*Official* West Indies In Australia

Would take him over North .


Should very seriously be in the ODI team though.

Yeah agreed but the only spot open to him would be Clarke's and, well, he's obviously not going anywhere.

I could see him replacing Marsh.

His List A record is underwhelming but I reckon he should just be given a license to bat T20 style in ODIs. I mean he has 10 overs minimum with the field up and Australia bat very deep anyway atm with Harris at 10. Would be more effective than Marsh IMO.

I don't understand why people keep talking about Marsh being dropped. He looks to be a pretty good batsman, has a decent record and I still can't forget his brilliant stroke play in IPL1. Such pure shots for 6s.

From a neutral POV, can't remember such a boring summer of cricket from Australia. Every time I'd switch it on hoping for a close game, Aussie would totally eat the opposition for breakfast. Is the general consensus that the Aussie bowling attack is a lot stronger than a lot of us thought, or were the Windies just atrocious with the bat (granted missing Chanders/Sarwan & Barath) , or was it just a combo of the two.

I dunno, personally I think it even though they were weak our bowlers were doing all the right things. They fed off each other and made the breakthroughs almost at will. To win like that, game after game, and in such a ruthless manner is very difficult. Even a team like Bangladesh is bound to give you trouble here and there but we won so many games with wide margins that I am tempted to already announce us the #1 team

Warner is so awesome. Look at those forearms!

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah but he looks so short and squished. Half expect him to say "She's a good 'orse, she'll run all day Tim" in post-match interviews.

Based on this season, Warner is likely to score as many runs in ODIs as Marsh at twice the rate

Combo

Potentially a great pace attack up against 2 rabbles

 

[Craig]

Given that Warner's back leg tends to collapse when he is about to play a shot, especially in the longer versions of the game, I doubt he will be doing much until he fixes it.

Moment of the summer for mine was at the AB medal, Slater asked Ponting about his wife's attire and he replies "yeah, she scrubs up alright"

That was my thinking. Clarke is the rock in the middle order at the moment.

Yeah but Tendulkars wife scrubs up better.

Only on flat subcontinental tracks though.

A slightly disturbing image tbh..

 

[Jono]

Haha I thought so too.

Then again I've barely watched the series so possibly missed some good stuff from him with the bat.

Just like to reiterate this point, Sammy once again smashed it in the T20. Not saying he'll ever amount to much as a batsman but he seems to have a bit of ability there and is pleasing to watch.

Also, just like to round off the thread by saying I'm gutted that I wasn't there to make a "pigs might fly" crack about Smith's catch.

 

[thierry henry]

I dunno if it's just me, but does anyone else think that Bollinger's form has actually tailed off a bit and he is just getting away with it because he's been playing hopeless batsmen?

Throughout this series he's been running in harder than ever and bowling slower than ever. Low 130s has been common and the ball dieing through to the keeper. Almost like an NZ seamer

Sometimes I'm so perceptive I scare myself
