I hardly think he's interested in Tests any more anyway.

true would be nice if he did play it when it doesn't clash with any Domestic t20 competitions.
Russell probably WI best All round option as well.

Do you know if Pollard still wants to play Tests or has he given up?

no idea but must have given up now with WICB picking on him for the last few years.
think he wanted to play it before but WICB never picked him and was started to get annoyed for not getting picked in ODI/T20.

Both are not interested in test cricket right now.

Big bash now.

Pakistan t20s next month.

Hong Kong t20s after that.

Then the ipl.

Then the cpl.

Test cricket would only get in the way of a lucrative t20s career.

Russell stretchered off. A match too far for him.

These umpires are absolutely krap, Ian Bell got a stinker. They all look like they've been recruited from a baseball league as they give a decision so quickly.

Could be right rich but a lot of bowlers have stinkers when McMullan is batting.

when you have mccullum and lynn going like this its a pity they are batting 2nd as they will get this total with quite a few overs to spare

50* for McCullum and 98* for Lynn, insane hitting from Lynn especially as Brisbane chase down 174 with 5+ overs to spare

deserved his 100 but reached the target before he could get there

Against probably the best bowling attack in the tournament.

Good to see commentators pronouncing Henriques name the way it should be. The iberian way.
