    2nd ODI Australia v Pakistan, November 8 1400hrs @ Adelaide Oval

    People were all behind JFM being in the T20WC squad and the selectors held their nerve. Hopefully they'll do it again

    Strategy CEO Thread - Jennifer Watt - Started Jan 2023

    He wasn't. Meanwhile, Bell gets moved "sideways" after the club under-achieved when he was in charge of the footy department. They create a "strategy" role, which he does for a year before deciding, at 48 years old, to enrol in an MBA. He had a big reputation but it's not a record that will...

    2nd ODI Australia v Pakistan, November 8 1400hrs @ Adelaide Oval

    Champions Trophy is in February/March, and we only have one more ODI between now and then (in Sri Lanka, the week before the CT starts). These games are useful for trying a few players out - you'd think Fraser-McGurk has ruled himself out of contention.

    Yeah, I reckon the sample size is big enough to say he's definitely not in form.

    Cricket things that annoy you

    There are a few datasets out there, but generally, they all show that around 20-30% of DRS referrals have the decision overturned. One paper from 2017 showed that 22% of LBWs are overturned, so that's a lot more accuracy than there previously was. As for the entire field of possibility, that's...

    Australia A vs India A (2 "Unofficial Tests")

    I'm in the camp that has Labuschagne or Head to open, McSweeney in the middle order.

    Australia A vs India A (2 "Unofficial Tests")

    Before this match, across all formats, Harris had 4, 63, 143, 52, 26, 16, 20, 17, 36: 377 runs at 41.9, 1 century, 2 fifties and 5 of his 9 scores have been below 30. His three highest scores were all at the Junction Oval. McSweeney had 0, 55, 127*, 37, 72, 137, 39, 88*: 555 runs at 69.4, 2...

    Cummins Overrated?

    Yeah, Mitchell Starc's bowling average in the 4th innings of a match is actually better than his average in the first three innings. His strike rate is 48.4 in the 4th innings, only bettered by the first innings, which is 47.3. But yeah, because Warnie was a legend, his opinion has stuck.

    Western Australian State Cricket Team: Treble Winners. Again

    As good as those guys have been, Jhye Richardson is in the top 5 fast bowlers in the country. If he's fit, he plays.

    Jesus Christ, DRS are needed for LBWs more than anything else.

    Luxury. I left primary school in 1988 - we had two computers in the library and that was it for a school of about 600 kids.

    Australia A vs India A (2 "Unofficial Tests")

    Langer opened in his second test (and had opened for WA before then) but all three had years in the test team before opening. The better comparison with those three would be Labuschagne or Head opening. If McSweeney's the guy - and he looks to be - give him the best chance of success by playing...

    Cricket things that annoy you

    Plenty of things you can criticise Fraser-McGurk for, but his first class stats are completely irrelevant. He'll never be a red ball cricketer, and that's absolutely fine.

    1st ODI Australia v Pakistan, November 4 1400hrs @ the MCG

    There's a disconnect between the pricing and how CA and the public see the product. People aren't that interested in bilateral ODIs anymore, CA do almost no promo for them, yet they charge premium prices. I've said before how I paid $90 for a family of four to a double-header at the T20 World...

    Analysis Should we be pursuing a secondary market post-Hobart? If yes, then where?

    We played two games in WA in 1987, one at Subi and the other at the WACA, but both were listed as away games for us. https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1987/121819870807.html https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1987/121819870503.html https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/255532156821 - Image 11...

    Australia v India - pre series discussion

    You're imagining things. Everyone for excited after his twin tons - from almost every media outlet, from every state, all the talking heads, and on this board, too. But since then, they've all backtracked. I'd be surprised if you could find more than one article from the last few days...

    Very charitable. Vance was a military PR guy and a university debater. If there's one thing he knows how to do, it's lie with a straight face.
