I checked the scorecard , and it's been discussed but what's the point of rolling out a b side for a decider.

I don't get the prioritise the test series, well for starters just play both , how much rest do players need.

Secondly don't fixture it this way then?

It's either important and matter or don't bother .

Hence why no one gives a **** when the team doesn't anyway.

I would argue that’s it’s fine to not have the test players play in this game, especially the bowlers.

But I agree this series is weirdly scheduled. Probably should’ve started a little earlier so you can have full strength sides

Of course a Test series will get prioritised over limited overs cricket outside of World Cups, that’s absolutely nothing new and hasn’t hindered our ability to win major tournaments in ODIs.

Well, I guess Australia’s batting collapse is now the second-funniest thing I’ve seen today. Good grief…
There are people on here that can actually recall Australia being on a 14 game winning streak only 2 months ago, so forgive me for not calling for selectors to be sacked or thinking players are hacks/out of form after a couple of poor performances.
 
No, I looked at others. Australia has 6 primary venues and they are all decent sized.

Even Lucknow in India which is one of the smaller ones, the straighter boundaries are around 70 metres and the square ones are 63-65.

I’m not sure what you consider ‘many’ of the Indian venues.
Mohali’s boundaries are mostly about 75 metres, some areas are just below 70.
The Sawai Mansingh ground’s boundaries are almost 80 metres everywhere except right on square where they would be about 65 if the pitch is in the centre of the square.

Like I said, it’s an automatic assumption that people make that is rarely founded on fact.
You’re right that it’s an automatic assumption.

The problem is where they put the ropes.

So it’s not so much the size of the ground, as the size of the field of play.
 
Geez there are a few blokes who’ve been given opportunities that have blown them this week.

Stoinis
Hardie
JFM

Short has been okay but seems to have a habit of pumping the ball straight at fielders

Connolly unlucky but probably getting a shot before he’s ready

The real tragedy is that for the 3rd game in a row there’s nothing on the tv from 8 o’clock because they can’t even see out 40 overs let alone 50

Its going to be a Married with Children and Cheers episode marathon tonight at this rate. Maybe some ten pin bowling coverage
 
Hussey's right, Australia assumed we'd be 2-0 up and they could rest the test team.

Don't know how or why that was assumed.

We've been absolutely bullied and humiliated in the 3 games, and only managed to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat in the first because of Cummins.
 
Just saw the 11 and decided not to tune in.

What’s the point in scheduling these games if we’re not going to take them seriously?
