Zimbabwe Tri Series: Australia/South Africa/Zimbabwe

[BawwseTV]

Amla; class personified

 

[Arecsa]

As bad as the AFL review system here. He's out, lets move on.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Amla pretty happy to walk, and he's got the best view of it, yet still the umpires refer it........ridiculous.

 

[getthefooty]

Jeez I was worried they were going to give that not out there. That was as clean as they come.

 

[demon21]

Why? There is no reason he can't slot in at 4, Bailey at 5 and Maxwell at 6. Looks more balanced to me with Bailey/Maxwell more able to come in and clout them late

I was more thinking when Clarke is fit, would be Clarke 4 and Bailey 5, but while Clarke is out they could have him at 4 if they wanted to try it.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Would've been the best half-volley ever if Smith took that on the bounce

 

[Arecsa]

Left arm poo Starc

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Oh gawd, now the jumper holders can't even count to six.

Ed: so the umpires get the call there is one ball left............and De Kock is out. Ha!!!!

 

[ROOTA#6]

Left arm poo Starc

Too hit and miss for my liking. The gap between his best and worst is still too big

Oh yeah no doubt, when Clarke is fit he probably gets squeezed out

 

[The_Reaper]

I'm not a massive Finch fan but it's still good to come back from uni and see he scored a ton

40 wickets in 21 ODIs at an average of 19, SR of 23 and economy of 5.

 

[HBF]

Bit of everything from Starc that over. If he could ever get his act together he'd be one of the premier bowlers in the game.

Having never seen Bruce Reid, Starc is kind of what I imagine.

 

[tek87]

Bruce Reid was more a left handed glen mcgrath type. nothing like Starc

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

How many pies has starc bowled

it feels like starc is currently in the position MJ was about 18 months ago ie some people are implying he's a liability in the OD team or some rubbish

It's rather odd that Starc is copping flak whilst Faulkner seems to get a free pass for his bowling

More like 2007 MJ. Played a few test matches and flashed some potential but still sprays it around too much. 18 months ago Johnson still had 200 test wickets on his record

Starc's test record has little to do with his ODI record.

He's pretty much second bowler selected in our ODI team.

I'm talking about career progression. Similarly, MJ was fairly well established in the ODI side by about 2007 also.

Johnson wasn't in our 2007 world cup team.
He was a bit older back then than Starc is now.

For some reason I thought the attack was Tait, Mcgrath and Johnson after Lee did his knee. Was Bracken the third seamer I'm thinking of?

Still young for a quick though. Give him time.
