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

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.Well, I guess Australia’s batting collapse is now the second-funniest thing I’ve seen today. Good grief…
You’re right that it’s an automatic assumption.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.
Were they worried Webster might've been one all-rounder too many?
Not play Webster?There’s a solution for that….
Geez there are a few blokes who’ve been given opportunities that have blown them this week.

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
Lethal Weapon or riot!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.
it has never worried them beforeTheir arrogance and complacency coming back to bite them, now they are getting embarrassed and are short changing the fans.
it has never worried them before
It might be why there's only 279 people in the stands watching them play though.....
