If it's the same comment I am thinking of, I kinda agree with him.

No doubt the selectors have made Bailey T20 captain as they have bigger plans for him down the track. But Surely he is not among the top 6/7 T20 batsmen in the country. That being said if having a specialist captain is the difference that wins us the T20 world cup, then I won't be complaining.


(For those who didn't hear the comment that I am thinking of, Nasser basically said that by bringing in Bailey Aus are handicapping themselves, as they basically HAVE to keep him in the team now no matter what even though there are better batsmen).

We almost pulled it off last time, after all.

Got a lot of respect for Clarke when he would consistently put himself lower down the order (and eventually retiring from t20is afterwards).

7th wow, lofty heights. Will be difficult to win. WI in a word are dangerous.

Such a strong playing X with Johnson Charles making up the numbers.

Bit of a caribbean thing, these surname-for-first name/first name-for-surname monikers.

Used to be a Trinidadian footballer called Stern John too.

Well that was neat and tidy. Smith confused by one that shaped back in... after two previous balls shaped back in.

Here is John's son Charles

Starc is seriously progressing as a bowler at the moment. One more season and he'll be the completely finished product.

Expecting big things from him itbt.

This Charles character would probably be a decent bat against club standard bowlers.

I'm calling him out as an international hack.
