KP stays if I were the deciscion maker

Lehmann imho has been so lucky that he had a reputation as being a 'crowd fav', 'average joe', 'typical Aussie' type of personality otherwise I don't think he would have kept his job

When Lehmann had a crack at Geeves, the Geeves response was brilliant and showed the mentality of many of our sportsman. It's the ugly side of sporting clubs. Any C or D grader will tell you the "A grade are wankers" and the A grade will tell you they "What's the name of the bloke in the D's with the shit haircut". Geeves called Lehmann out and with every Tweet like the KP one, Lehmann proves Geeves right.

"So of course Darren Lehmann thinks I am an average cricketer.

It’s ingrained in him as a defense mechanism to either call me a s**t bloke or a s**t cricketer. Yet all he has unwittingly achieved is provide us with an example of the types of attitudes that still exist in our game: a recognition that the foundation for the code is real and that the views of anyone that didn’t play at a higher level than ‘Boof’ should be mocked, ridiculed and sent to the wasteland of internet-based journalism; regardless of the depth of knowledge, experiences and fact provided to support the view."
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

The Sixes are chasing 167 in tonight's second semi final.

Joe Burns bowls the first over of the Sixes innings and bowls Nic Maddinson for 1. Promoted up the order to open Maddinson, to my enjoyment, spuds it up again!!

Sixers doing their best to lose this.

Would be the biggest choke of all time if they do!

Nah, until it is confirmed the match was fixed the Saffers at the 99 World Cup own that title. Not just for the Semi.

T20 is a completely different game though where bowlers rarely get bags of wickets so it's hard to judge his quality.

I was going to say he better bowl well in the second half of the shield season or it'll make the selectors look silly but he won't be playing anymore shield cricket this season as he will be part of an eight man advanced party of Australia's test squad that will travel to Dubai on January 30th in preparation for the upcoming test series.

So with no current red ball cricket behind him (and for the other squad members that didn't play against Pakistan) it'll interesting to see how adjusts from the T20 stuff.

This just shows again that they should be playing some shield cricket before going to India.

I agree totally and that is why he should not be going.

Big bash season being raised from a 32 game season to a 40 game season next year.

Really think they are running a risk of overkilling it imho.

I agree but I hope they can at least squeeze the games into the same time period. The Sheffield Shield season break shouldn't be any longer than it currently is.

Seeing Maddinson fail again makes me feel better after my team didn't have a very good day in the field. He's such a spud and speaking of Spuds is @Carey doing his BBL Spud 11 again this season?

The Yawnfest gets longer and longer. Excellent! We're making a mockery not only of our domestic season but our international selection opportunities.

The Scorchers do it easy to win their third BBL. Outstanding performance from them.

Best team by far. Good to know SACA threatened Cameron Valente with no Shield Matches to get him to leave the Scorchers yesterday to be in the 12 for a Futures league match. He made roughly $20k by saying "no, my contract says so".
Disgrace by SACA. Similar to programming 2 games on Park 25 today. A B grade match and a U/14s.
