It’s been a tough round for many of the all rounders:

Edwards - bowls 1 over, gets injured. May miss the second game of his double, and need to be traded.

Curran - played the first game, injured at training. Misses second game of his double, likely needs to be traded.

Stoinis - did not bowl tonight, may not warrant holding if bat only.

Connolly - did not bowl, may not warrant holding if bat only.

For anyone who held all 4, that’s potentially 14 opportunities to score (batting + bowling innings played in R3) down to 7 … a 50% reduction, or the equivalent of having perhaps 4-5 SGR players injured and missing altogether.

Potentially 2-4 trades needed as well.

Brutal!

Play a lot of cricket but reckon the “must appeal for run out” is stupid rule…particularly if in a noisy stadium and umpire doesn’t hear an appeal….then what? They’ve got the technology and seem to check for stumpings even when super obvious it wasn’t out
Stoinis was standing right there side on to the stumps. Should’ve seen it was close enough to appeal at least.

Maybe teams should have to appeal for a no ball otherwise if the umpire doesn’t call it, it’s play on…

Did Warner suck Maxwell in there?

He’s kind of claiming it on the telecast, and he seemed to have some basis, but I didn’t catch the whole episode to know for sure.
