Let’s talk about Bruce, he seems to slip under the radar on here.
What has he actually done?

I think I remember one 50 last summer?

He’s out of chances as far as I’m concerned.

Bring in Chapman, Devcich or even Nicholls.

He is there to hit and he does a decent job at it. I don't think he is anything more than a T20 player at best. Of the three you mention, only Chapman really competes with him.

A decent job, really?

What do we class as a decent job?
30 off 15 once in a while and nothing in between?

He is a good hitter I mean. His T20 international stats are poor. He always maintains a good strike rate.

Top catch by Warner

If @Virgil wasn't at Foo Fighters, his mangina would have exploded

[hydro11]

I would have brought out De Grandhomme and just hoped he could hit us out of trouble.

[Canerbry]

Meh, Australia can only win at home.

[Donsteppa]

I miss the West Indies.

Fucking hell where was this bowling against the Poms?

We're following standard protocol for a BCs team in Oz, playing you guys back into form

[nzzp]

Well, we're farked. Only saving grace was finding a way to turn off the aussie commentators and live on crowd noise and stump microphones. They are beyond a joke. So one eyed it's like hearing a booth full of Justin Marshall commentating Canterbury games.

FML.

[No Quarter]

We should be looking to get through to 130ish and then hope our bowlers can exploit the conditions with the new ball.

But it’s not much good having a good strike rate if you consistently score fuck all.

Blundell needs to bat through the rest of the innings at 120 strike rate, the rest need to go hard at at least 200

[canefan]

Someone please tell me we lost the toss and got sent in to bat

[No Quarter]

The pitch is two paced and there's plenty of seam movement. This is a shit pitch for a T20. If we can get to 130 - 140 we're in this. Probably a big if though.

[Gunner]

Wow an LBW review from a million miles down the track.

Suppose not much to lose by goin for it when you’re so far on top.

Not out of the question, if CDG can tee off, and we also get a couple of fast lower order cameos....

[Gunner]

We’ve really put our foot down in the last couple overs.

Run rate has rocketed along from 5 to 5.06.

[hydro11]

10 an over gets us to 140. It seems a long way off right now.

[hydro11]

I actually like how Blundell came out and batted. I would rather have a more aggressive wicket keeper though.

[No Quarter]

Cult hero CDG to get us something defendable.

[Gunner]

Oh so that’s all the F1 had to do instead of getting rid of their grid girls...throw in a couple of token blokes amongst the hot women, make them dance like the wiggles and no one blinks an eye.

[tubbyj]

Aussie coms really are pricks. You would think they were still whipping everyone like around the turn of the century not ranked 7 and coming off having their ass handed to them by England

He'd have to play down the right line to start with
