Australian ODI Squad - 2014/15

[ObieWan]

Boult takes 5/1 bowling high 130 km/hr and all Lee can talk about is our quicks bowling 150.

It's a shame that's how things are.

He was bowling a bit faster than that...

It looked fast

 

[Bradesmaen]

He was bowling a bit faster than that...

He was bowling low 140's and getting it to swing. Starc was bowling high 140's and swinging it, Cummins was bowling 150 and not moving it, Johnson was moving it to the boundary.

 

[bird_man]

Cummins diagnosed with a side strain, not sure how serious but I doubt he'll play on Wednesday.

Don't suppose it matters against Afghanistan. Hope he is fit for the remainder of the matches though. Doesn't sound too serious from the latest report.

Oh great now we have Hazelwood bowling pies again. I'd almost replace Cummins, bring Sandhu straight in if he is going to be out for more than these two games.

I think you are a bit harsh on Hazlewood, he has a good record in his short ODI career. He didn't have a great game against England but was really good in the two warm up games prior. I'd prefer him to Cummins to be honest.

 

[eddiesmith]

Straight swap for Faulkner

I rate Hazelwood in test cricket, his ODI stats are flawed though. He just bowls a length that says 'belt me'...and guess what good batsman have. Plus he is hopeless at the death. You are having a bloke that can only bowl in the first 30. I'd rather have picks Sandhu.

 

[Allikat]

Straight swap for Faulkner

Faulkner doesn't bowl fast enough. We'd have 2 quicks, 3 medium-paced allrounders & 1 spin allrounder. Not enough pure bowlers in that. Bringing Hazlewood in to keep the pace up makes more sense.

 

[bird_man]

Straight swap for Faulkner

Faulkner will replace one of Marsh or Watson.

 

[The_Reaper]

Cummins diagnosed with a side strain, not sure how serious but I doubt he'll play on Wednesday.

So less than ten overs and injured again?

And some seriously want to bring him to the Ashes?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Faulkner will replace one of Marsh or Watson.

Most likely Marsh I think.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Most likely Marsh I think.

Better be Watson, I am over him!

 

[bird_man]

Most likely Marsh I think.

If Faulkner comes in for this game it will be Marsh. Watson definitely needs runs though.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely they won't drop Marsh for a game in Perth.

Just what we need...Watson gets runs against the might of Afghanistan....only to fail against the decent teams. Get rid of him NOW!

Watson getting dropped. How naive. Bump this for me in 5 years time at his retirement press conference.

Only way we'll get rid of the 'charity dismissal' now.

He's used his nine lives, cashed in all his credits in the bank, used up his get out of jail free cards....

Hopefully he's just exhausted his golden ticket.

The last bit is a perfect summation 'Get rid of him NOW!'....

Just 9 lives...more like 90 lives! Fair dinkum. I mean when Watson goes out they might as well put it as 2 down, he never lasts long! His dismissal n Saturday was the end for me, going along nicely Warner smacking them everywhere...decides to try and his Vettori out of Auckland and triggers a collaps, get rid of him. If he aint bowling 10, he is useless. Marsh probably got more wickets in 1 game than Watson has in 8 months! Smith at 3, Clarke 4. Then Marsh, Maxwell, Haddin, Faulkner, Johnson, Starc, and one of Cummins/Hazelwood.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Given it's only Afghanistan (no disrespect intended) I suppose they might give him (Faulkner) a bit longer and that gives them another match to sort out who to 'omit' out of Watson and Marsh. Personally I prefer to drop Watson and keep Marsh. Think Marsh has a bit of X factor about him and seems to thrive on the big matches.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Didn't say how long ago he used his nine lives

Smith should go out to bat with him and stand next to the square leg umpire.... Will save him time that way!

Also Marsh is actually hitting the ball well, Watson couldn't hit the ball off the square!

Good old under 10's cricket rules lol. Don't think I've ever seen a bloke who has averaged about 25-30 in the last 18 months hyped up so much and failing so many times and not getting dropped. He is useless!

 

[Kram]

We win the toss and bat first on Wednesday, Robot will smash a ton.

Which is why in a way I hope we bowl. If that hack makes a ton we'll be stuck with him stinking it up for the whole tournament!
