*Official* Australia v England post-Ashes ODI series

[Starfighter]

Hence why I qualify most of my statements.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Always gets wickets in ODIs, even when bowling badly. Only once in his career has Starc bowled 10 overs without a wicket.

 

[Groundking]

Jos owes us a score....

Always gets wickets in ODIs, even when bowling badly.

Series just gone showed this applies to tests too.

 

[Burgey]

Is there a reason MMarsh hasn’t bowled?

 

[Starfighter]

He's crap?

 

[Burgey]

Yeah he’s no Travis Head

 

[Daemon]

Is Smith is the worst ODI captain currently?

 

[Burgey]

Belongs in the argument

 

[Starfighter]

Why is Head bowling again?

 

[Firebreaker]

Smith has never been a good captain even in the Tests.Its just that Australia are too good at home which gives him the leeway

 

[vogue]

50 partnership up then . Nice one.

 

[Stapel]

After Richardson got Oz back in the game, why would Smith bring on Head’s relentlessly mediocre spin?

Not sure Oz were really back in......
And when should Head be brought on? Or is his a poor selection anyway?

 

[quincywagstaff]

Probably think Warner should be ODI captain; notable how Oz turned around as ODI side once he took over as captain on 2016 SL tour. Smith’s record as ODI captain outside Oz is dire and if he starts losing home ODI series, should he be a lock as cap till the WC?

 

[Jarquis]

We need 3.54 runs an over and Clarke is saying Root shouldn’t panic being 37 off 44

 

[Groundking]

I think there's an argument now that only Warner and Starc would be certs to get into this England team now IMO. Don't see how Australia are going to win at the World Cup with this team.

 

[morgieb]

Ooh, turn on the TV and a wicket falls.

Still given that England's lower order do know which way to hold a bat, they should be fine.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Had a feeling Starc would get a wicket this over; so good around the wicket to RH bats.

 

[Spark]

Strange captaincy, bad selections and overbowling of Travis Head (again) aside, the bowlers have done okay here. If they had a proper total, say 320, to defend, then this would be a serious game.

Surely Smith would be a cert?

Think a couple of our bowlers would crack the side too, as good as England's bowling is I don't rate their bowling all that much.
