140 ono.

 

[Jayzamann]

Ireland would have done better.

Yeah they still would be none down, tbh.

So White kept his place and Dussey was dropped and White lasted 4 balls.

Hmm.

 

[benchmark00]

I don't think players get 'dropped' in Australian limited overs teams any more, just 'rotated'.

 

[Jayzamann]

Oh wow that did not end well.

 

[smash84]

168 is a pretty decent score on this pitch......nice opening partnership

Hmm.

And he's Victorian. I've just been reflecting on how little Victoria contributed to Australia's era of dominance (now at an end) beyond Shane Warne. I say that as a Victorian.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Surely there's been more players than just Warne who've actually done something for Aus.

We cling to Dean Jones the way England cling to Botham.

Oh Cummins

 

[benchmark00]

You don't watch Starc bowl.


You experience it.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Pff you know and I know his stint with Yorkshire has helped him more than a fair bit.

 

[benchmark00]

Pff you know and I know his stint with Yorkshire has helped him more than a fair bit.

He's been bowling like this for the past 12+ months. During the ODI series last summer in Australia he bowled several unplayable opening spells. Think it's a case of you only seeing him for the first time this European summer. If anything, Yorkshire has harmed him because he actually knows some English people now.
