not referring to lewis in particular, but with the money on offer in 20/20, you can understand the states trying to put the best possible team on the field rather than promoting youth.

Navy had a chuckle into his Sunday afternoon beer when he read that as well Big Cat.

Agree you can understand.
But surely when you push up a 36 year old not even playing district cricket ahead of everyone else in your state it cant be the right process.
Felt sorry for him trying to bowl to Bailey & Cosgrove who were playing him with a broom handle last night.

he's up to 42 now. he would want to pick up his pace soon tho.
on cue he hits a 4.
aus 4/173 of 37. they would want a big last 10 overs i think.

disagree. altho ultimately he went out at the wrong time, he did what he needed to do, ie not go out.
as with every innings so far, early wickets are putting a lot of pressure on the middle order.
England now 7-128 chasing 250.
Looks beyond them with no recognised batsman still out there.

mmmm, im not sure about that, but in the end his innings proved a decisive knock.
Weel done Aussies on winning the CB series. However, I am sure they are aware they will need to improve a hell of a lot to go far in the World Cup.
Both sides have played some average cricket. Granted, many of the better players have been missing, but still, hasn't been much great cricket played.
Been an underwhelming series I must say.

He can't win. If he throws his wicket away chasing quick runs he's let the team down, if he plays responsibly according to the situation with the last other recognised batsman, he's selfish. One thing beyond doubt is he's led the team very well. Good onya Pup, stick it up em.mb64 said:
I suspect you're being sarcastic. He has had a terrible run of form, but you know what they say about form being temporary and class permanent. Too good a player not to come out of it, and as I said, has skippered very well. He's obviously an easy target but I don't understand why people are so quick to sink the boots into him. Short memories. Parts of the crowd booing him onto the field yesterday was a disgrace.mb64 said:
