5th ODI: Australia v Sri Lanka @ Hobart (Wed D/N)

[Mateyman]

surely Dan Christian is a better allrounder than Henriques or Maxwell, also whats the point of having Khawaja around and then playing Maxwell.

Dan Christian is an ultra-spud

Khawaja ain't in the squad.

Christian is a spud, although Henriques and Maxwell aren't much better. Would rather Steve Smith tbh.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Hughes is having one of those bone-arsed lucky days today.

Make the most of it son.

 

[Kaiser Powser]

They are all spuds, especially Smith. If we don't have an allrounder, why play one? Play 5 bowlers or 4 and get 10 overs out of tweekers like Warner, D.Hussey and Clarke etc.

 

[Kram]

Team need more players from my state in there.

Agreed that they are all not international standard, but Smith is the best of a bad bunch.

Dave Hussey has been spudding it up for years, only continues to get selected because of his last name.

WA are hard enough to follow at state level...

Sorry my bad on Khawaja.

Christian might be a spud but better then Henriques surely ! Smith might be a better batsman but bowling is cannon fodder really

Well I just meant trying to get the extra 10 overs out of some batsmen who can bowl a bit. Doesn't really rely on D.Hussey at all.

Was it last season he was called the "Bionic man" or some rubbish?

Shows how bad our team is, when I would probably drop four players before him.

Bring in Faulkner as the 5th bowler.

6 M. Hussey
7- Faulkner
8- Johnson
9 - Starc

looks alright

What's the point in selecting Huss outside of a farewell at the WACA?

Dismissal on Sunday was embarrassing I've seen grade cricketers with better footwork ! Malingarer certainly worked him over

So we're not 2-1 (should be 3-1) down in a home one day series.

But then he retires and we haven't fixed the problem.

 

[jackess]

What's happened the last 3 games hasn't come close to fixing the middle order issues.

Bring in Ferguson if you only care about the next World Cup.

 

[Magma]

philly h starting to kick on a bit.

 

[coryne]

SO what is our target here, with two established at the crease and only 3 wickets in hand ??? Is 250 a chance ???

Would have to be thinking around that you'd imagine, anything more is a bonus, unfortunately, I think 250 is probably only a par score.

 

[damochandler]

not much dropping it and running in this innings has there

 

[Kaiser Powser]

I'd take 250.

Bailey taking over 7 overs to add 17 runs makes it hard to get a decent total.

 

[ajdude]

only the block could fit four pieces of music into a 15 second advertisement

Are you trying to say that a SR of 39 is poor for a ODI ???
