Can't wait to see Shahnawaz Dahani and Bhanuka Rajapaksa in action. You just know when those two get together you can throw out all the record books!

:?


I guess Ashton Turner is a reasonable get, but still... the Stanbic T20 seemed to attract a higher calibre.
Morgan, Mills, and Banton not big enough names for you?

C-grade mercenaries like Tymal Mills adding a 700th meaningless franchise to his list does nothing for me.

Even though Brian Lara was past it in the Stanbic and just after an easy pay cheque, at least he was a legitimate superstar of the game.

Face an over from Tynmal Mills :lol:
He put Ed Byrom on crutches from a blow to his hip the other day. He's lightning fast. An absolutely life threatening bouncer. Probably still top 3 quickest bowlers in the world.

I'd love to know exactly what happened there. You'd think Mukhulani has the pull to get that duty plus whatever fine waived. Talk about bearing a 10 year grudge. Those lights will be beyond obsolete by now. New ones would be a tenth of the price, but of course double when they doctor the invoice :lol:

How are Mills and Banton playing? Isn’t it the middle of the English season….

Also Morgan has supposedly retired, from all cricket.

The T20 is nearly over and there's a block of 4 day stuff starting. When is this T10?
I'd like you guys to watch Mills. Scary MF.

I'd like to watch Banton in the nets as well.

He bowls 90 and looks like he's at 80% :lol:

Last year I worked out each delivery he was paid about £1000.

I believe they are T20 only specialists, so as long as it doesn't clash with the Hundred I think they're good
