He got hit for 100 in the Boxing Day test
Not saying that’s true just that for many people that would be the most recent memoryOh well if that happened in one innings all the others don’t count then.
His 9 five wicket hauls were just a one-off
It's fine, we don't rate white ball internationals anymore - CA cares about home tests and BBL. That's it.I totally agree, Englands white ball side is very different from their test side. We have no white ball program at all, it’s just play the usual guys, who often rest for bilateral series, ridiculous.

Yeah ODIs have been behind a paywall for years now, pretty sad for a format I really enjoyed growing up with the tri-series’ that went on etc.It's fine, we don't rate white ball internationals anymore - CA cares about home tests and BBL. That's it.
There's a reasonable chance this could be the last 50 over World Cup (even with the next one booked in), so enjoy it while you can.
Was a laughing stock the same way zampa has been since the 100 against South Africa. Just an out of form player with past form forgottenFair enough
i'm kind of not surprised. the ashes left question marks over all three of the quicks, tactics.
marsh - in the form of his life before the tournament. now, nothing. stoinis - has talent to dominate the shorter format comps like bbl but seems to go missing. ditto maxwell - eternal tease.
no surprises the guy left out of the side applied himself a bit more. time to kick some butts out of the side to earn their place.
I am sure Ronnie even takes the lads to Maccas after the game for a cheeseburger and a milkshake for a job well done.All is good. The players are happy under McDonald. Hugs all round after the game.
We will bash up Pakistan & Windies at home.100%. The 2nd Ashes test, despite winning, left me in no doubt that our seamers are well and truly past it.
Without genuine wicket takers, you aren't going to win many cricket matches. A sure sign of declining bowlers is when you get a team on the ropes and they can't finish them off - it has happened increasingly in all formats from 2018 onwards.
What is being done about it? If we keep rolling out the stale and tired combo of Starc, Halzewood and Cummins this summer then we deserve to lose against the Windies and Pakistan.
Australia deserves to get hammered this world cup. Nothing will change otherwise.

yes the windies are basketcase but pakistan has very good cricketers and a very good bowling attack dont underestimate themWe will bash up Pakistan & Windies at home.
And the bosses in CA will think all is well again.
Jhye Richardson's injury certainly didn't help.Records of ODI pacers for Australia last 4 years:
Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood:
Avg: 28.80
Economy Rate: 5.19
All other pacers:
Avg: 42.76
Economy Rate: 5.65
It's borderline whether Cummins is the 3rd best quick but it's not like anyone else has stood up and done anything when given the chance.
Historically Pakistan are useless in Australia, can't bat on our wickets and there bowlers can't get wickets, don't bowl the right length.yes the windies are basketcase but pakistan has very good cricketers and a very good bowling attack dont underestimate them
No, that’s iPad speak onlyDoes this come in English as well?
Jhye Richardson's injury certainly didn't help.
However my point stands when you include the other 2 formats. How did we go in the latest T20 WC? How did the final two Ashes tests go? The last match at the GABBA of the 2020/21 Border- Gavaskar?
I'm never going to question how good the big 3 are. It's just that we are over reliant on them.
Would replacing Starc with Neser in the BG trophy in 2020/21 have won us the game? maybe not. Same with Cummins in the final Ashes test.
We don't know, because we never try it.
And it's cost us.

26-4 Head to Head.
We are starting to clearly understand what a big loss it is to have Cummins in the side.I just don't think people have comprehended how big a loss Head is to this side.
The risk of injury outweighs any benefit warm up series close to an important tournament has. The schedule is so compact that these guys are playing enough cricket already.

What's stoinis past glories.Said it before, but Australia underperformed at the last World Cup and have brought a lot of the same names to this one. What did they think would happen different. Warner has been cooked for years, he couldn't score last night, which put pressure on Marsh to change his game and accelerate early, which cost him his wicket. Stoinis and Maxwell are living on past glory, the bowlers aren't a cohesive unit. There's more.
What's Warner done wrong in ODI cricket? He scored 647 runs and was 2nd on the run scoring list at the last World Cup and since then he's averaged 42 at a strike rate of 98. This year he's averaging 40 at a strike rate of 110. He's legitimately been Australia's most consistent ODI player since he returned from suspension.Said it before, but Australia underperformed at the last World Cup and have brought a lot of the same names to this one.
