The selection panel sounds similar to Dragons coaches over the last decade. Why give exciting young guys a go when veterans well passed their best and rapidly going downhill are available?
At first T20 cricket just seemed like too much bashing the ball and not enough of anything else but in the last few years it ha grown on me.
Ryan. When it first hit Australia with the states playing it was acceptable. Then BBL was introduced and with it came blaringly loud music, fireworks, dancers, crowd promos. All a bit too much for this old fogie. I do enjoy the simpler version played at club and 2nd X1 level as 20 overs is pure entertainment.
I don't know like "niter riders". Nite raiders is ok but something a little more aggressive is good, IMO. How about "Black Death"?
Dusk Demons is good.
Lets vote on these two and we use the winner in our posts.
I didn't even know it was on!
NZ thrashed us!!!
I'm sure
RedVHeartbeat will correct me if I'm wrong but Warner and Finch have been scoring 'sporadically' for while now. After this tournament I think both might be sent on their way.
Warner has always been up and down in all the cricket formats. Finch more consistent. With age comes a loss of powers, as these two are eye players the first thing that goes is hand/eye co ordination. Then you look hopeless. This is happening to Finch in white ball and Warner now in red ball. That means Test cricket when that is the last thing you need. I give Warner one more year in Tests, Finch will retire after this world cup.
He struggled because of the reasons I outlined to you. Steve Smith has to be recalled as his 31 off 42 balls will likely have won you the game as he is the glue that binds the team. You also need one of those in this format.
Know we have disagreed about this before. I know the theory of a batting anchor but I'm skeptical about it in T20. If there is one needed at all, still needs to be scoring way faster than 31 off 42 balls. In one-day cricket, the anchor needs to be scoring at about a run a ball on most wickets.
