Second T20I in Darwin tonight, Aus bowling first and going for 10 T20I wins in a row. Carey in for Inglis (who is unwell) and Abbott in for Ellis.

Fair enough, the series has been heavily advertised on all the CA related media.

I thought during the first match he reminded me of Cosgrove.

Super innings from Brevis.

I'm not a fan of him but he has the most BBL wickets ever, been a consistent performer for the Sixes and has been a very versatile quick bowler/bowling allrounder, never really had any large injury lay offs like other quick bowlers/allrounders have had so he's always been available for Australia when needed.

was a great innings to watch, had to laugh though, smashed the Aussies all over the ground, no ramp shots no reverse sweeps, gets to 100, next ball tries a reverse sweep and almost knocks himself out :D

The shot he played when he drop kicked Abbot (IIRC) 100 m + over deep mid on to the Micheal Long Learning Centre concourse where he kept his head down all the way was f***ing awesome.

I think its code to the professional punters that we're throwing the game.
As to TDK's point about him being the leading wicket taker in BBL, BBL is far from international standard, its worse than ODD standard, 2 extra teams for starters=talent spread thinner. Bowling at the death means youre likely to take wickets and dont need to do anything to get them. He is never bowling at the death for Australia so why pick him
