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

[Plugger35]

England getting the wobbles.

It's all on Livingstone.to win it.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Make 10 more runs and catch Livingstone.

 

[Plugger35]

That was a costly drop off Livingstone, now he is smashing England to victory.

Right on cue he gets bowled but it's all over now.

Has there ever been a worse international cricketer than Stoinis?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well a

That was a costly drop off Livingstone, now he is smashing England to victory.

Short 5/22 , 28 runs and he lost us the match

 

[Plugger35]

Short picking up one of the worst 5'fers of all time, good to see him doing well though, one of the first picked in my BBL SC team.

I feel a bit for Cooper, there’s no way he should be playing as a frontline spinner batting at 9. Hasn’t had any opportunity yet to show what he can do with the bat.

I know we’ve had a few go down, but surely there are some other frontline quicks floating around the county circuit.

Another failure for Stoinis, how does he keep getting games for Australia?

He is lucky to still be getting games for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash.

Im anti-Stoinis player, but he did have a reasonable T20 World Cup this year.

 

[NYRB]

I suspect they would be shadow of their actual selves had they been developed in the modern era.

Stoinis and David are two of the most overrated T20 batsmen of all time, they play about one good innings in about 10.

They aren't even that great at Big Bash level let alone international level.

I kind of think, Stoinis was playing around in a lucky era. Ive watched cricket since the early 90s and there were better all-round cricketers in that day and age , where most didn't go on to make the money the Stoin has made back in the game back then. I also doubt someone like Stoinis would have cracked a few of the WA state sides in the era Adam Gilchrist, Damien Martyn when they were the cornerstone of that white ball format.

Feel like Stoin is more worried about his image and being from Hale School in Perth , his kind of ego of him and his school is showing a bit on the world stage.

What was with that bowling attack we picked, we were never winning with that plod selected lol

In the early games that meant nothing... and memory serves me right the first game he was dropped on 11 from 18 absolute sitter before he got going.

No Archer, No Australia

Interesting line up last night...2 specialist bowlers & Connolly coming in at 9...Watched some highlights & didn't know he was playing until I saw him bowling in the 2nd innings lol

Yeah but we have some injuries..make shift bowling attack

I thought we did okay...happy with shorts bowling 5 wickets fantastic for him and us

batting was okay...Fraser first 50 Short looks okay Head going great Inglis doing well

Liked hardie at the end with greenie

But ffs why the F**k are they batting below...stoinis and David !!!...both of them David and stoinis are only good at facing 10 balls and thats it ..unless they start pulling there fingers out time to look at other options ...and the other lads are looking okay

I would rather pump games into Hardie over Stoinis and David

Hardies bowling I dont think is good enough yet at this level. He got pumelled in India in a T20 series there and economy rate was one of the worser Australian bowlers. Cam Green, probably Stoin still ahead of him in that regards,

Hardies batting is better than Stoinis if BBL form is any indication.

Im not sure if one can play at least 2 of those 3 players in the same team in a major tournament like a world cup. Well you cant definitely play 3 of the 4: Marsh, Cam Green, Stoinis or Hardie. They all a bit too similar for me. Marsh does have a liability against spin. I found it a bit weird he skipped the majority of the last IPL.

2 hrs until the T20 decider.

Looks like rain will have some role in the game. Typical Manchester weather.

The weather radar for Manchester doesn't look good, they may not get a game in at all.

Why do we keep picking Connolly as a bowler?

 

[Registered User]

bummer:

'1.20pm: the weather is threatening to spoil things. It's a pretty dank and damp day at the moment, and the prospects aren't fantastic. The latest start time for a five-over thrash is 5.48pm. 1.50pm: Here's Matt from the ground: "It looks really bleak. There's nobody in the Party Stand, a handful under cover in a the other stands. There's some standing water on the outfield."

Why do we keep picking Connolly as a bowler?

Probably a player of the future but I wouldn’t have him anywhere near the 11 at the moment

 

[freo_leo29]

OFC the one game at a watchable time isn't gonna happen

 

[freo_leo29]

Probably a player of the future but I wouldn’t have him anywhere near the 11 at the moment

Certainly not as a bowler yet
