If you ever watch Munro bat you will understand.

I have no idea how he's maintained that average by pulling/swiping every single ball. He literally only has 1 shot.

A bit of a mystery then!

Anyway, my point is not that Munro is better or worse than Franklin. Just that Franklin is, imho, not good enough as a batsman, and a risk as a bowler.

Munro bats exactly how you'd expect an ex no11 with a decent eye to.

yeah it's not ideal, and Elliot is definitely a better batsman than both but is injured.

Franklin is very much in the team because he's not incompetent against spin.

I was going to ask if that was an Anglicised Kiwi accent or a Kiwicised English accent, but its clearly the latter.

Very useful wicket - Mitch quicker than batsmen think once again :happy:. Since we keep dropping Sangakkara maybe we can bowl out SL at the other end.

Herath really can actually bat. He's just chosen as he's got a bit older to employ the shot selection of an absolute clown for some reason. I believe he's batted seven a few times in domestic cricket, even. If he chooses to bat properly he could build a partnership here; no doubt he will swipe across the line and get bowled soon though.
