Why does Sams decide to bat well always against us

 

[ZTop]

The X factor is made for Chris lynn

I literally know when Bryant's going to get out

Lynn gone, that's a big wicket but I am loving watching Sangha, absolute gun in the making.

Burnsy makes double figures!

 

[Sproj]

Burnsy, in the form of his life!

Form of the summer mainly

Denly looks poor at the moment

He almost ran himself out in a ridiculous fashion as well.

And seriously, is Chris Green the best looking cricket player of all time? He's dreamy.

He's cut his hair which kinda ruined the vibe a bit. Still attractive though

Burnsy should have played the last test like this.

Both Love & Burns have had excellent seaons. It was a while back, but Love had a season where he scored 3 or 4 hundreds in the domestic comp, maybe even as an opener. I remember going to the 'Gabba for one of those games it was against a full strength NSW side. His ODD record isn't great, but enough about Love.

Heazlett has had plenty of time to prove himelf at the Heat. 31 matches, 31 innings, 14.86 avg, 122.86 s/r he has 16 6s in that time at a rate of 0.51 6s per game. Compare that to Burns - 48 matches, 47 innings, 26.65 avg, 122.49 s/r and 41 6s at a rate of 0.87 6s per game. While Burns might be more towards the end of his career than Heazlett is, the Heat can't affort after such a(nother) poor start to the season rely on developing Heazlett who has enough of a sample size to say he is a bust at T20 cricket, at least within the Heat system. Those numbers don't stack up enough to keep Burns out of the side. At least not for the next 4-5 matches. If Burns continues to fail, then maybe it is a different conversation.

Also, here are those 'grinding' innings you were talking about:

Strike rate of 151.85

Strike rate of 178.57

Strike rate of 153.33

Burns is batting well tonight, being very aggressive, so credit must be given where it is due.

Just on the innings you’ve highlighted; 2 are from 2013 and the other from 2017. The fact they’re a long / very long time ago aside, I’m quite sure anyone could cherry pick a fair few more than 3 of his innings across his remaining 44 BBL innings that make him look sluggish at best (BBL08 would be a good place to start).

Regardless, as a Queensland sporting fan, I’m more than happy for Burns to prove me wrong, but I will need a lot more than a couple of innings from 7 years ago and him being on his way to one good innings this season. If he can bat this way for the remainder of BBL10, then I’ll happily eat humble pie.

Match fixing much?

 

[broncos4life]

Run a ball, typically where we go to shit and inexplicably lose it.

 

[ZTop]

Seriously denly? What were you thinking? No need to do that?

Great knock from Denly
