Champions Trophy Game 10 Group B, Afghanistan v Australia 28/2 1930hrs @ Gaddafi Stadium Lahore

[Taylor]

Remind me again why Short is opening for a critical tournament match?

Isn't the list of first choice white ball players for Australia that are injured or unavailable quite large?

Cummins, Starc, Hazelwood, Marsh, Green etc

We are playing two keepers too

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bruh there are like four options in our domestic List A competition

Renshaw is one I’ll give you that but doesn’t he bat 4 in 50 over cricket. Daniel Hughes is injured. Who else is there?

 

[Iceman!]

Great platform has been set, please no collpase now.

 

[SC_Power]

I’d back you to be a better bat

Only way I’d be a better bat is if Cam Green picks me up by my feet and practices on drives in the nets.

No you're right it's bare, I was wrong

But Short just ain't it, man

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It is why I’d be open for Inglis opening and Carey keeping (one or the other I am not fussed). I won’t be surprised if Green opens in this form when he’s fit

BBL mer

Oh **** off the guy sucks

BBL spud

Bloke had 63 last game and was clearly injured. I take you'll be calling for Carey or Inglis to **** off if they fail today as well? Lay off the XXXX Golds mate.

You’d still hit it more than JFM

Okay WA, Inglis is the greatest, we get it

What's Inglis' ODI batting average, you can do it

Cmon, you got this

The Head drop has cost 10% of the total.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Gee do the Aussies have a reservation at a restaurant in downtown Lahore or what!

Buttler resigns as captain, after RSA game

 

[eth-dog]

What was Head dropped on? 6?

What’s the point in him captaining that game? Just give it to Brook

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

I love Head

Yep absolute dolly to Rashid at mid on

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thanks to Travis Head, Afghanistan's body language is that of a beaten team already.

There’s an old saying…catches win matches

Trav is near the worst guy in our lineup to drop early

 

[Moonwatcher]

Buttler resigns as captain. Presumably he's still playing.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Butler is shit and I didn't ask for his shit facts

 

[Moonwatcher]

What was Head dropped on? 6?

Yep, 6

Still captaining the last game utterly no idea why but okay

 

[Moonwatcher]

No comment lol

This coming from Mr "I want 300 boys"

Gives the team time to think through their options.
