Cricket Discussion - Part 1

Well that didn't quite go according to plan. AB was awesome: 136no off just 106 balls. Proteas by 7 wickets in the end.

 

[Seanybruz]

Too many all rounders the balance is all wrong, do we really need Faulkner, Marsh & Maxwell in the same side?

 

[Greasyrhys]

Typical choke...

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Finch playing a measured innings shows he's getting in a good head space might be a future in the longer form at some stage.

 

[Dentshop]

Australia 9/209 V Zimbabwe

Lulz. Whot??

 

[ozph1870]

slow turning pitch, lyon 4 wickets, should get up from here

 

[PepeSilvia]

Go Zimbabwe!

 

[ozph1870]

clarke looking like warnie... really needed to have another spinner (or 3) on this pitch

 

[Seanybruz]

Great effort by Zimbabwe but wowee how embarrassing.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

And Clarke heading home

 

[Seanybruz]

Good batting from Hughes & Marsh, Mitch really teed off towards the end there.

 

[Seanybruz]

Lol Faf stepping on his own stumps, well played Australia good work to bounce back after that last poor result.

 

[philreich]

Good to see that England is still a crap one day team. After smashing India in the recent Test series, the Poms have been somewhat embarrassing in the shorter form of the game.

 

[Seanybruz]

I agree with Haydos. Stick with Hughes: Hayden

 

[Seanybruz]

Read last night that Saeed Ajmal has been accused of chucking. It'd be a huge boost to Australia's chances in the upcoming Test series, if Ajmal is missing.

Breaking news: Saeed Ajmal has been banned from bowling.

All his deliveries, not just the doosra were found to be illegal. He can apply for a re-assessment at any time, and could be back before the World Cup.

I reckon a few Aussie batsmen will sleep well tonight: notably Phil Hughes.

Same old story - Berry and Cosgrove on TV last night, sprouting about the fact that this is the year for the Redbacks. "We're not here to finish third or fourth - we're here to win" and "We've got the team to do it", yada yada........I'll believe it when I see it!!!!!!!!

Looks very much like another doosra bowler.

Kieron Pollard signed up for 3 years with the Strikers, great get for entertainment value if he fires I just hope he's worked on his weakness against slower ball bouncers lol.

With our hitting depth he could afford to bat a bit higher with the harder ball this season.

not that i care about t20 rubbish, he should be at 3 or 4, or even open get him in early and see if he can slog a quick hundred. no point wasting him late for a quick 30-60.
maybe the media should just focus on proper cricketers.......

redbacks first game of the year, good recovery after the top order failed, ferguson on ross the best with the bat, kling..um i mean cosgrove 7 off 33 deliveries.

hazlewood 7/27 with the ball for nsw.

 

[Greasyrhys]

A loss to start off with, surprise surprise...

 

[ozph1870]

redbacks are on gem right now. already 1 out, kling...um cosgrove 1 off 9 balls, so far 8 off 42 balls for the star import.

 

[Rising Power]

I hate this tactic of playing with only 5 specialist batsmen. Botha is not a number 6!!!
