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

[Borisdog]

setting a 34~ year old up to start opening at age 34 is mismanagement to the highest degree, but i thought (could be misremembering) that bancroft had recovered his reasonable form of when he was first selected.

You started with Smith has damaged the Test side.
Now you're saying it was, by implication, mismanagement by CA.

Give it up mate.

Cooper Connolly.....

Shiver me timbers Willy Wonka would even be jealous how many golden tickets have been given out to get into this team....

He played in our last ODI series against England a couple months back..

You ****en pillock

Good grief.

That's just dumb by Short.

While I don’t disagree with the general gist of your point, you realise the boundary sizes at most of the main Indian grounds are more or less the same as the Australian ones right? The MCG is a bit bigger, and the straight boundaries at Adelaide, but that’s about it, with a few variances across the grounds here and there.

The dimensions of Eden Gardens for example are bigger than the Gabba; roughly the same square, and about 10 metres longer down the ground. Wankhede is roughly the same as the SCG.

I don’t know why it’s assumed that every ground not in Australia is smaller than our grounds.

That's 2 grounds. Many of them are VERY small. This ground ( Perth ) isn't huge either

Now we're in a bit of trouble.

Though this is the type of game that Stoinis does well in.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

In Stoinis and Maxwell we trust....

 

[CakeEater]

Brainless from Short

 

[Matrix10]

I'm disappointed they couldn't squeeze a few more West Australians in

3 WA spuds not enough for you ! How the feck does Inglis get a game ahead of Carey , let alone be appointed captain. mind boggling , like when they dropped Travis Head , clueless

 

[MJG14]

Stoinis in now, he hasn't scored an ODI 50 in five years

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

In Stoinis and Maxwell we trust....

yeah, Maxwell isn’t noted for getting us out of trouble

 

[Carbine Chaos]

How do you reckon guys like Law and Love etc. must feel watching the current state of Australian batting?

 

[hawkman]

4 down in the 14th over and Zampa's batting 9.

I think we are in trouble

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

corbies please save this thread! It’s a bunch of posters that don’t follow domestic cricket or anything outside of Aus commenting on the abilities of players they’ve never heard about.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

In Stoinis and Maxwell we trust....

at least they’ve got nets experience against Rauf from the stars

Can’t believe it took this long to get a reference to previous eras!

 

[benbrown]

Big chance wasted for short,dumb batting

Give it up mate.

both can be true? he should never have been made to open, and he certainly didn't stop CA from making him open.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

FullyBigKPro what are you actually laughing at? Your complete lack of knowledge about Maxwell or your lack of knowledge about Australian cricket?

T20 has wreaked some damage imo.

Frustrating start to the Summer for him after starting to look a bit more settled over in England only a couple of months ago. Getting out to his best shot too.

Mate - Both of them are horribly out of form, just having a bit of light-hearted banter. Chill.
