@taniwharugby thanks TR. Please look away while I do my fucken head in!!!!
-
So is Williamson injured???
I understand the need to rest sometime duringvthe year but not the fucking captain in the heightvof the fucking season. That'd be like restinga fit Read for the EOYT
Apologies for my profanity if he is injured, and if he is not, it's the most fucking ridiculous decision ever - he's the fucking captain!

I've already ranted about resting Kane earlier in the thread. Ridiculous.

Another very non-competitve game, I really wanted to see them have a good go at this total. They have a very poor team though.

@no-quarter I'm with you bro. I can't find a semblance, a smidgen of "sounds reasonable" for that decision.
Don't know but I'd bet the house that Kane would prefer playing

He's quoted as saying he won't know what to do with himself, and it will be hard watching from the sidelines. Hesson saying they're trying to ensure the top players don't get burnt out or something. Bowlers... yeah that might make sense. Batsmen just want to bat all day though.
-
Far fewer excuses for their T20 squad. But they've been weak sauce yet again. Go Phillips!! Great effort that man.

@no-quarter jesus wept
If batting for 3 hours, 3 times a week in a month burns him out, well then it's his job to get burnt out!
I actually feel for wee kane willyballs here

God what a summer. Just as the poms wake up it rains. Without them we're hoping this shower of shit finds some backbone.
Yay a bunch of dudes i have never heard of beat some other dudes from another nation. Wiipee

All over rover.
Great debut for Phillips, against a poor opposition but that'll do his confidence some good.
WI outclassed again.

Point of order - not Phillips' debut - but, you'd be forgiven for forgetting his previous efforts.
-
Yeah, depends on whether the ball does a bit due to the overhead conditions. Could be a bit of a leveller.

Munro is an awesome pinch hitter. I've been a fan of the pinch hitter since the days of Kaluwitharana and Jayasuriya, so I'm pretty happy with the way they're using him in T20s and ODIs.

@no-quarter Yeah - he's looking much better suited to this top order role than batting at 5 or 6.
Pinch hitter in T20 makes complete sense. I'm not averse to it in ODIs either - as long as there's sufficient batting lower down to cover the inevitable failures.
