one of those seasons he bowled left arm ortho's fwiw.

sort of situation where you need to look past the numbers, and actually watch them play, imo.

Haha what a gun.

I've seen him two or three times and he's looked decent enough. No issue with extending the batting anyway as anyone else who comes in is bound to fail and bat 11 while doing so.

Although if they wanted to select a Kensington bowler surprised they looked past Opie given what he did last week.

they didn't select him as a bowler tho, he's a batsmen. they selected him because he made a 100 for the second 11 last week.

Would have classified him as a genuine allrounder but I guess you'd be more knowledgeable on him than I would be.

Yeah. These two need to get the total or get ****ing close. Because if we all know anything, it's that there's another collapse coming.

Strong looking tail, though*. If these two get past the total, reckon the tail could carry the team beyond 300. Was blown away with how good Mennie looked with the blade when I went to the last Shield game, huge front strides.

EDIT: *Not Worral. Never Worral.

Brown looking like a massive, successful LBW shout is in his future.

First dig points for SA. In good style too, love watching Ludeman bat.

Some good starch in the middle order, whoever picked Brown looking like an absolute genius now (I'm assuming it was Chuck).

Geez Sayers is bowling really well right now. Think he's been watching a lot of Philander because he's operating in a similar vein; swings it both ways, good pace, useful carry and on a tough length. Great stuff.
