Also, Queenstown has become my new favourite ground in world cricket. Incredible scenery.

I never thought I'd see a bigger total off 20 overs than the 263 in that IPL game last year when Gayle got 300. 275 off 20, with one more to go they could easily get the 300!

Got a Renegades membership for Christmas, was going to buy one anyway so saved me money. Loving going to the Big Bash though. Renegades put 2 great games in a row on...can't help but think though that it's primarily due to Finch and Pattinson.

Faulkner's not the long term option though, our batting is still to frail we need a proper batsmen. Maybe dropping Watson down and bringing in someone with some consistency for the number 3. I have no idea who, no ones exactly setting shield cricket on fire.

Don't know what it is but i just can't watch Big Bash, it's to much about luck and hit and hope i think. Test Cricket i can watch continually.

Or are they calling up Faulkner to give Watson some competition for the all-rounder spot in the team?

I wouldn't mind them giving Doolan a chance, he does have the best figures in shield cricket at the moment. Just heard on 'Inside Cricket' apparently there keeping the same 12, and the two in doubt are Watson and Harris (no surprise there). So it seems like there thinking Faulkner can replace either one of those. England on the other hand seem to be all over the place, some saying Prior to come back others are saying Bairstow to keep his spot and the quicks could switch around Rankin and friends to come in.:d

The only guaranteed thing with England at the moment is that Panesar is out with a calf strain.

Watson really isn't an all-rounder any more though really. The second he has to rely on his bowling on justifying his spot in the side he is gone, he's too unreliable and susceptible to injury bowling long spells. He's either a batsman or he's out.

If Faulkner can improve on his batting game, Watson will be out anyway.

Yeah, theres a few people that dont watch it. I dunno, it's just a fun alternative to a Test match. Pattinson has been great, came in from the third game and his numbers have been 3/36 and 4/24.

The thing I hate most about the T20 is the flashing bails and pyrotechnics.

Good to hear, he'll more than likely be on the plane to South Africa with the boys than. That series is gonna be a belter, the two best bowling attacks going head to head.
