Australian white-ball tour of Scotland and England, September 2024

[NYRB]

Atherton "bank balance a bit ropey at late (in reference to Bristol getting an ODI game)"

 

[NYRB]

Australias next ODI is at the MCG in November. Serious question, whats the deal with scheduling first white ball of the series on a Monday?



I may look to head down to Melbourne, as Melbourne Cup will be on next day.

Maybe this is the reason. Allows people to go to Melbourne for 2 events.

Dragged it back to a run a ball

Lucky bastard

 

[Westend]

village batting

Boundaries straight down the ground are short.

Tammy Beaumont a gun in the commentary box

Athers mentioned that Salt has a hit and miss rate of 16% with the bat. (Play and miss) One of the highest in international cricket.

 

[Nicho50]

One of the worst knocks you’ll ever see from Salt here so far with 2 glorious shots and then 20 balls of looking like a crab for the rest.

 

[Westend]

these two are the luckiest set of bastards I have ever seen

 

[Moonwatcher]

RIP Starc

Thought Sunday day night should have been a better slot for the opening game of the Australian Summer. A better prime time slot than a working Monday.

But thats just me.

and the funny thing is the poms think its good batting....

honestly salt is crap and is not what the poms need

We just don't have the batting to chase the targets England are capable of setting.

village batting

Village bowling from Starc too, most of England's runs so far have come from him.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just 11 runs from bowlers that aren't Starc

 

[Westend]

We just don't have the batting to chase the targets England are capable of setting.

of course we do

 

[Moonwatcher]

of course we do

If Head doesn't make 100

 

[LukeParkerno1]

ugly bowling lineup (3 specialists)

Would you prefer Abbott lol

 

[Cleavy]

Well we’re playing 8 batsmen today, so may as well have a crack.

Would you prefer Abbott lol

I guess if the series wasn’t on the line, maybe Beardman might have played?

Smith is due for starters but having Lab and Smith in the same side doesn’t work in these chases

Game has added importance for Cooper Connolly today. With wickets in Pakistan likely to be spinner friendlier, than he books his ticket. Dont think its as essential to have a 3rd seamer over there.
