****Official Australia in England 2020 (Non-Ashes)*****

[Magrat Garlick]

Do Australia really need to play two spinners?

 

[trundler]

Agar is low-key gun and has impressed with the ball this series. The lesser Richardson and Stoinis are hacks and should be done away with.

He batted well last game and was a big part of Australia putting up a score of note in the 2nd game too.

Agar offers more than Zampa, yes.

Yeah he would get a good post-series mark. I'm just unsure if he can score quickly enough to ram the advantage home.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Not impressed with Marsh. Should have been caught at slip twice to part-time leggies' stock balls. Pretty ordinary tbh

 

[Spikey]

man, what the hell is that team australia picked.

Simply giving ODI players Wade, Hazlewood and Marsh some warm up so we can beat Eng 3-0

Right, wrong, right

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Morgan and Roy are both fit for England. The weather looks surprisingly okay as well.

Wonder if Malan gets a gig? Banton didn't exactly set the world alight, but does have youth on his side.

Malan is in the 'reserves' part of the squad I think. He should be in ahead of Banton and Billings, but most likely none will play as they'll want Moeen Ali down the order and a seam bowling allrounder in Stokes' spot.

My guess is: Roy, Bairstow, Root, Morgan, Buttler, Ali, Woakes, T Curran, Archer, Rashid, Wood

They might rotate a few out in which case Malan will have been really hard done to.

 

[Nintendo]

Stoinos playing over Smith because he copped a bouncer to the head at practice, not good.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

England have the World Cup Final team save for Billings and Ali in place of Stokes and Plunkett.

marcus stoinis batting 3 lmao

 

[MW1304]

Top order typically a better place for him no?

 

[aussie tragic]

Interested to see how Carey plays given his dropping from last T20 and Gilly just stated Phillipe should play over him.

 

[Spark]

Top order typically a better place for him no?

oh yeah definitely, but mostly because he's borderline useless for 9 out of 10 innings when he has to hit out from ball one, which is often when he bats 6. but in no way is he good enough to be a top three batsman for australia.

which is a roundabout way of saying: marcus stoinis batting 3 lmao

 

[morgieb]

Is there fake crowd noise or?

For some reason I always view him as this youngish guy with loads of potential, who could be a pretty good top order replacement in the long term, but just hasn't had a long enough run in the side to provide any consistency.

Then I see he's 31.

 

[morgieb]

Warne + Lloyd is a terrible starting combo. Both seem to bring the worst out of each other.
