1st ODI | Australia vs India @ SCG (13:20 local)

[Molian]

My finger went up...

 

[Scorpus]

Only height could have saved him

 

[Woody15]

I don't even have a problem with Carey a bunch of people just attacked my post which was never ment to be about him. My main issue was that Khawaja Handscomb and Marsh who are all horrifically out of form are batting before Maxwell

Some players are suited to bat in certain positions due to the fielding restrictions. With fielders out on the boundary, id back Maxwell and Stoinis to clear the ropes more than Carey.

if you select Khawaja, Handscomb and Marsh - theyre really not suited to be going in after Maxwell or batting in overs 35-50.

 

[Kram]

Thought it might have pitched outside but nup, shod have reviewed.

edit ok just outside.

 

[Richard Pryor]

S.Marsh, oh boy.

He's been massive for us in ODI's. Test form shouldn't overrule that.

 

[Balls In]

25 dollars in the current climate of high morgages and low pay increases is a big amount to be throwing away.

$300 a year for a few one dayers? No thanks.

 

[Scorpus]

Wow. Pitching outside leg

 

[Molian]

Pitching outside leg! Haha
I'd given him....

 

[Special Agent Utah]

Usman picking up where he left off in the Test Matches, Eating dot balls and putting pressure on his batting partners by not rotating the strike

Much better ODI player.

We are 2/51 and he has 16 of 27. We are 12 overs down. What do you expect? With S Marsh there he will be looking to anchor the innings for the next 15-20 overs whilst Marsh spends more time attaching. This is actually a perfect combination right now.

His entire career in a nutshell.

 

[Cleavy]

never going to win a World Cup scoring at < 4.5 rpo in the first 15 overs.

You included Carey as well.

You're contradicting yourself.
You said Carey isn't an opener in one post and then said he's only
been opening for a year.

 

[Molian]

If you love sport it is worth every cent.
I can watch whatever I want whenever I want now. For $25 a month.
It's Netflix for sport. It's brilliant.

I think you’ll find Marsh will be far more suites to this format. Handscomb I am not sold on.

 

[Antonio Conte]

gee it's a long tail. but i suppose were experimenting this series, so it doesn't really matter.

Mate you don't need to patronize me by explaining I've been watching ODI cricket for a long time. My issue is that they have picked Finch Carey Khawaja Marsh Handscomb. 3 of those batsmen have just been dropped for poor form and Khawaja lucky not to be.

I'm fine with Carey opening, but after a summer of blokes out of form we pick 4 of them in our top 6. Why not freshen up the side? Why the * is Handscomb in the side?
Our failed test line up has just been dropped into the one day side.

No point Maxwell and Stoinis coming in when we are 4-180 off 40 overs. This Indian side makes 300 for fun

 

[Tugga27]

We're ranked 6th in the world.

I don't get the high expectations TBH.

Having said that, Smith, Warner, Cummins and Starc will probably
come in to this side.

 

[Gough]

never going to win a World Cup scoring at < 4.5 rpo in the first 15 overs.

Retro run rate to go with the kit.

 

[Len Nicodemo]

His entire career in a nutshell.

Do you think just because you’re playing ODI you need to score a run a ball when we are 2 down going at well under 5 an over? Or is it better to work into some form and chew up some time and then build into scoring more heavily which we know he can? One of his great strengths is his patience, did you watch Pujara bat over the summer?

 

[Richard Pryor]

gee it's a long tail. but i suppose were experimenting this series, so it doesn't really matter.

Even accounting for experimenting I think the tail is weaker than we would have liked. Coults out with back problems and MMarsh out with gastro limited our options out of actual contenders for the WC squad.

 

[SportsCentre]

Remember the era the uniforms are from where 2-59 in the first 15 overs was pretty good going.

 

[JimDocker]

Kayo costs 25 bucks a month people, if you can’t afford that you seriously need to evaluate how you budget your money.

Maybe it’s a principle issue too. My dad is 82, retired and lives comfortably. He could afford $25 but he shouldn’t have to. ODIs should be on FTA.

I beg your pardon? I wasnt patronising you at all.

You are constantly changing your opinion - Now you're saying you dont have a problem with Carey opening? After this:

Um Carey is a bloody wicket keeper not an opener.
I'd have Maxwell batting 4 or at the lowest 5. 7 is ridicolous

You're arguing completely different things - your first issue was with the batting lineup. Never has a batting lineup been structured completely around form.

Im done - clearly the concepts of batting orders, particularly with ODIs are beyond you.
