Just played some backyard cricket with my kids. Was watching the ball well. Am a decent bloke. Reckon I should get a call up from Langer soon.

Great session. Keep going Chepu you legend. A 300 would be sweet.

What Pujara going to have for lunch?

Hope you didn't score more than 40 then.

Made a pretty 30 with a lot of #intent. Got my #timeinthemiddle in the process. I'm also a good young man in my mid 30s. Pretty much perfect for the Langer regime honestly.

And I bowl a few handy leggies as well.

Is your last name Marsh?

 

[cnerd123]

what part don't you get?

The suggestion was that a noise as the ball passes the bat (eg. clicky handle) wouldn't show up on snicko.
I thought that was strange, hence questioned it.

you think they zoom into the bat and ball and only collect sound that emits from that moment?

No that would be ridiculous

In related news, Aus have just announced the ODI squad for India and there are bulk changes. Short, Lynn, Head, Coulter-Nile, Agar all dropped.

The team will likely feature both Marshes in key positions (Mitch as VC).

Khawaja also recalled.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Apparently Siddle's back in the ODI team. REALLY didn't see that one coming

 

[Spikey]

I said WTF like 6 times when viewing that squad

 

[cnerd123]

Squad: Aaron Finch (c), Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell, Marcu Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Jhye Richardson, Billy Stanlake, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Siddle, Nathan Lyon, Adam Zampa.

I mean, it's not a terrible squad. Marshs aside. And Siddle lol wtf.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pant consistently getting 30-35 has been useful, albeit annoying that he hasn't gone on to a decent score yet.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oh yeah Siddle was the other funny one. But I guess when you rest/drop the previous top 5-6 fast bowlers then anyone's a chance.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm hoping with that ODI squad that they go full batting-depth and use Maxwell/Stoinis/MMarsh as a 5th (or even 4th & 5th) bowler, with Carey or MMarsh at 8. But considering how many spare bowlers they have, and no spare batsmen, it's probably unlikely.

Knowing the selectors they'll probably pick 4 or 5 specialist bowlers, and all the all-rounders, and we'll have a middle order of MMarsh, Maxwell and Stoinis @ 4, 5 & 6.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pant consistently getting 30-35 has been useful, albeit annoying that he hasn't gone on to a decent score yet.

More useful than initially apparent. He'll mature gradually. People need to cut him some slack.

Damn. I knew there was something wrong.

 

[cnerd123]

Not a good stat/fact for this series. Aust’s quicks have bowled 2592 balls & only 205 balls would have gone on to hit the stumps. India have 8 LBW’s (Bumrah has 6), Aust 1 (Lyon has the 1), yep that means not one LBW for Aust’s quicks. So not just the batting that’s struggling

As to there's squad the only two wtfs are Siddle and the lack of Wade over Carey.
