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

[Cataholic]

Absolutely. Apparently all 973 runs in a season gets you is an Aus A game.

Hardie has had a prolonged white ball run and hasn’t fired a shot. Is he a Marsh cousin?

Were they worried Webster might've been one all-rounder too many?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Far too much cricket now .. every aspect of it is hopelessly diluted. **** T20 ..

India are the biggest proponent of T20 and are also an elite Test and ODI nation.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So the Connolly retirement brings the Maxwell wicket.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Damn, Connolly was starting to look comfortable too, this series is a bit of a write off haha

 

[V_23]

Maxwell…

 

[Cataholic]

India are the biggest proponent of T20 and are also an elite Test and ODI nation.

As just pointed out by the commentators, India are playing three distinct squads.

We're playing hybrid.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Thrillthorpe7 - how was that from Maxwell?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Win the toss win the series?

 

[fuic08]

200~ score looking like a mountain from here

More like 100

 

[Plugger35]

Maxwell gone for another duck, he is Rauf's bunny.

 

[Moonwatcher]

As just pointed out by the commentators, India are playing three distinct squads.

We're playing hybrid.

We don't have enough players to play 3 squads.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Thrillthorpe7 - how was that from Maxwell?

Did you have a point?

 

[StillAtLarge]

All over red rover

 

[Cataholic]

Maxwell isn’t horribly out of form, we just haven’t played much longer form cricket since last March and they’re clearly rusty. Like Australian sides always do, they will be in form when it matters at the major tournaments.

Maxwell is struggling big time.

Rauf is just too quick for him. And everyone else in Australian colours.....

Who pissed in Thrillthorpe7’s corn flakes?

 

[1990crow]

George Bailey should be sacked for this series selections.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Your in a fun mood this afternoon

Lots of crap getting posted tbh, but it’s very par for the course on the cricket forum when the Aussie summer comes around unfortunately.

 

[akkaps]

We don't have enough players to play 3 squads.

Could that be due to the lack of development and/or opportunity?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Who pissed in Thrillthorpe7’s corn flakes?

You mentioned not even watching Cooper Connolly at all but asked why is this guy playing, crap like that should be called out for the shit it is

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I see our C team getting beaten oh well

 

[Moonwatcher]

George Bailey should be sacked for this series selections.

Though I was critical that we left our experimentation for the 2023 WC selection too late. At least we are finding out what we have in the cupboard.

 

[Cataholic]

We don't have enough players to play 3 squads.

Agreed....was just reminiscing about the time our ODI and Test squads were completely separate I guess.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Could that be due to the lack of development and/or opportunity?

I think young Australian kids just don't want to play a long slow sport anymore. We also only have 26 million people.

 

[akkaps]

George Bailey should be sacked for this series selections.

I don't think so, if you were to include all the relevant Test players, it would be close to your best XI
JFM being the obvious blunder in selection

 

[Cataholic]

Could that be due to the lack of development and/or opportunity?

Some of it is due to one country having a population of 26 million or so, and the other having eleventy seven quadrillion.....
