2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 43 Australia v Bangladesh 11/11 1530hrs @ Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium

[Altum Volantes]

Not being an Aussie cheerleader that only praises Australia and their players like you doesn't make me a troll.

This isn't the Australian cricket board, it's the cricket board where some people support or take an interest in teams other than Australia.

All the relentless hate for Australia of the late Tony Grieg, mixed with the genuine misery of Ian Chappell.

At least in the cricket threads he doesn’t just continuously blame the umpires for everything. There is that.

 

[doggies ftw]

You seem to be forgetting about all the ignorant sore Aussie supporting dipshits that hurled abuse at England players when they were losing.

I guess that is OK though.

This is an Aussie cricket forum you *ing r3tard

Plugger is always going to have a negative view of Australia....it's in the Kiwi DNA....adds spice to the banter.....hopefully the 3 umps get less grief than Barnes did, if NZ lose in this WC format.....

s**t day for Adelaide teams.

A dark day indeed

 

[Gough]

Against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, a remarkable achievement if that is true.

Where do you rate Hadlee's 9fer in Brisbane given that it was a pretty ordinary Australian team he went through? Should put an asterisk on that performance too?

There were reserve days for 2019 World Cup and they needed one for the India vs New Zealand semi in Manchester.

Well it was Manchester of course it was needed.

It rains most days in that place

Mods can we finally ban this imbecilic troll from these threads?

Agreed

On Form I’d rather Abbott play over Starc but they will go Starc in the hope he regains some swing at the start of the innings.

Marnus stays with his fielding ability. Stoinis out for Maxy

God I miss Tony the guy could elevate the most boring game imaginable into something interesting, I always laughed at his comments on Australia. He was spot on sometimes especially when guys like McGrath got grumbly over nothing.

Kerry Packer TV miniseries.

Painted Greigy in a better light and explained why he joined channel 9.

You couldn't blame him Kerry gave him a job for life. Greigy took the bullets in WSC that helped the cricketers get the money they do today.

Abbot by far our best death bowler.

He’s even from NSW.

Won’t stop the picking Starc though.

I was actually astounded he caught Lawson off Brown, with the kind of bloke he was, it genuinely shocked me he didn't drop it.

It adds nothing. It'd be banter if he had even the remotest idea how to do that, he's just a bitter twisted imbecile rocking in his chair drooling over a photo of Trevor Chappel winning the Benson and Hedges cup.

And it's boring.

I don't think the Australian team back then was as weak as some people make out.

Australia's batsmen in that test were Wessels, Hilditch, Boon, Border, Ritchie, Phillips and Matthews who had all played test cricket before.

Apart from Kim Hughes I don't think any of the batsmen on the South African rebel tour would have made that batting line up any stronger.

The other batsmen on that South African rebel tour were guys like Mike Haysman, Graham Yallop, Greg Shipperd, John Dyson, Steve Smith and Steve Rixon, none of whom would have been walk up starts to make the Australian team ahead of the batsmen that did make that team.

It adds nothing. It'd be banter if he had even the remotest idea how to do that, he's just a bitter twisted imbecile rocking in his chair drooling over a photo of Trevor Chappel winning the Benson and Hedges cup.

And it's boring.

You constantly whinging about me or anyone else here that doesn't agree with your one eyed view of cricket gets pretty boring too.

 

[Grasshopper17]

of course but I can understand the logic of practicing chasing as its a dead rubber

the disappointing thing is the bowling has been really poor so far

It looked like our only plan for 40 overs yesterday was to make sure we had a reasonably steep target to chase. That literally was the plan.

Which I guess is progress... It's the first time we've had a plan with the ball this tournament.

 

[Grasshopper17]

I would pick Abbott ahead of him

Better bowler and could basically score what stoinis is averaging in the past 4 years in ODIs which is 15.

Abbott has scored an ODI fifty this year.

Stonis hasn't scored one in 4 years

One change. And only one change.

The Fiz gets Warner.

The fielder nearly did a Gibbs there but luckily he controlled it before he spilled it with the celebration.

I've always been amazed by this. When I played (very badly I'd be at pains to point out), whenever I took a catch I never threw it in the air. Once I even caught a hat trick ball and still held on to it. In fact I'd regularly get in trouble from my team mates for not throwing it back to the umpire! I never like it when players do it - things can only go wrong, as we've seen. Surely there are other ways to celebrate with ball in hand?

 

[Grasshopper17]

pretty poor effort from Warner... in between a defensive and attacking mindset for that shot.

He got tied down and frustrated. Think he'd made about 2 off 10 balls before he got out. Needed to go back to rotating the strike while he found his groove again.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Don't mind Lab in the side - no batters are making themselves undroppable who are currently outside the team. And labs fielding is worth a few runs. Made an impact against NZ and bangers

He provides us an option if 2 of the top order don't come off.

And allows Inglis to move to 7 in a role where he can play a power hitting role - something he is probably more suited to (other than opening which he righfully won't get a look in for)

Ahhh... So it's a ratings ploy. That's it. That's literally the only rational explanation how he keeps getting a game.
