*Official* 1st ODI at the MCG

[Adders]

Has Morgan been playing BBL?

if n00fers was skipper, siddle would be on

 

[NUFAN]

Good call captain

Morgan against spin is really good and can easily score at 5+ an over without any issue. The problem I had with this Aussie bowling unit is that it is lacking that killer punch. Ideally Johnson or Patto would have come on straight away to trouble Morgan. Now we are stuck with Faulkner, who while he's a good ODI bowler, he isn't the damaging type to trouble Morgan early on.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Morgan played, and did ok, for the Chunder.

Are you Aussies sold on Warner in Test cricket? I just don't rate him myself, I bet he goes back to averaging high 30's in the SA series, sorry to go off topic

 

[Spark]

Ravi Bopari eh

Why dont you rate him, he has done pretty well.

I think he relies too much on your pace and bounce wickets, in Australia he averages 52 in 30 innings but away from home he averages 25 in 20 innings.

tbf his away series' were v WI where one batsman from either team scored a century over 3 tests, v India where he wasn't amazing but nobody for Australia really was, and v England where he was dreadfully out of form

wouldn't a year's supply of KFC gather bacteria over time?

Do you rate Root, 44 at home and 28 away.

nah definitely a fair criticism of gravey imo, has always struggled on slower wickets

Root is young and learning with potential whereas Warner is not far off where he's going to be

 

[Spikey]

England should have taken the double and walked off

 

[TNT]

I think Warner will only get better, Root I think has been found out against good fast bowling.

 

[Jayzamann]

Just waiting for X to mess up in the field to bring out the pitchforks.

Yiss!

 

[Jayzamann]

Yiss!

No!
