3rd ODI Australia v West Indies Feb 6 1400hrs @ Manuka Oval

[kickazz]

I recall us belting SL once and the game was so short they had a scratch match (25 overs?) straight after it to give the fans something.

SL played themselves into some form that day.

Wonder if they'll consider an impromptu T20 or something for the Canberra folk?

 

[kickazz]

In an ideal world, there'd be a T20 game starting in an hour to at least allow spectators to feel like they get their moneys worth.

Agreed.

 

[Cmarsh]

Is JFM in the T20 squad for the Windies?

No because Tim David has a golden ticket.

 

[BACCS]

No because Tim David has a golden ticket.

No idea what the obsession is with him

 

[Jamurp]

They've got to scrap all these trophies for these sort of bilateral series', always so awkward watching playing pose for the '(insert here) trophy'.

 

[BACCS]

Ah well, get to watch JFM against Victoria in the Marsh Cup on Thursday at a ground with small boundaries… watch out!

Zero chance sadly. Just had a bowler get hurt. If another player got hurt questions will be asked

 

[Jimthegreat]

That surely add Jake Fraser-McGuirk to the T20 Squad vs both the WI and NZ. Same with Bartlett

Davey's back for the T20's but surely if you are looking at the World Cup those two are at least in the Squad, even if you increase the number.

Suppose they can have games at home for their state.

Was it due to conditions or just bad luck? If the latter then just replace him in the XI with one of the subs and play on!

The 2nd coming of Jeff Thomson picked up a side strain, so I'd say more bad luck than the conditions.

Play an XI selected at random from the crowd, they'll probably put up a better show that the West Indies today.

Breath test them first though, 0.05 limit.



Minimum, that is.

 

[Westend]

LOL replaying the game

No idea what the obsession is with him

because he showed promise a few years back in the middle order/late order which is one of the hardest places to bat...and he was a six hitter

unfortunately he has gone off the boil

And yet they keep picking him.

 

[kickazz]

WI not qualifying for last year's World cup doesn't seem so weird now.

Just finished work & checked the scores

I guess I won’t be watching Cricket tonight

I think you will find if David stuffs up this t20 series ...he will be dropped

Already named in the NZ unfortunately.

As we know, today is the 1000th ODI involving Australia. Bill Lawry opened the batting with Keith Stackpole in Australia's first ever ODI back in 1971. Bill had a strike rate of 55. JFM, the total opposite of Bill Lawry finished with a strike rate of 227. None of you will be surprised at Geoff Boycott leaving the MCG with a strike rate of 21 in that inaugural ODI.

Got Amazon? Under 19 semi-final at 7, India vs SA

100% the game would last longer

 

[eddiesmith]

There was no run there. Forde can blow up all he wants

Just saw it, easy single there and was his call!

 

[Slysh]

No because Tim David has a golden ticket.

I think it is more because JFM is still raw and his record is still pretty bad.

I am not a big David fan but he has shown more, in a World Cup year you can understand why they are backing him in over JFM for the short term at least.

PhatBoy come and explain this performance, the Dettol Cup deserves better.
