Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

Ollie Peake to become the third youngest Australian ODI player of all-time.

Top five will now be:

Pat Cummins
Josh Hazelwood
Ollie Peake
Ray Bright
Craig McDermott

Certain networks have said he is the youngest, beating Ponting.

Regardless, he is a generational talent!

He'll be the youngest batter.

Just a heads up. If you are looking for an alternative tonight being NM free, don't forget Australia takes on Pakistan in the first ODI. Starts at 9:30pm.

Thanks! I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Shame it starts past my bedtime!

I don’t know much about cricket of c, but I would have thought that the Australian selectors might have picked some batters for this series against Pakistan who could play against spin.

They're all playing in the IPL

Glad I went to bed.

I stayed tuned in until Green strolled to the crease to save the day and promptly left a few balls later.

I watched for a while. Said to myself I’d get to bed when green goes out. I was fairly tired so I’m glad I got to go to bed almost straight away.

I have a feeling we’re about to go through a very lean few years as a team in all formats. Our bowling unit, as great as they have been, are surely getting to the end at an average age of around 34-35. And we’ve had a habit of a Head or March type getting us out of batting trouble with a massive innings for a while - and not sure that’s sustainable as the totals we chase increase due to the likely decline in our bowling. Not heaps coming through of the highest quality in the ODIs/T20s either.

Might have to accept an Aussie cricket decline as the flip side of the Roos on the rise over the next few years perhaps.

I watched our innings live and the other on fast forward today. It looked similar to any first game to a short one day tour in the Sub Continent. Looked ok in parts but not fully up to speed in the conditions. Arafat, their debutant spinner, had us in all sorts.
