Australian Squad Discussion

Australia struggling with the short ball :face:

 

[Burgey]

More an Ashes type thought, but Warner really is doing everything to not be selected.

 

[Top_Cat]

Bloody Cardiff.

 

[Jarquis]

Oi.

 

[hendrix]

I wouldn't get too carried away with NZ. We're yet to see how they perform when Guptill fails.

[Jono]

Very surprised to see India collapse on a pitch where the ball bounces more than ankle height

Hahahahahhahahahahahha

****en **** ****s

 

[the big bambino]

I think England should take the ashes and walk over to The Oval right now and start celebrating. Our side aren't just bad they stink worse than skunk ****. Here I was thinking our bowling led by the 2 Mitches was weak. But being snotted by like this is like being bullied in the play ground by Martin Prince. Not even our batting in the late 70s and mid 80s was this bad and we were only half a side then. The one misrepresenting us atm is full strength ffs.

 

[Z-Man]

Might as well play this guy. At least he passes his test unlike others who fail even after doing their homeworks.

[Spikey]

sadly, we aren't playing against south australia on north sydney oval

Did India's top order collapse?

Yes

Was I just about the only one to predict that Oz would not make it our of their group because we are ****?

Yes

Ishant took 3 wickets and that is all you need to know about Australia's "quality" with the bat

Do things such as the South African series last January not count?

 

[Daemon]

Not sure what to make of this. Apart from 4 guys being amazing everyone has been **** in the warmups.

not sure about this. certainly can't remember too many predictions that we would make it out.

IIRC, most seemed to think we would make it to semis

Obviously hadn't seen us bat lately

As far as an ODI attack goes I can think of plenty who are much worse than Johnson and Starc.

aus to win

I'd say when you make a post like this:

... and then India go on to score 300+ and Australia get bowled out for less than 70... you don't then come back onto the forum and brag about how awesome your predictions are. Have some pride and just back away.

Do things such as the England series last February not count?

Anyhoo... my prediction was dead on. Guptill failed in the last ODI and NZ lost.

To get back on topic...

Australia, if you want to beat England in your first game then bowl first. Their team isn't designed to score quickly in the first half of their batting order. They can be strangled, putting enormous pressure on Morgan and Buttler.
