Black Caps v Bangladesh
-
Bloody helk. Did not realise Astle has only bowled 35 overs in total in his ODI career. Why are people picking him the CWC squad. Flavour of the month?

Ferguson to Sabbir Rahman, no run, 154.9kph yorker just outside off. Looks to jam this through the off side but too late
Holy fuck that's quick.

I don't have a genuine hatiest team at the moment. Used to India for a long time but not any more.

I had love/hate for Sri Lanka when they were going through their appeal for fucking EVERYTHING stage. Mixed in with Murli owning us... good enough reason to be a bit bitter I reckon!

I generally hate teams that are not that good but have arrogant fans.

I know basically nothing about them. Bangles fans are horrific. NEVER admit the other side outplayed them. NEVER give credit. Just excuse after excuse. Went down this rabbit hole in last years IPL when reading about Sunrisers. Lot of bAngles fans due to Shaquib. knobs the lot of them

I've been wondering that too. I started to post something a week or so back but assumed I'd somehow missed something obvious about Astle in domestic cricket. Only advantage I can see Astle bringing over Sodhi might be his batting...?

Henry is so journeyman.

Don’t think I’ve seen a bowler who can vary so much, on one hand he can rip through teams on the other he dished up shit. Often in the same over..
-
Fuck Ferguson is fast.
Cleans up the Bangle to trouble us today, maybe he was tired but I don’t think he even saw the ball. -

I do think they need to accept that Henry is good (sometimes very good) for 6 overs at the top of the innings but that's generally it.
So who bowls his remaining 4? Perhaps he has to bowl a straight 10......?

Or dont pick a number 10 who cannot bowl 10.....

That would be my preferred option

We've got a batting line-up that could flounder us a world cup on their day, but I don't think we've got the bowlers - other than Boult.
Lochie is quick, but inconsistent.
Matt Henry can bowl a decent opening spell, but doesn't have enough variations to be a decent option at the death.
Neesh can't bowl a consistent line - he's straying down leg regularly.
Timmy's stats are very poor since the last CWC.
CdG is cannon fodder unless conditions suit him.
Santner is ok as a spinner, but he's no world beater in terms of taking wickets.
Ish can't bowl six good deliveries in an over - and hence is under pressure from Astle.
