Curran is not great at the shorter format. Did they consider that perhaps? It's not correct.

Bennett was going quite well. Looks awkward not moving his feet and backing away, but it's effective. Perhaps got a bit lucky threading the gap, but then is a pretty good puller.

Marumani survives a plumb lbw first ball going for a switch hit needing less than a run a ball. What a weird thing to do

Poor umpiring :lol: then that ball that was wide even though he got tangled up in it. How’s that wide

Hits the batsman and gets called a wide? :lol:

Had Madhevere guided that throw onto the stumps that would have been a runout.

Hard to fathom Marumani's innings. I back him all the time and he keeps doing stupid stuff.

Trying to finish the job quick for run rate is probably the only explanation for Marumani. He was stone dead first ball though haha

4 categories-
A grade is about 10k
B is about 5
C is about 3
And then there's Emerging

There's a 5th unofficial category where you bribe and use influence or suck dick, bend over or tythe.
This is a disgraceful sham. People are making a lot of money here and it's not benefiting our cricket.
Sure a handful of players are making some needed cash, nobody is begrudging them that, but this is beyond shady.

The bulk of the players are fielding and being reserves for some much needed cash, if they're ever going to get paid.

Raza gets a rough decision. Pitching outside leg and missing off, not sure how our umpire got that wrong.
Jayasuriya with a very suspicion no ball to Raza who promptly dollies it to Faraz who spills it :lol:

Musekiwa gets a shot further up the order and promptly holes out to Mavuta, who's bowling beautifully.

Gleeson bowling beamers can't be fun. That can kill you.
