i find the way you shuffle your bowlers around quite interesting. Lots of 1-over bursts. Apparently there is some benefit to giving a bowler a 2-3 over spell, apparently it helps them settle into a rhythm

This post is a prime example of the need for the questionable react.

My batters have been doing weird stuff recently. Even ignoring the ultra-random Butler century, we've had this SCT thrashing, and now this. Wtf O'Callaghan.

So I tend not to give Viljoen, Ncanana, Passmore or Coetzee (not currently playing) greater than 2 over bursts (frequently 1). Between inaccuracy and poor stamina they frequently give runs away, but take wickets at opportune times as well. I will also give de Klerk (who gives runs away) an occasional over in the first 10 but otherwise leave his overs for later in the innings. Passmore will most likely get a 3 over spell later in innings but will struggle through it with his poor stamina.

Its one of the reasons Burger is so important and I get frustrated. He is my banker that needs to at least keep the runs down if not take the wickets, while the others bowl around him in the first 25 overs. If he is getting carted then the others are much less likely to get the job done.

Be nice if we could make a contest of this but at this stage I’m purely curious to see how many sixes Hlengwa can hit…

Astronauts very much still in this. Ball losing it's shine and the bowlers losing their steam. Hot day, two set batters and plenty more to come. Sherwood might be dismissed due to exhaustion soon, but asking rate still under 6 so it's still 60/40 I'd say.
