He certainly won't make as a tennis star based on the 2nd ball

With no Smith or Warner wouldn't George Bailey if fit be chosen as skipper for NZ ??

Cricket Australia has added young Queensland and Brisbane Heat Sam Heazlett .. 😱pen_mouth:

Hasn't even played an ODI for his State… 😕 😕

 

[Tigerdon]

what a game over at NZ. Aust need 20runs with 1 wicket in hand

 

[Geo]

Stonis played a Super knock…

Pretty rare to be in a 50 run partnership and the other bloke ends up Run Out without facing a ball.... :laughing:

 

[WestsBenTigers]

:rant We need to send Stoinis to India NOW!!! :rant

He was our best bowler with 3/49

He scored 52% of our runs and remained not out

Still think Zampa should've played instead of Faulkner.

Dissapointing considering how many batters we had.

Our top 6 combined only scored 56 :brick:

BTW who was keeper, I assume it was Handscomb

 

[Tigerdon]

Yep. Handscomb was keeping, drop Two chances.
Stoinis played an amazing game with bat and ball. Genuine all rounder.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

No way should Stoinis go to India. Blasting a pop gun Kiwi attack on their backyard pitches is not an indicator of form.

For what I saw he played well as an all rounder in the BBL (which also is no indication of how someone would go in India.)

We've seen numerous times that short game form doesn't account for jack in red ball cricket. Otherwise Glenn Maxwell would be the next Jacques Kallis.

Sean Abbott can consider himself unlucky. Would have thought he'd get picked ahead of Richardson.
