New Zealand - One Day Series

[LukeParkerno1]

Be interesting if Maxy and Wadey bat together tomorrow. Intentional run out possible???

Hopefully Wade is not batting too much.

 

[Hellgood]

Khawaja severely underrated in this format.

Not as much as Shaun Marsh.

Competing with Bailey. Bailey is better.

I meant after Maxys comments about Wade.

 

[Cleavy]

Cartwright released from squad to play Shield.

 

[DangerIsLove]

Cummings is crap. I'd play Hastings he was our best ODI bowdlerised against India and co
An attack of Hastings, Hazlewood and Starc is deadly

 

[Cainozz]

Thoughts on the final XI?

Will be interesting whether they include Faulkner with the 3 spearheads (Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins). I feel as though Zampa has to play as the SCG usually turns a bit.

My preferred XI
1. Finch
2. Warner (vc)
3. Smith (c)
4. Bailey
5. Head
6. Maxwell
7. Wade (wk)
8. Faulkner
9. Starc
10. Zampa
11. Hazlewood

 

[Underarm]

Any chance Maxwell doesn't get selected after his outburst?

 

[Cleavy]

Any chance Maxwell doesn't get selected after his outburst?

It's a possibility. Would arguably leave us a bit lighter in the batting and fielding.

 

[DangerIsLove]

Warner Finch Khawaja Smith Maxwell Lynn Wade Faulkner Hastings Hazlewood Starc

 

[Kram]

Harsh on Pastings to get boned for this.

Interest through the roof. Barely seen this series advertised.

Nice bit of horrendous scheduling CA

I guess they would be pleased if they could get 25000-30000 in Sydney and Melbourne? Might not even get that many.

Why? He just showed everyone that he's not a robot like the rest of them.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Cummins must have a very strange view of the world.

You wonder what sort of debate there is at contract time about him. Are CA so embarrassed that they've given him so much money for so little that they don't know how to stop and just pretend it's not really happening?

It's like he's the son of a dictator.

I'd love to know what he put his occupation as on the census this year. Professional cricketer would be stretching the truth a bit

Full-time physio (patient).

The first time Cummins played golf he shot a 38 under par including 11 holes in one. When he was born a new star appeared in the night sky (if you squint it almost resembles an ambulance)

There still doing the census....

 

[kozi]

I'd really like to hear an explanation as to why the leading ODI wicket taker in 2016 hasn't even made the squad.

 

[Kram]

Definitely Mark Waugh's fault.

 

[kozi]

Definitely Mark Waugh's fault.

Got a feeling Cummins will be trying his hardest not to take any wickets in an effort to impress Waugh.

You know, since taking a lot of wickets at the highest level means you're left out of the squad.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I like Cummins and want to see him succeed but why do they persist in bringing him back via ODIs all the time? He still seems to get injured every year anyway. Why not try something different and bring him back via Shield games? What's that saying, the definition of madness is doing the same thing all the time and expecting a different result (or something like that).

 

[eddiesmith]

Hardly, unless he's opening he's not replacing Smith, Bailey, Maxwell, etc in the middle order, and Khawaja whether he's improved or not is such an ordinary fielder, and those 3 are elite. Like it or not but fielding plays a part.

Maxwell who hasn't even been in the last couple of squads...
