[Sillygit]

Kid is snake bitten, shame really

You may laugh Chip Scab1 but his the post from 2 years ago. His action has always been a bit suspect.

Yep, I've been emailing Joel Wislon, Andy Pycroft and Nitin Menon weekly for the last 2 years. About time they listened.

 

[gokangas]

Carey - really?

 

[shinboner magic]

Hardie should have batted at 3 and Connolly lower in the order.

 

[krakouers]

Starc has withdrawn from the Champions Trophy?

Starc has withdrawn from the Champions Trophy?

Yep. Personal reasons.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Yep. Personal reasons.

Pathetic.

Someone from years ago just rolled in his grave.

Btw, Glory Australia, this will go down as a famous one if 'Brads Boy' and 'Tony's Nephew' get us over the line.

Absolute trash from our one day side.

There is no way Short, Fraser-McGurk, Hardie, Dwarsius or Sangha are up to the grade at international level.

god damn, we f*cken suck

Hard to care too much when senior players, coaches and selectors don't. But even if they treat non-World Cup ODIs like match practice, that was incredibly bad.

I'd throw in Sean Abbott who's been around for over a decade, played some good BBL cricket, but shown absolutely nothing at this level but somehow, at nearly 33yo, hangs around the team in all three formats as if he's the next big thing. As for Jake Fraser-McGurk, I'd put him on the next plane home. Hard to recall an Australian player so far out of his depth.

Anyway - here's Australia's last 7 batting 'efforts' in ODIs

• 126 (24.4) v England at Lord's
• 2/165 (20.4) v England at Bristol (rain affected winning run chase)
• 8/204 (33.3) v Pakistan at MCG (successful but ham fisted run chase)
• 163 (35) v Pakistan at Adelaide
• 140 (31.5) v Pakistan at Perth
• 165 (33.5) v Sri Lanka at Colombo
• 107 (24.2) v Sri Lanka at Colombo

1070 runs for 60 wickets off 203.5 overs. An average of 17.83, run rate of 5.25 and a wicket falling 20.38 balls - equating to being bowled out for 178 of 34 overs every time they bat. That's pathetic.

Spot on. Shameful effort.

Ashwin has backed kuhnemanns action.
Says he has a weird wrist movement (loading and break) which is perfectly legal but gives the perception of elbow flex.

Bangladesh batting first in Dubai against India. The crowd would be about the same size as the turnout for the shield match between Vic and NSW.

 

[Samsquanch]

2/2 after 2.

Not going well.

Switch over to Kayo. European cricket league is back on, probably better entertainment.

TBF, in Dubai most foreign workers aren’t allowed out after work.
