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

Head with the highest score in England by an Aussie in ODIs, absolute bloody star

He certainly is killing it. But such a great time to be a batsman in this glorious era of flat wickets. You really are a pretty average bat to not pile on runs in this generation of cricket.
You would not want to be a bowler in a million years. Lucky they get paid well to run in all day and get smashed around the park with absolutly no hope of getting a wicket other than a batting error.

Amazing how Head can bat this well for Australia but still look like a complete bunny when he plays for the Strikers.

He isn't up against the best England bowling attack though, they are just bowling part time spinners instead of Jofra.

They have waved the white flag.

Is Archer even in Englands best attack?

Played 2 games, lost them both. Only game he missed, England won.

Plus he’d bowled 6 overs of pies, can’t bowl any more than that.

Bloke is cooked sorry have to say it surely it’s Wood plus two mediums and a spinner

Forever amazed by just the player Travis Head has become. Don't think anyone in their wildest imaginations would've picked it 5 years ago.

Just read something that he remains the only test player to be run out on debut in both innings.

Averaged 51.62 or so, thats not too shabby an average given he played 20 test matches.

Was he batting with Steve Waugh

Turning 30 next year, so he's def up against it. Though he did look pretty dangerous in the lead up to the T20 world cup, so i wouldn't rule him out completely. Interesting to see if he's fit for the Ashes next year and how he'd perform on Australia pitches

[Cleavy]

Hardie at 8. still don't like that.

**** these pricks on the mic are boring.

 

[Moonwatcher]

That was plumb

 

[Moonwatcher]

Don't think it was high.

**** these pricks on the mic are boring.

Much much better to listen to 'boring' than boorish Australian commentary.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Too high, good umpiring

 

[MJG14]

Great call from the debutant umpire.

 

[Andronicus]

Much much better to listen to 'boring' than boorish Australian commentary.

Much, much better?

I'd rather find it over the top than boring.

Only an incredibly boring person can find Atherton and his lack of emotion acceptable.

 

[Bedi]

nice chip for 6

The cricket/football is the entertainment. Broadcasters forget this.

 

[Bedi]

having Punter commentate somehow legitmises this whole series. It's one you'd expect a Julian or Haddin sent out to do.

It is.

That's why it's far more entertaining with Atherton muted. He is clearly devoid of any excitement and sucks it from everyone around.
