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

[ROOTA#6]

Why is Short worth persisting with? He's 29, his domestic career is a patchwork of below average.

Because he can actually bat. Prior to his big bash form for Adelaide he was making shield hundreds.

Greg Chappell saw him get 70 off 46 balls in some puss Vic pathway game about 12 years ago and he got a free pass since then…then JFM got a similar ride

No one has been given the ride this bloke has.

I continue to repeat TALENT is the most overrated thing in Australian cricket particularly batting

has been for a long time. not shocked we lost, our batting is shit and likely will continue to be shit for a long time.

Oh yes, Shield. That's the same as one day cricket.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Honestly who cares, ODIs are pointless outside the World Cup and that's years away

JFM and Short can both piss off though

He signed some stupid multi-year deal with Fox Sports so unfortunately we are stuck with him.
