*Official* South Africa in Australia 2018

[stephen]

Works for England tbf, though their grounds are a lot smaller.

Guess where the WC is being played?

Lynn has showed nothing at International level (ODI or T20) to tell me he's in the same category as Roy or Hales and tbf that isn't exactly a high bar.

 

[aussie tragic]

Wow, Australia actually call up someone who has the domestic record to justify selection...Ben McDermott averages 50 in List A

 

[Starfighter]

He's just a cover for Darsh though, meanwhile Travis Head continues to be a waste of space.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Absolutely no way on the planet we should drop Travis Head right before Adelaide Oval

5-day gap massively excessive and to think this is only 3 ODIs and a T20

Truly silly.....

I was just about to comment on that. Although game 3 is soon after game 2

a series so diluted it could be labelled and sold in health food stores as homeopathy

It is still cricket, don't have to be so harsh....

 

[Gnske]

Australia has to wait five days to watch a top order of Finch, Head, Short and Lynn bat again between matches.

Maybe there is a god.

 

[StephenZA]

But we have to wait 5 days to watch Steyn and Rabada bowl again....

 

[Gnske]

But it's not even fair. Steyn, Ngidi and Rabada vs the Australian batting reminds me of senior year in high school when I watched two jocks slam this tiny eighth grade child into a bin arse first with such velocity that he was sticking upwards out of it at a 45 degree angle.

I know he's had them for a while, but I gotta say Tahir's blonde tips really don't suit a man of his age.

 

[TT Boy]

Indeed. The ODIs should be finishing up on Friday with the one-off 20/20 on Sunday, and the South Africans back on the plane come Monday. 2 ½ weeks tour for 4 and a bit days of cricket.

 

[TT Boy]

I know he's had them for a while, but I gotta say Tahir's blonde tips really don't suit a man of his age.

Wouldn’t look so bad if he still had a hairline.

 

[stephen]

Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc all rested from the t20s. Which means that the meme quartet should all play a round of shield together.

 

[Gomez656]

Good idea test player should fresh for Indian test series

Nov 17 team of Aus t20i vs SOA.


Australia's T20 squad vs SA : Aaron Finch (c), Alex Carey (vc), Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, Ben McDermott, D`Arcy Short, Billy Stanlake, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa

(Above team also plays 3 t20i vs India on Nov 21-Nov 23 & Nov 25,2018)

 

[Gomez656]

Did you know:



- Australia have a win % of 9.09 in 2018 - the worst ever for them in any calendar year. They have now lost their last seven ODIs which makes it their longest run of consecutive defeats in ODIs.



- Australia have won their last four ODIs in Adelaide. In fact, their only ODI win in 2018 came at this venue - by three wickets against England.



- South Africa have a 4-1 win-loss record in the five ODIs they played at the Adelaide Oval. A win in the second ODI would give them their seventh consecutive ODI win against Australia

 

[SeamUp]

What has cricket Australia decided with Stanlake. Limited overs specialist ? Not in this 50-over squad and not in the Queensland Shield side but T20 cricket will do it seems.
