Zampa really reminds me of Warne these days.

I feel it doesn't count if they don't care, and rightly so. They just won a world cup in front of 80k. This series, they are playing in front of "10k" in a completely nothing series.

Buttler basically confirmed that at the presentations, he said they got what they came for which is the T20 World Cup, no one will remember this series.

I'd just like to congratulate Travis Head, following his 10 run win over England.

What's the point of a "World Cup" if it's on every two years?
T20 WC needs to go back to four years for it to be worth anything

It's easy to say this is a hollow victory in a nothing series against a second-string England ODI side, but the Aussie Men's Cricket team had a point to prove after being eliminated from the World Cup. And they've comprehensively demolished England 3-0. Can't ask for much more.
Well done lads!

Still got to put a bit of pride in your performance though. They were beaten comprehensively (including a record margin) in a format they pride themselves on. Piss poor for them to take that attitude. If they’re going to be that petty then I’d go as far as to say the WC was also a meh given (A) We barely take that format seriously at the best of times and (B) We we’re reigning champs from the one only a year prior. Just seems like a cop out from Jos
Fair enough, but at least have pride to try make the loss somewhat respectable. 221 runs is like a 20 goal thrashing, there is no good way of spinning it.

Would love to see how an AFL team would back up the next week after a grand final win.
It is not just pride. They used all of their mental fatigue 2 weeks ago.

Honestly our lot not giving a s**t about odi or 20/20 cricket until world cups is why team has fallen of a cliff since 2015 world cup win, we need to start playing our stronger teams in these formats and developing a winning culture instead of this misguided belief that we will always rock up to big events and be a genuine chance of winning, england started taking limited overs more seriously after 2015 and they are best in world now we need to do same if sides we play dont put out their best teams thats their issue not ours but we need to stop just picking b sides for this stuff.
Art Vandelay_ well at least they managed to crack 10k, I reckon it looked like half that.

Would make the cricket calendar far less crowded as well.
Hypothetically, you could have international white ball cricket operate on two year cycles, two years for 50 over leading to a World Cup, two years for 20 over leading into a World Cup.
Needs to be something different, don't mind this, but all I know is that neither players nor fans want this ridiculous scheduling of playing random 3 match ODI series so soon after a major tournament. Especially against a major rival when these matches are meant to be the pinnacle outside of major tournaments.
Only ones that would want it previously were advertisers and broadcasters but is there any money in having a state league tier match in terms of crowd and viewers?
Not sure about last night, but Saturday’s game attracted 500k viewers on Fox and Kayo. Pretty big numbers for subscription TV.
Schedule has become too crowded now to have them anymore.
It was at it's height in the 80's when there was no South Africa in the world cricket so in our school holidays we could have two other nations here for well over a month but now South Africa play that is another nation that likes to play cricket in their nation at same time. New Zealand too but in 80's you could have West Indies, Australia and one of England or Pakistan in a 3 team series that all play around 10 matches and then final of best of 3 for the two leaders on the table. Which at the time that basically meant you had 3 of the best teams in world in one day series for the school holidays. Plus they tended to play back to back one dayers each weekend.
You simply cannot do that anymore and West Indies, that were such a super power back then have fallen off the face of the cricket universe in terms of pulling power they had then. The death of that era was well and truly over in 90's when Zimbabwe and England were two teams here at same time and to try to manufacture a quality extra team because Zimbabwe were minnows we added our own A team in the tournament to make it four teams. When they played each other in the finals series it showed the era of quality tri-series was coming to an end.
