Why is Ryan Burl in. 3 runs off 11 deliveries. It's really piss poor when you have Waller and the Greek in the squad.

It's a total joke. To be honest though, do any of us really care? It's hard to really get interested when we've got guns like Taylor and Cremer on the sidelines for no good reason.

Makes no sense to me. Even if Waller and Zhawao are ordinary players, at least they can hit boundaries.

In a perfect world, Burl would be a Test specialist.

Where to from here....

A slightly promising top order slog but other than that it was pretty appalling.

Maybe he can follow in Cremer's footsteps - he was a Test specialist from 2005-2009 :lol:

To be honest no matter who played we would have been hammered. Obviously a better beating but Finch was in ridiculous form earlier. It makes complete sense how they bashed Pakistan yesterday too.

Raza and BT and Cremer are definitely missed but they havent been training at 100% as well. They would have also struggled. At least Raza has been playing competitively. No way do you expect to walk out there and smash the Aussies everywhere if you have been at home for 3 months.

Nyumbu looked hopeless. PJ looked amazing against spin but struggled against pace. Hami hopeless against spin. Same old same old.

These selectors are absolutely clueless. This is a third string side. Burl just isnt a short format player. There are at least 6 better spinners than Nyumbu. This is shocking.

This team selection is ridiculous. Even for Prosper this is ridiculous.

Hami looks so out of touch as well. His time might genuinely be up this year. Waller surely is a better t20 player than Burl
Utseya clearly didn’t have carte Blanche in the selection process or he would have picked himself as captain and excluded all the whites and then blamed Campbell for the loss. :lol:

If we’d lost by 200 runs they would still come out with excuses, ICC would still give them more cash and life would go on. I’m missing something here, surely today is the day they should step down?
