Not enough batting batsmen in our lineup.

Marsh coming in at 4? What?

Amazing bowling from Ish last night. I'm sure an IPL contract isn't too far away.

Australian Domestic Season

BBL stint rejuvenates Sodhi's love for the game

Ish Sodhi, who played three games, found dip, drift and turn to pick up nine wickets, including the second-best figures in the competition's history, and the best since 2012

7th bowler used too! http://www.espncricinfo.com/big-bash-league-2016-17/engine/match/1023637.html

[No Quarter]

Holy fuck 6 wickets in 3.3 overs, that's nuts!! Please bring that form back to NZ...

[No Quarter]

Haha Warnies ego might take a hit if he reads this:

"The boys have rejuvenated my love for the game," he said. "On the field and off it, just the conversations I had with guys like Brad Hodge. Today I got to meet one of my heroes growing up, Stuart McGill, and you can't put a price on that. I will take some great experiences back home with me and hopefully I can impact some of my team-mates."

What parallel universe is this?

[mariner4life]

I don't know, but in this universe some kid called Stanlake is getting his ass handed to him some bloke called Khan, and it's 36/0 after 4

[mariner4life]

make that 36/1 because Hazlewood is quite good at the crickets

Double Head. 3/100.

Was impressed by the way Ish spoke in the interview too

The speed and control of his bowling on a big stage suggests all the ingredients are already there for significant success in all 3 formats so hopefully he can get the mental side right and start ripping through teams in whites one day soon. He seems to fall away in effectiveness in test cricket - bowls bit slower and less consistently although that's to be expected given the duration of spells,
He said he talked to MacGill about patience and longevity of spells - good!

Incredibly fucking stupid by the worst commentator of the big bash

[Duluth]

@mariner4life video blocked in NZ

Did he suggest tactics?

[antipodean]

@Duluth Relayed to on-field captain that the statistician had pointed out one of his bowlers had got Shane Watson out two times in the last eight balls. So Hodge promptly brought him on to bowl the next over at Watson.

[mariner4life]

ah shit.

Passed on a stat about one of the Adelaide bowlers had dismissed Shane Watson twice in his last 8 deliveries to him. Lo and behold that bowler got the next over.

Now, Hodge probably (almost definitely) already knew that, but it's not a good look.

The guy in question is a tool, and just seems to excited to be along side, or talking to, some of the most famous cricketers in the country. Fuck him off.

[Hooroo]

He didn't get his wicket though did he??

I understand the kerfuffle over this though as otherwise you would mike up the coach if you c9ould do that

[No Quarter]

Not the right way to go about it but if it led to Watson getting out then I don't have too much of a problem with it.
