The only meaningful ODI series now is the World Cup, the rest is just rubbish.

We could if the qualifiers were a bit more challenging for the major teams. It's a bloodbath for the b-teams
It is now, the old tri-series used to go off though.

There's no reason we couldn't do that again with specific teams. Australia, India, Pakistan in a tri-series would absolutely go off here. Teams get their ODI credits in to keep them in the top 8 for qualification, India and Pakistan matches will have solid crowds due to their immigrant population here.
Yea it would need to be scheduled properly & prices dropped, CA only gives a toss about BBL that's probably not gonna change.
It's amazing to think now that we once had a West Indies/Zimbabwe tri-series

True but Zimbabwe went awfully close to beating Australia at the WACA in that particular tri series.
Yep, they were decent to be fair back then. That game was the closest we came to losing that summer

Its looking like that.
Cricket Australia have already shown how badly they have planned things and their thirst for the broadcasters/revenue dollar. eg think of the 50 over ODI series against England , 2-3 days out after the T20 World Cup in 2022.
Even with the influx of bilateral T20 series these days, most of them are just played to keep cities and TV viewers happy. The T20 World Cup this year will be a success though.

Some of the more memorable games were actually games not involving Australia in that tri series.
Games I remember as a kid, South Africa v NZ at the GABBA, England v Sri Lanka at Adelaide Oval (when Murali was called for chucking)......Those were the days.........
Not sure Sutherland quite has the pace for this level.

Kerry gone full Muttley
Shane's laugh wasn't that annoying so he gets a pass
Come on Kerry, that wasn't even that funny.

Why isn’t Hope a regular starter in the Test side
Because he flopped at test level. Not like he wasn't given a chance
I knew Sutherland wasn't express but he bowls slower than I thought.
