Had he taken at least 1 of the easy 2's he refused to run for, then that last ball doesn't happen as NZ have to protect the boundary as well
NSW players let us down today,thank god for a vic player to make a game of it.

Wowee, what an innings, what a game and what a way for it to finish! :eek:

I'd lost interest and was out of the room as it was happening at the time and the last I saw Marcus was on 70ish, but I could hear it from the other room and it sounded like we were just dying a slow death and then the TV switched itself off, as the remote hadn't been used for an hour and then a while later, on the hourly news on the radio, they said we were on 280 and needed just 7 more runs to win and I was like "uwotm8?"! :eek:
 
Lmao wot. If you are claiming Stoinis now... We are gonna claim Klinger n Mitchell Johnson

You can have Klinger, we don't want him ;)

WA cannot claim Stoinis after all the shit he cops from the West and how he wasn't even able to get a game, yet can for the Shield Champions :)
 
If our useless captain didn't bowl out Starc earlier it might have helped too, doubt Boult is smacking 18 off Starc!

That is where we lost the game.

Yeah we batted like trash, but we'd have chased it had we been chasing 270-275 not 286!

Some players. Good at state level, average at international level.

What's the secret to picking players for Australia?
No secret - just pick the same players game after game until they retire because that is the safe way to go.
However, I would love to know who is behind this recent trend of selecting new players.

Lmaoo you don't want the leading big bash scorer of all time? Ok Eddie haha

And you are right, I don't like Stoinis that much, overrated and can tell he thinks he's a ladies man haha but I appreciate good cricket, he played well today and hope he can be Mitch Marsh v2.0
 
It is a real pity Stoinis had such a poor Shield season. Personally he is the number 6 All Rounder in the test side we have been looking for. First and foremost he can actually bat in the top 6, rather than Marsh who is a number 8-9 at best in test cricket. What did surprise me was how well Stoinis bowled though.
 
How do you take anything from that if your NZ?

I guess you can be happy enough with the batting fightback given the Australian bowling attack was basically at full strength but they bowled complete filth to a bloke that's not even a lock to make Australia's 2nd XI and should have lost the unloseable game against a team missing it's best 2 players.

Is that you Rod? Marshy?

You taking white ball form and putting it in the test arena... Easy son.

Id say Stoinis has a more solid technique than Mitch, but that's about it.

He also has a far superior first class batting record. Same amount of 100's and 50's but Stoinis has had about half the innings
 
Now we have selection headaches
Does Finch play and WTF is Shaun Marsh in the team for

I'd play Maxwell, Head, Faulkner and Stoinis in the same team
Mitch Marsh doesn't deserve to play ODIs
Head to open, Maxwell at 4, Stoinis at 6 and Faulkner at 7/8
My Dream Team is
Warner, Head, Smith, Maxwell, Lynn, Stoinis, Wade, Faulkner, Hastings, Starc, Hazlewood

With Cummins, Zampa, Finch and Khawaja as SUBS
That will kill every team

There's no one else in the squad. Finch and co will stay.

Heazlett out for Wade if fit.

Do we bring in Zampa the real question
