    Having said that, P.Nevill's poor keeping directly cost the Renegades at lease one match this season.

      I haven't seen much of Jhye Richardson but he looks pretty handy. He's bowling a lovely, straight line at a nippy pace. He looks quicker through the air than high 130s

        Good prospect. Someone to watch for the future.

          Sri Lanka has the wood over us at the moment, they pulled that out of nowhere. Some pretty odd captaincy from Finch didn't help.

          Tye probably has his cards stamped as an international cricket player unfortunately - he's been all over the shop.

            I thought we had this in the bag, but all credit to Sri Lanka. Agree on Tye, I would have loved to have seen Jhye bowl the last over.

              Does Tye choke as soon as he pulls an Australian shirt on? He's consistently good in the big bash and inconstantly awful for Australia.

              I think it was mentioned that Sri Lanka has won 5 from 5 T20 internationals played in Australia.

                It's a shame but for a guy so consistent at the level below, his radar has really been out of whack.

                He wasn't as great in the Big Bash this year as he had been previously

                  Has he lost that slower ball that the batsman has to jam down on? It just seems to drop on them all off a sudden. I thought he had and he was lethal with that ball. It seemed like every time he tried to bowl it he would over pitch and get hit down the ground.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Potentially. He's been way too short in both T20s. I thought his last over at the MCG was very average and was lucky a few of those slow half trackers didn't go over mid wicket.

                      You're right. He did get hit square of the wicket a lot more than he was during the BBL.

                      t20 is a funny sport though. Dickwalla is supposed to the established opener in the SL side but his average is only 13.
