***Official*** Australia in England 2018

Yup. I think so. I'm beginning to see why this Langer might be a terrible idea,

In fairness to him, he never quite stooped to the Renegades' level that saw Jon Holland played as a specialist fielder.

Sean Marsh, two tons at number 3 this series - better give slugger Stoinis a go there and move him to 4.

It’s the one thing that’s working ffs.

In fairness after the start i can understand it and sending in someone to keep it going knowing you have the form man to come. If Stoinis had hit 40 off 25 then we would all say it was a genius decision.

 

[Starfighter]

Also notice that Carey has come in. I bet that has nothing to with Short's shiteness against spin.

 

[Starfighter]

Even worse.

 

[morgieb]

Would put Head in the middle order and open with Short. He's simply not good enough against spin to work.

 

[Starfighter]

Oh my God, Paine's put himself in

 

[morgieb]

Different formats and country admittedly but I can't believe Moeen went from averaging 100 to looking like a superstar against the same team in a period of six months.

 

[Borges]

They are still trying to hide D'Arcy short; he needs to prove that all his critics were wrong.

 

[Starfighter]

This has gotta be our worst effort at playing spin in England since 1956.

 

[Gnske]

I'm so glad I don't have to watch this

 

[91Jmay]

LOL aussie

 

[flibbertyjibber]

haha perfect

 

[Starfighter]

Shouldn't have even gone upstairs.

 

[Starfighter]

At least Short is finally in.

I understand that Boris Johnson has just announced we get the Ashes back if we win 5-0 - if true it's that's the first good idea he's ever had

He'd say play off in whiff waff

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic

 

[Spikey]

cant believe the changes to the batting order didn't work

Was working so well up to then though at 4-0 wasn't it.

Even as a stop-gap, can Paine as ODI captain be justified for another series? As a batsman has shown zero capability he’s a viable option by 2018 standards and at a team level this is looking like Oz’s worst bilateral ODI series ever.
