***Official*** Australia in India ODIs/T20s 2017

[Burgey]

They’ll play them both, get the team mix wrong and still win with a leg in the air.

 

[Burgey]

then why get so defensive when we say he should be dropped

I’m not being defensive. Australia uses inter-WC jam odi series as trials, and have since forever. He’s being trialled to see how he goes. He deserves more than one game

 

[Burgey]

the more relevant question would be why you’d gaf about a series like the other than to trial blokes pre-WC

Actually a good point. The hypothesis that dropping Cartwright is the right thing to do is heavily reliant on the flawed assumption that the Australian selectors actually give a **** about whether or not they win this series.

For all we know they'd rather lose the series to build a friendly relationship with the BCCI.

Is wade being trialled for the WC? I sure hope he makes the cut.

Yeah, not like Australia can ever lose otherwise..

I'm all for dropping Forkers Faulkner whenever possible but Zampa too bloody hell

There are a number of truths in cricket. Among these are:

1. It has a crazy way of rewarding hard work
2. The wheel is forever
3. Australia DAGF about inter-WC Odis then win the WC afterwards
4. The wheel is forever

Haha... u wish.

Sample size being four of the past five probably suggests I’m somewhere close to the money tbh

 

[Burgey]

The best odi bowler in the world is a hairs breadth from playing. Parra blokes shitting themselves he’d play for west’s this weekend against them. If they GAF they’d have him over there. They care to the extent they want to see how unproven blokes go but otherwise they only care about the next WC, test series vs India and the Ashes. Doesn’t mean it’s right, but it is what it is

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. the ATG team of the 2000s had more to do with it I would think than any strategy.

 

[Burgey]

Nah there were big changes in each of those teams between WCs. Seriously.

 

[vcs]

Then why do they suck hard in Champions Trophies and WT20s?

 

[Burgey]

I don’t know. I think they dgaf about the CT mostly, T20s a more difficult proposition to work out, though it’s a different form of the game again

 

[cnerd123]

Burgey trolling hard and getting paid 500 bucks an hour to do it

Living the dream

 

[Burgey]

$550.00*

*Post-July 1 increase in billable rate.

*****, you know what it’s like having players unavailable for meaningless series, what with Al Hasan pulling the pin on SA and all. Like him, Australia right now dgaf
