***Official*** India in Australia ODIs 2016

Burner

International Regular
I like that squad. But can't they atleast not pick Smith for the t20s? It's a 20 over match and we have to endure watching Smith bat!? I just hope that Finch and Warner never get out.

They are really taking the piss with that T20 bowling lineup

I know that all of the guys have done well in the BBL etc but it's as if anybody with pace is injured or moth-balled

Even Tait 2016 is only 145 not 155 (what's the point of his selection btw - guy is many years past his best)

i feel for dougie

he has a single bad game against the thunder and doesn't get selected when imo he should have been a lock

Tbh, it's good to see the selectors picking guys on form and it's not as if our "best" bowlers have ever won us anything at T20 level

But FMD, it's an ugly seam lineup - full of 135k guys bowling wrong 'uns and off-spinning bouncers

Effective for T20 but old-timers will look at it and see backyard cricket gone mad

Bailey is around coz of WT20
Watson's in the T20 squad but Bailey is not, so this doesn't really hold either.

Perhaps they wanted Watson to just keep playing the Big Bash T20s because of the WT20, but I think the most likely explanation is that they just don't think he's as good as Finch, SMarsh or Khawaja after some lean times in the middle order, and I don't really think they're right on that front.

perfect example of media manipulation. Can't help but feel that Faulkner won this confrontation comfortably, he was proven absolutely correct in the end.
When the opposition talk to the Australians it is called a response and when the Australians speak it is called a sledge.

Is this a big issue for the media, the series so far has had no major problems and no controversy. They tried to corner Dhoni with the DRS issue but he seemed to have dodged that OK, is desperation creeping into the media.

They're not trying to even paint this as controversy though. They're basically just reporting it as "lol this banter was amusing".
