*Official* Group A Discussion - Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, India

[Shri]

Hopes gone too. MJ to slog out and get a 50.

Don't think Australia will do very well tonight, I'm backing the Windies to dominate our batting lineup.

Fletcher can do some serious damage to our fledgling bowlers.

Paine, should not be opening at this stage.

 

[Pratters]

Sammy has bowled really, really well, it must be said.

 

[Shri]

If the Aussies can't face these quick bowlers, India might get smashed in the batting dept too.

 

[morgieb]

Wow, we are getting smashed by a B team.

But I reckon we can still own the WI's poor excuse for a batting lineup.

Roach and Tonge have been average. Bernard hasn't bowled too well either. It is Australia's inability to face Miller coupled with Sammy bowling really well. Don't think India should be having much problem. Then again, our batting is dependent on 2-3 players and would be very inconsistent as a result, so we can collapse as well.

 

[inbox24]

Don't think Australia deserve to win this even if they bowl well, it'd just be papering over giant chasms.

 

[GIMH]

How did we lose 6 ODIs to these?

Australia will clearly still win this IMO

That gives the answer to your first statement. It wasn't that Australia were great. England was that much more dire. One of the worst ODI series I have seen in a while.

You are so hard to understand.

We don't need to play total cricket to win games. No-one at all is saying Australia are batting well, indeed, we have a lot of positions to figure out. So when we're not playing well, and in this transitional phase, and with three key players out, stop and think to see what's really going on.

 

[Nate]

Jonnerssssssssssssssssss

 

[Uppercut]

Midge to take Aussie to 250, inbox to stfu.

 

[Shri]

This little cameo should do a world of good to MJ's confidence. I think this momentum will carry on into his bowling too.

 

[Johnners]

Jonnerssssssssssssssssss

Indeed, wag. Gutted i can't watch this tourney

Come over?

 

[Johnners]

There in 5.

 

[GIMH]

Haha Johnson does it again

 

[Shri]

50 partnership.

 

[Shri]

First ODI 50 for MJ coming up.

 

[Jarquis]

I really really dislike Johnson as a batsman.. Just the sort of player you hate the opposition having.
