2013/14 BIG BASH

[bennymacca]

I thought no test players were in the squad and the test squad flies out next week. Faulkner has been named in test and T20 squad

Yeah interesting point. I think it's pretty clear that he doesn't play tests unless watto is injured though so I guess he might join them later

[Gozu]

Inverarity said Faulkner would be arriving in South Africa during the tour match before the first Test.

Tait performances so far

1/36 (4)
2/27 (4)
1/34 (4)
0/33 (3)
3/41 (4)
2/26 (4)
2/44 (4)

Batsmen dismissed: M.Hussey, Armstrong, Hogg, Maddinson, Cartwright, Cummins, Voges, Cutting, Kieswetter, Bravo, Rohrer


2 games where he has gone under 8 runs an over, 3 games he has gone for over 10 an over.


Looking at the batsmen dismissed only Maddison and Kieswetter jump out at you as early wickets...lots of players going the tonk at the end.

Prolific wicket taker
That means other bowlers get to bowl at batsman not set
If he is not a wicket taker than he is a liability , but he is
His over all record suggests he is a very good bowler

20/20 INTERNATIONALS
28 wickets
17.78 ave
15.35 strike rate
6.94 economy

20/20 CAREER
157 wickets
21.70 average
16.62 strike rate
7.83 economy

[bennymacca]

If he could somehow get that Econ down to 6.8 he would be world class

Article in today fish wrapper implies that Tait is safe for the next Big Bash season.


Hales and Ferguson unlikely to be retained....

[Squids]

Tait must have photos of Chuck

[bennymacca]

Ferg not really a T20 batsman, may as well promote ludeman and play head.

Reckon Sayers should get a gig too.


Hales is a gun but has done bugger all. Could have just as easily tore comp apart like wright

[Spargo]

Mel interviewing Roy & HG the highlight of tonight's game by a mile.

[Squids]

Hope the karma bus runs over the stars

signing a chucker

what were they thinking

[Squids]

VOGESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Squids]

So the next game is not until Tuesday week

what a bloody joke!

[the joker]

So the next game is not until Tuesday week

what a bloody joke!

lets put them up against the Aussie games then

[Spargo]

Come on squidly.

[Squids]

Oh I'm sorry the Aussies play everyday, my mistake.....

[Spargo]

Television networks programming priorities and ratings - apology accepted.

Thursday....

Saturday....

Monday.....


They have effectively killed off any momentum they had....once the Aussies stop playing no one is going to give two shits about the big bash.

[Spargo]

But they don't stop playing squidly, they're straight off to Sth Africa.
They've got a captive audience - I reckon they've got a bit more of a clue than you (with all due respect).

[Squids]

Most cricket fans will not give two shits if the game isn't played in Australia + be on fta.


no they don't......I wouldn't of put Andy Maher or that Howie wanker in the commentary box.

[Spargo]

Yes those two blokes are flogs - BUT, they needed a couple of hosts.
They host ok, they commentate shit - which is why they should leave it up to Punter, Gilly & Flem.
Moody & Mark (I did this, I did that) Waugh can **** off.

And I do think most REAL cricket fans will care what happen in Sth Africa.
We're playing the no 1 test nation - care factor huge, regardless of FTA or not.
You get the Internet up your way don't you?

[Squids]

Real cricket fans will care but the average flog wont and there are more average flogs than real fans.

Best commentary was today where there was no Howie and Maher trying to fit in.
