Brumbies won by 8 wkts.

 

Green and Gonzo would be the most frustrating opening bowling partnership as a batsman, ever. They never give away any fucking runs, either of them.

3 - Ridd
2 - Blunder
1 - Green

Keeping:

Westlake +44
Boland 0

They've been talking about constantly since he came back and started posting.

I think it's inevitable personally but he'd need the young blokes ahead of him to fail.

 

I think part of what made Green especially crap last season is that he's a defensive bowler, which made him pretty unsuited to lead an attack that was full of shunts. The better the bowlers around him are, the better he'll be. I also think this is one of the main reasons the Cyclones have never won a premiership. They always looked to him to lead the attack and while he was a very good bowler and while he often returned a good average, he didn't have the overall impact on the rest of the attack that the other strike bowlers around the competition did. It left you with Johns as the striker and Green as the support bowler and it was never really quite good enough.

This is one of the reasons I always liked him as a rep bowler, and he's a good bowler, but he's no saviour of a crap attack.
