room anyway and it isn't that hard to pick heads or tails.


Definitely not taking the piss. All cricket teams should be picked 1st and then you choose the best captain from those 11. Paine has no credits in the bank like Mark Taylor did when he went through that slump.

Aus XI-
Finch
Short
Head
Maxwell
Maddinson
Stoinis
Carey
Agar
Tye
J. Richardson
Stanlake

A pretty decent 10 out of 11 side.


How the hell did his name pop up again?

2/229 off the 20 overs. I've never seen a hit wicket off a wide before, but that's how Finch was dismissed for 172

Quite astonishing that he hit his wicket with his bat whilst trying to hit a ball 5 feet wide of off stump :shock:

Now he doesn't have a state contract and yet he's picked for international cricket!

Yep it's a joke! I still struggle to see what they see in him, it feels like they're still waiting for him to live up to their expectations. He's torn some games apart at ODD level but he's never really backed up his talent with bulk runs or consistency in any form of the game after starting red hot in state cricket eight years ago.

Any reason why the match is on so early in the day over there?

One of the commentators said they had it on earlier so it wouldn't clash with the telecast of tonight's World cup match.

Cheers. I flicked over briefly when the bacon and eggs were sizzling and they said it was 5 to 12.

Has a contract with the Stars.
Why would you need a state contract to play T20?
