This is rather annoying

Where was this crash and bash batting display during the world cup. Geez the first 10 overs of every australian match. They went at a snails pace and now they decide to go for crash and bash in matches that no one cares about

rather expletive annoying

Well Ponting did want his openers to hang around and for Haddin to make the big score.

lol well you can blame whoever decided on those garbage tactics at the World cup

yep, indeed i said much the same thing in the odi series thread.

probably just resting themselves. going crash bang at the start of an innings could cause all sorts of injuries!!!!!!!!!!! then once we make the final, we'll do that.

That whole 'keep wickets in hand' stuff for the World Cup meant that playing really aggressive cricket was never an option.

Plus it's hardly surprising that once pressure is off, the team plays well, is it? The two big pressure series of the summer, Ashes and the World Cup, the Aussies have pretty much folded.

there's your answer.

pressure is off. this is why these meaningless one day internatoinal series just do nothing for the game or our players.

low intensity, the guys don't really care what happens - or at least they don't stew over the results...

the only person that's had any consequence from this tour is cam white.

this isn't just a current australian team issue - this has been going on for yonks.
