T20 World Cup

In what language does Neesham mean half volley?

Neesham is the ultimate reputation pick. He's been bowling pies for years

Atrocious bowling from Neesham

Neesh gets smoked - 18 off his first over.

Once again our opening bowlers have failed to make inroads in the power play.

We have the batting to challenge for the title, but our bowling is well short.

Better from Jimmy in his second!

Yeah, only two off the over, so back to 0/20 off two for the Neesh.

I never actually realised quite how bog standard Neeshes T20 stats actually are. I can’t believe he hasn’t even managed a half century in 96 matches. Only the 57 wickets at just under nine an over too…..

I've always assumed that the theory is we gain more runs from Neesham the batter than we lose from lose bowling. I think its worth it, especially when we have Ravindra and Phillips there too. Asking for 4 overs total between those guys doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Injuries and illnesses mucking us around, but Santner, Ferguson, Henry, Duffy plus the all-sorts looks decent enough.

I don’t see much of a bowling plan fromJacob Oram and the bowlers.
We are playing in India hit the pitch hard use some variations and let the ball die so you have to make pace on the ball and not come on.
Our lengths are really poor just bowling along the pitch letting the ball come on nicely so you can hit through the line with ease.
We should know better than this .

Our bowlers are taking some tap so far

This is grim stuff against a minnow. Crikey they need a breakthrough.

Mick Honky is quite the Celtic while guy name.

McConchie takes his turn in the smoker.

Mince and cheese all round..

It's weird it feels like they are getting absolutely tonked, but it's not exactly a RR to write home about.

Guess it is Canada, but they're probably better than Australia.

Great to see our bowling being taken apart by world heavyweights Canada..

This is laughable amateur hour.

Doesn't bode well for the rest of the tourney. Our bowlers are shit

The CAN openers are killing us.

I’ll grab my coat.

Reckon just short of a length slightly outside off with no movement might be one to try.

Learnt nothing from the white ball series they played on the same pitches pre WC.

About time

Keeping the powder dry?

Jamieson.

Well done fella, least shit bowler on display today

Kyle gets one as GP intercepts a ball that looked boundary-bound.

116/1

Can the pressure of needing to start quick derail the Canadian order?

I don’t think they have any powder this is really poor it looks likes we have no idea how to bowl
In India.
Super 8 s could be embarrassing if we do not change our length especially and use more variations.

Slightly surprised they didn't play Sodhi. Pitch is obviously a belter. Anyone know what Canada's bowling is like?

Pace of Henry finally

IIRC didn't we just win a limited overs series in India? Haven't we played an entire T20 series in India prior to T20WC?

Yes got smoked in the 20/20s but we did win the one day series.

What's a competitive score in T20?

On that pitch at Chennai you need 180 at least

A bit worrying that Big Kyle looked knackered after three overs and we've still got this over from Neesh and one more to find.

There is a long boundary there on one side where the pitch is now,always a fast outfield but the pitch can hold up if you use the pitch.

can't be knackered after 18 balls. Surely a bug illness or injury.

Great knock from Samra
