3rd ODI Australia v Pakistan, November 10 1400hrs @ Perth Stadium

[NYRB]

$ rules world cricket.

$ says T20 and the IPL is king. They are far more lucrative than Test cricket. Players are bought for millions and play for their financial retirement.

$ is also why India's blatant dissent with the umpire was swept under the carpet the other day. Integrity came a distant second.

Golden rule in ODI cricket was bat your full allocation. That has been lost now with the progression & money in the T20 game . This is why test match cricket won’t be the first international format to die.

Key learnings

Hard to argue with that. I look forward to seeing these key learnings playing out during the BTG.

Not sure if you've been subject to modern corporate thinking, but key learnings are the most important factor going forward on the journey etc

 

[RookiePick]

We taken Morris off already?

Bowled him from the wrong end, realised and switched him around. Just to compound our lame duck effort today

Will they “reach out” to the players not selected?

Sadly, they had to let them go

 

[Cleavy]

What learnings?

probably the elite honesty. are we still doing that?

I'm knew I was too old for this shit once they started talking about yellow belt sigma something and taking things offline. I don't even listen during meetings now.

FMD. Corporate speak is the worst.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Surely they are at a point where they put a line through Sean Abbott. It's never going to happen.

Journeys have the potential to deliver elite learnings

Don't play so many WA players

 

[Gavin Excell]

Failure to embrace learnings when upon journeys can't be stressed enough

 

[evolved2]

Hopefully our learnings > India's learnings against NZ.

I tend to think neither side learned anything, so it's a toss up.

Life is a journey…not a destination

 

[hawkman]

So many learnings on this page they are starting to read like lemmings which is an apt discription of the Australian top order

 

[JackOutback]

Life is a journey…not a destination

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long.

 

[Gavin Excell]

No
Life is a Highway

Too quick

Well just got back ...what a disaster today at Optus though Adelaide was a one off but we have serious issues

Just talked shop with some mates about the standard of Aussie Cricket atm ....a few observations

1. Why did the test players rest when they are playing the first in Perth ??....perfect opportunity on a fast bouncy seaming track to get some practice in for both marnus and Smudge.....and the bowlers I sort of can understand but it would be nice to have some practice on the ground you are actually playing at in a weeks time.... Centre wicket practice means F**k all

2. Just a total disrespect by CA Australia with the scheduling to the fans and to Pakistan. Yes its nice to see youngens given a go but if you are not going to play your best 11 why should the paying public rock up ??

3. I thought the experienced players today where woeful apart form Abbott with the bat.. Stoinis and maxwell just nothing really poor..zamps fielding was shocking...and inglis should know better 3 times getting out to he pull shot just not good enough

4. The batting......Fraser is terrible no foot work..t20 only ..Short just makes starts cant go on with it....Hardie all at sea really struggling... Connolly unluckly broken hand......and its obvious this lineup struggles against pace...Warner made a good point last game the lack of air speed in the shield...and you can see it with our batters they cant handle it

5. Bowling i thought was okay when you have only got 140 to play with.....Johnstone okay Abbot average....but why the F**k didnt we open the bowling with Morris ??? wtf is stoinis going to ...the Pakistanis where loving it with no Morris opening the bowling

Oh well reality check for the ausssies young players are not taking the opportunity and its very poor to see

 

[western royboy]

No
Life is a Highway

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Hardie has been very disappointing at my first look st him

 

[Westend]

Hardie has been very disappointing at my first look st him

Yeah he has really struggling...its a shame the 170 odd he made in the shield final was class I was there....thought we had a player

Really think he doesn't know what his role is....every game he is batting in a different position...3 6 8 ....and really he is not an out and out bowler....he is a batter who bowls a bit..not a genuine allrounder

He did make a very good 40 odd in england recently against Archer and played quite well...so there is still hope ...but I would rather him playing shield cricket than white ball atm

just another young player failing to take there opportunity and make the step up to inter cricket

The gaps between each level are getting bigger because the depth at the bottom is not there

Don't play so many WA players

go with what works, NSW only.
