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

[por_please_ya]

Saim Ayub, what a little star!

 

[brutus76]

We couldn't even bat out the overs - useless tossers!

Where's the leadership there?

 

[Plugger35]

Hardie starts with a pie and Saim Ayub dines out again.

The only 10 wickets loss Australia has had in ODI cricket came in Wellington in 2007 when most of Australia's best players were resting ahead of the upcoming World Cup in the West Indies.

That isn't all of them since it stops at 2016 but it still hasn't happened at home

Comical drop from Zampa. Match fixing type drop.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Fair to say Australia haven't come out switched on at all.

Here are a couple of hints for the future
1 / it's a 50 over game . You don't need a thrashing machine like JFM who comes off about once in every 5 innings to open.
2/ Short is a bit of a journeyman if you ask me and shouldn't be there
3/ how many times have we said it but there is no place for Smith and Marnus in the same team.

bad day lads

 

[Carbine Chaos]

A 10 wicket belting within 20 overs against these pissants

This is probably the mindset that has the side in this mess today.

They have a great bowling attack and some talented batsmen. We've clearly taken them too lightly (which you'd think we'd have learned not to do after the WI Test debacle).

 

[por_please_ya]

I'm just enjoying this great partnership from Pakistan now haha. Looking forward to getting out of here and going for a nice dinner in the city.

 

[StillAtLarge]

This has been an awesome innings to watch, a classic start slow, get your eye in and expand your shots once you pass 20

 

[hawkman]

Hopefully Fraser-McGurk learns a lesson about how to bat in a ODI from Saim

 

[western royboy]

So the bats aren't scoring, the bowlers aren't taking wickets and Harris scored runs to threaten for a place agaisnt India

Not sure the day could go any worse

Young Pakistani’s playing like batsmen as opposed to our mutants

There’s nothing wrong with a thrashing machine that only comes off every now and then. The key is having a decent one that is going to pay rich dividends on the days when he gets past 10-20.

Jayasuriya was the original long term thrashing machine (yes we had Greatbatch sent in to pinch hit in 1992 etc etc) and Kaluwitharana was the precursor to Sanath making the role his own but he was really the first just out and out long term opener to go up there without a care in the world and try and slog it. He passed 50 96 times in 450 matches or near enough and turned 28 of them into centuries. So even the very best at the role are not going to deliver all that often

Mind you he was also a very decent ODI bowler so he had extra value

But the question with someone like JFM is whether he is actually ever going to be good enough to deliver with even close to THAT sort of regularity and whether he can turn his 50s into 70s, his 70s into 100s etc

Called batting 101 a subject discarded in this country

His average isn't awful but i've never really thought Marnus was a very good short form batter. There just isn't much else better I guess.

Hack at every ball and if the opposition has a horrendous day you might get lucky?

Jayasuriya was more than a thrashing machine he had a good technique to keep out the good ones

 

[Plugger35]

Saim Ayub putting on a clinic, this will be a hell of a ton if he can get there.

 

[western royboy]

still time

Google Arsene Wenger on “technique”

In short

“If you haven’t got it by 16 you’ll never have it”

This isn't hacking at every ball. Plus he started slowly to get himself in. Was 6 off 24

 

[Doggy]

He's also been quite lucky ... against a team that clearly hasn't bothered turning up

 

[JimmyBC]

No point turning the lights on

Luck is apart of cricket, always has been.

AFTV bitching about Arsene when the gooners would get beaten at home was absolute gold back in the day.
