Sage. But well done the the Yarps.

But seriously. A 35 year old coming into a T20 team.

Yes?

Punter did say when they were over here that he doesn't know if you're allowed fielders in the stands.

Though he also said if you get it centimetres wrong to a guy like that it could be the difference between restricting him and the ball disappearing into the stratosphere. He said we have the plans for him but are not executing them well at this stage. Remember he was on fire in the WorldT20 champs in 2007 and in the IPL; it's not just us he gets away from.

The Saffas seem to be a bit hit and miss with Warner too.

This is the first time I've seen Warner bat, and he looks a bit crap TBH. I hope Australia don't take T20 seriously because if they do, Geeves & Harwood......

Parnell looked class in the U-19s, he looked even more classy today. Definitely someone the Saffies could look to fast track into internationals as he looks the goods.

Almost up there with giving a Test debut to a player approaching 37... still, they could play the attack from last night with McGain in place of Johnson, and still whitewash us in the Ashes and the ODI and T20 series.
