Taylor was determined to self destruct today.

[JC]

Well that was inevitable. So much talent, but so fragile.

[mariner4life]

pressure piling on Rossco, he'll get himself out shortly with something dumb, it's inevitable

MOTHERFUCKER!!! As i type, i swear to god Rossco

And that opens up our extended order of players who average in the 20s. Awesome

At least their keeper is not up to standard

[ACT Crusader]

Got himself in all sorts there. He's a very nervous starter ol' Roscoe

[JC]

Guppy back in the pavilion now. Have to say that was a sweet ball from Stoinis, but bloody arse.

[Donsteppa]

In hindsight I might have picked de Grandhomme over Ferguson. We might well need the batting depth, and I'm yet to be convinced that Ferguson is anything more than very fast and cannon fodder for decent batsmen*.

(* Buying some insurance of a reverse jinx early... looks like we may need one later)

[Chris B.]

Fuck it - and now Guppy goes and our promising start has turned into a fuck up.

130/4 after 23.4

Need these guys to bat through to the 40th over.

Choice of Munro over CdGh currently looking like a good one!

[mariner4life]

aaaaand now we're fucked.

Proper fucked?

Yes Tommy, proper fucked

I would rather have Neesham ahead of Munro. Crucial partnership here. It's a bit frustrating - we seem to get out to the Australian part timers a lot.

Or just bad balls with bad shot selection.

[Donsteppa]

Good thing we picked Munro over de Grandhomme.

[JC]

@mariner4life and it just got worse. Munro gone v cheap

FFS!!!!

[mariner4life]

because Munro is a bit shit

And so are we

fuck

[Donsteppa]

Batsmen phoned it in against Bangladesh a fair bit and got away with it. Not so vs the Arsetralians.

Australians might as well have picked Fucking Colin Funky Miller the way we're going retro and throwing it away against the part timers.

[JC]

3 wickets conceded for 6 runs isn't really good enough sadly

[mariner4life]

Stoinis isn't really a part timer, he's a very handy T20 bowler who is having a pretty good day today.

[hydro11]

CdG wouldn't have done much better given how he has done with the bat in international cricket.

[KiwiMurph]

Not sure why Munro was ahead of Neesham - they can improve on Munro surely.

Still a guy in his second international game compared to Starc and Hazlewood. Frustratingly like seeing off McGrath and Gillespie back in the day and then gifting wickets left right and centre to the next lot.
