Re: The Cricket Thread
A win is a win, even by a narrow margin. Good for confidence. I hope they can build on it as the season continues.

Re: The Cricket Thread
It would have been a total disaster if they'd lost that.
But like you said Red...they won..and we'll take that every day of the week.

How about those first two overs from AJ Tye! Averaged 3.2 runs a ball
I can see why Finch was looking to throw the ball to a bowler who had bowled out his overs over AJ.
Despite dropping a couple of catches Zampa was effective. I’m surprised with his confidence up they did not try giving Maxwell an over. In the wet conditions slow bowling was working.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I'm not sure what the issue is with Maxwell. First a reluctance to select him and then to use some of his on field skills when he is selected. Player tensions happen but usually they are sorted quickly. If he stays healthy and in form he would be a walk up start for me in the World Cup.

Mitch can **** right off, he's more of a ploder then Josh McCrone

I think we're going to need a summer of Usi triple hundreds.
He's clearly the best batsman amoung that line up.
Pile them on Usi.

Re: The Cricket Thread
SMarsh failed in Dubai but scored a stack of runs since coming home. I can live with his selection. MMarsh a different story. He’s had 2 or 3 decent tests in his 30 appearances. Time to move on. With Starc, Hazelwood and Cummins you don’t need a 4th quick so his bowling is irrelevant. Maxwell is 10 times the batsman MMarsh is and at least provides some relief for Lyon on 4th and 5th days.yeh raiders wrote: ↑November 22, 2018, 9:01 pm How can the Marsh’s hold their position over Glen Maxwell... just embarrassing

Re: The Cricket Thread
Not only Mitch Darsh but Maxwell is a much, much better player than Travis Head.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I just don't know why Siddle is even in the squad. Are they short a net bowler? Does he not drop the drinks? Does Justin Langer want someone closer to his age to talk to? From a Cricket point of view, I just don't get it. Seems to be a great bloke but we can't seriously be considering using him in our Test line up. Bring in the younger blokes.Matt wrote: ↑November 22, 2018, 12:50 pm Most of the articles Ive read line them up the same way,

Yep. He did his time. Was never a world beating player either.

Even McCrone managed a few MOTM performances.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I'm glad Marcus Harris is selected. The little leftie is in good form and deserves his opportunity. He should form a good partnership with Finch. His job is to see off the new ball and while he doesn't have the explosive power of Finch he will work the ball around the field and rotate the strike. Left and right handed opener combinations can be a nightmare for opposition opening bowlers provided they rotate the strike.Matt wrote: ↑November 22, 2018, 12:50 pm Most of the articles Ive read line them up the same way,

Jake Lehman is in much better form than Handscomb or Head. Hopefully his surname is not holding him back in the selectors eyes.
Another mid-20s something age batsman who has plenty of ability, but is still awaiting his chance.

Im confident little Lehmann is on the radar. They will want to see another pile of runs first I think.RedRaider wrote: ↑November 24, 2018, 8:32 pmI'm glad Marcus Harris is selected.

AUS finished at 6/164
Some good clean hitting by Stionis and Coulter-Nile at the end.
IND to bat soon.

Coulter-Nile is chucking pies at Rohit and Dharwan.
Too straight and helped over the fence..
IND 0/40 after 4 overs.
Coulter-Nile 2 overs for 29
Pure rubbish..
