Blessing and Richie would have caused the Irish all kinds of problems if they'd bowled this morning on this pitch

[Terryalderman]

Ya i think Campbell deserves a go. It's been a slog for him and he's a good player.
I think he's closed the gap on Burl big time. Burl has a higher ceiling for sure, but aside from this last tournament and his last domestic innings he hasn't been great. Campbell is his like for like and Burl has to now work for his spot. He's always dodged domestic cricket which annoys a lot of folk.

Madhevere in a dangerous phase here, he's looking like he wants to change tempo.

Why does he skip domestic cricket Googly and how does he get away with it?

Got a bit to busy there

But well batted Wes

[Jemisi]

missed chance to launch from a good base there

not sure his plan of walking across to off against Campher was a brilliant idea

[Flakeman]

Surely someone on here knows on good authority if there actually is a quota here?

[Googly]

Of late since he fell out of favor he's even been playing club.
Maybe he has an arrangement with his franchise where he doesn't play too much red ball?
One of the many bad things about the politics here is it makes players eventually throw their hands up and put themselves before team, it's a big problem amongst some of the guys. They let the senior national guys do as they please to a large extent, and some of them believe the lower standard is often detrimental to their cricket.

[Googly]

Ya Wes got too cute with that shot, I had a feeling he'd do that at some point. If the pitch is holding a bit you're never really in.

Fantastic innings from him nonetheless.

How is Campher suddenly getting it to swing? Is it reverse?
