***Official*** Australia in Sri Lanka

White looks a bit clueless.

As I was saying earlier...

Speaking of non-performing T20I leaders...

Greg Chappell in discussions about the idea of replacing Cameron White with the current captain of the Australian U19 team.



I would actually support this

 

[MW1304]

Warner looks in good form. Why doesn't someone just try giving him the strike?

How on earth did we make the final of the WC in this format last year...

we actually picked a balanced team, if memory serves me

and of course

Yeah... Mitch Marsh would be a better bet than him on any given day at present.

We all have watched plenty of T20I featuring Oz to know that its pretty much a norm with us, we bat and bowl without any planning or skills and so far we were blaming guys like Punter and Pup for being non-performing T20 leaders who were weighing the team down in this format, but don't think there is anywhere to hide anymore now.

I'm still fine with getting shot of Pup as a non-performer in T20. Nothing that happens here will ever change that one.

White and Dussey can't play spin much and White is in stinking form. Shaun Marsh can play spin a bit better but I've never been sure that he's up to international cricket mentally.

The tactics with the bowlers are howlingly funny. Who in their right minds would give Mitch the last over?

Nah the teams are pretty similar. The only real difference is Lee instead of Tait/Nannes, leadership and of course Mussey.

Nannes, Tait and Johnson blasting teams out.

 

[Cevno]

Seriously i have just seen White not being **** in about 2 matches in all of the umpteen games(more than 25 atleast) i have seen of him including the IPL?
How the hell has he become Captain?

Plus different conditions too, tbf.

Was making a general comment. We've been scarcely competent in T20s since

I guess it's nice to see Smith using his feet.

Just laugh about it. No point in questions. Not with our current admin. I'll bet Nielsen thought it was an excellent idea to save Mitch for the last over. And he probably thinks that it went for 4 runs. They never seem to see what the fans see.

 

[Spark]

Christ I hope this doesn't set the standard for our batting vs spin for the rest of the tour

 

[SamSawnoff]

Nannes, Tait and Johnson blasting teams out.

Nannes was top wicket taker in that series. He is still worth his weight in this format. Saw him play in England and how nice to watch the stumps go cartwheeling. It is an underrated tactic to just effing well bowl at the stumps.

 

[Furball]

Warner's playing a completely different game to anyone else in yellow.

I like Smith but that's just ****ing woeful.

 

[NUFAN]

LOL at Smith, what a disgusting way to get out from the 'big hitting' Smith.

BTW for those complaining about White as captain, who would you like as captain?

 

[vicky]

I guess it's nice to see Smith using his feet.

heh...

 

[Jacknife]

WTF was that from Smith.
