This is supreme stuff from Amir.

I know this has been discussed a little but who could replace Ronchi for the T20 World Cup? Love Watling but probably not him.

I think they have Ronchi locked in, but will definitely reconsider options beyond that unless he has a screamer.

Derek de Boorder?

 

[Moss]

Much as NZ's batting has been faceplam worthy, been great to watch Pakistan's bowling today. Penetrative is the word for it.

Forgot about DDB, what's he been like in the Super Smesh?

 

[Zinzan]

C'mon donkey, do the right thing and put yourself and us out of this misery and voluntarily retire already.

At work, but if anyone can be bothered I'd love to see his ODI numbers post that innings of 170.

247@13 from 19 completed innings.

Cheers, even more abysmal than I thought.

Nicholls is the only guy who has showed patience in constructing an innings.

Yep, the rest of them have batted like idiots.

At that point (the 170*) I felt he was bringing in a real x-factor to the side with his batting down at 7. I recall seeing a stat that his strike rate in the death overs was among the best in the world. How it has fallen apart since.

 

[straw man]

In celebration of his technique, a Nicholls 50 shall henceforth be known as a trough, while a hundred is a ditch.

 

[straw man]

Not sure if agribusiness or just agricultural.

 

[Moss]

Funny, after successfully keeping KW off strike for much of their partnership Nicholls hardly seems to have had any strike since.

 

[vandem]

Nicholls is the only guy who has showed patience in constructing an innings.

And has played himself into the test-reserve-batsman spot. IMHO this is not a good thing, would have preferred Will Young who I think will have a strong test career.

 

[Athlai]

Santa is quickly becoming one of my favourite players.

 

[Moss]

As with Anderson, gotta love Santner's fearlessness but wish he'd put a higher price on his wicket.

 

[straw man]

Dammit Santner, that gif I had ready for the fifty will have to wait.

 

[smash84]

Need a Santa and Nicholls 80 run partnership here.

they managed 79

 

[Bahnz]

Gonna invite a lot of Howsie hate here, but I don't see Santer ever being more than a good number 8 in international cricket.
