*Official* Second ODI in Brisbane

[MW1304]

Clearly if Bop had bowled more, than we would have won.

Bopara>Stokes.

Why are people saying this is devastating, it's an ODI, the Test series was devastating, this is just mildly annoying.

Haha yeah, this would have been worse if we hadn't managed to lose every game so far. Kind of getting used to it actually.

Can't believe they actually did this. Amazing.

Have been very impressed by CA's social media presence this summer. They've been super quick in pumping out highlights on their Youtube channel, and they've been pretty good value on Facebook and Twitter from the stuff I've seen around the place.

Faulkner's use of the crease also makes it difficult to bowl yorkers. He has both feet within the crease and depending on how big his stride is, can make the difference between yorker and full toss. I'm not saying its a factor every ball, but surely it makes a difference on some of the deliveries.

Nearly every batsman does that at the death now tbh.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Agreed, CA has the best use of Facebook I've seen from any of the Aus sporting organisations.


I still haven't seen anything whatsoever in Coulter-Nile to make me think he deserves to be playing ODI's. Aus bowling in general needs to improve.

I think I'm not so bothered because I see good things from this series, unlike the Test Series. Jordan, Stokes, Ballance and Buttler could be useful in the years to come, in all forms. All of an age, and if we're to become good again we clearly need a new batch of players.

Half expecting all these mentions of yorkers to come with an extra advertisement for the Mavericks Cricket Academy...

Monty Panesar and the entire Sikh population would beg to differ.

Yes. Which makes bowling yorkers at the death harder now as a batsman can make a would-be yorker into a half volley or full toss.

The speed at which CA puts highlights up is great.

For example, Faulkner's unbelievable finish is already up.

It's what happens when some lucky bastard has the job of his life. Imagine getting paid to comment on cricket and have access to all the media surrounding cricket you want. Some dude was clearly a freaking sea cucumber in a past life or something.

Can't decide whether it was exceptionally poor bowling at the death or just great batting from Faulkner. Letting a team put on 65 for the last wicket in a run chase just isn't on and this will have knocked every last bit of wind that was in England's sails. The last 3 ODI's could be ugly.

Yeah, loving it. Need some HD vids though, 480p in 2014 from arguably the nation's biggest sporting organisation is pretty poor.

I think they just pull the feed from C9. So if they aren't doing HD...

 

[jan]

What to say about this match?

 

[Jono]

Dunno how you can argue that this isn't devastating. It's not the loss. It's the fact that it proved that England are a piss weak cricket team in ever single way right now. It would have seriously been better if England were bowled out for 200.

Clint McKay is king by the way. Best hang arounder knock for a long time.
