***Official*** Australia in England 2018

[Cow]

Im pretty sure Starc just played a few games in the 4-1 series win for England in his home conditions.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

"Not enough to restrict a team like this"
"Australia needs more aggressive batting"
"outdated mode of ODI cricket"

etc. etc.

Saving Miyagi the trouble. Even he must get sick of posting the same thing over and over eventually.

Not at all. So Starc bowls instead of Tye - bowls 9 overs for 60 instead of 100 - (thats 40% less runs than the best IPL death bowler!!!!)

441 instead of 481 - how do Straya chase this with Smith (who's SR is in the 80's btw)?

i love to piss on australias sycophantic overhype of every glass sculpted goon who can bowl once a year more than most, but are we seriously going to debate the difference of starc/haze/cummins versus a bowling attack that contains someone with parents deranged enough to call their son Jhye?

 

[Mr Miyagi]

You're completely underrating how important taking wickets in a world cup is IMO

Shame the world cup is next year and Aus's away record suggests they just don't know how to play away (or at home)

starc and haze just got abused by England's LO team in Aus.

yup. it's almost like the two previous world cup finalists made it there based on blasting the opposition out with the ball as well as scoring lots of runs.

I am - because I rated their bowling before this tour. The problem is their batting and Steve Sandpaper Smith (aka Nissan SSS) doesn't solve their problem.

Batting SR is their massive problem before Agar is even remotely considered.

Their 1991/92 team under TOTAB looks stronger and they didn't even make the semis of the WC.

I know Australia getting paddled brings all the posters to the yard but I can't believe Im having argument as to whether Starc and co would improve our bowling attack or not.

Of course he does, but he doesn't drop 481 to under 400 :P Heck - even if he doesn't bowl at all - you're going for over 300 and have next to 0 chance of chasing it down.

 

[theegyptian]

Starc has a poor record against England in ODI cricket. Probably skipped this tour to protect his average.

 

[Flem274*]

i think i've rewritten history too well. we actually have real live posters who don't remember mitchell starc's odi bowling

 

[Mr Miyagi]

How many runs would Starc go for vs England on his best day?

A 20 runs
b 40 runs
c 60 runs

Subtract the answer above from 481 :P

exactly. Starc has been serving up filth in England ever since he set foot on these shores. 481 could be 520 if he's true to form.

Saw England smash in 2018, seemed the history flattered him.

That's a poorly simplistic way to look at it

If Starc has a good day that 481 could drop to 250 or lower. Even on a pitch like this. Especially if he has Hazlewood & Cummins for back-up. Aus had England 5 for 8 at Adelaide just 6 month ago (and that was without Starc).

It's like you've forgotten what cricket was before yesterday. Not every game is a slogathon.

6.56 at over 36. Starc the king maker between 6th Aus and Eng #1 - no.

Please. 6.56 at home.

That is like 325+ :P

Finch and Smith and Warner aint chasing that.

Wonder how long till every forumer learns to not engage with Mr Miyagi

Anyone wanna take sweepstakes on if it happens before or after a team scores 500 in an ODI?
