They fucking caught one!!!!!
Well batted Perera.
BCs need to take a long hard look at their bowling and fielding, that was so far below par it wasn’t funny.
I thought Sodhi bowled really well. A huge reason for why we had them on the ropes at 128/7.

Very true, I forgot about him after all the carnage I just witnessed...

@Damo that’s just stupid. It’s his first game of one day cricket this season. These are the games where you want bowlers trying to bowl length balls in pressure situations.
And keep trying them when the opposition is eating them for breakfast?

@Godder that's like excusing hookers who can't throw into a lineout.
The only plausible answer is:
Practice till you fucking can! It's your job, what you're paid well to do!
Or halfbacks who can't pass or commentate

If this was a one off then that would be a reasonable comment.
However he's been rubbish in ODI's for the last couple of seasons now. He doesn't take wickets consistently at the top of the innings, and he doesn't bowl well at the death.

@Siam If it were that easy, everyone would do it, but very bowlers can drop the ball on the penny every ball, and even those who can get mauled by batsmen who move out of their ground a little, giving them the ability to move forward or back as the ball is being bowled, changing the length to a full toss or half volley.
-
@Godder 4 identical full tosses all hit for 6
And no bowler can land it on a penny every ball so that's a pointless standard
We're talking about achievable skill acquisition, difficult yes, but being reliably able to bowl a yorker has proven to be a handy tool of the profession
Southee has to do better than that

Interesting to see his performances in chart form. Looks fairly consistent at first glance but avg has crept up from 30 to 35 and the wicket taking chart has a lot of gaps since 2015 with lower counts as well.
