Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

[Burgey]

Josh Little is a much better bowler than Starc

Unfortunately Maxwell is a much worse batsman than Josh Little. Should be dumped. Finch is keeping all the attention away from how terrible he's been for ages.

I've been on the drop Maxwell train for about a month. Took me a lot longer than it should have to realise what a waste he is.

 

[Burgey]

Maxwell = Wasteman. Official

So sick of the "He has the X factor" bullshit. Make runs, ****.

His X factor is finding increasingly stupid ways to **** the bed and get out.

 

[trundler]

Very good. Do they have bosu balls in Pakistan? Thought they'd be too practical

There's morons everywhere.

Go on, Little. What a player.

 

[Zinzan]

Still an outside chance of 200 for Australia needing just over 14s in the last 8.

Put me down for 190

 

[trundler]

Miller turned it around this year after coasting on reputation for like 5 years so maybe there's still time for Maxi but god, he's annoying.

 

[Burgey]

Cameraman doing a decent job there.

I can't see it. Maxwell has literally not improved a millimetre since he made his debut. He's probably actually gotten worse. At the age when most batsmen start figuring things out and peaking he's still obsessed with switch hitting everything

 

[Athlai]

What a skyline. Gem of a city

 

[TheJediBrah]

**** look at that bench for Aus. Smith, Green, Agar should be 3 of the first 5 players picked for this team

 

[Fuller Pilch]

How much better are this generation (or last gen of players) for Aussie commentators BTW?

Am really impressed with Shane Watson as a commentator.

Yeah Watto goes alright as long as India aren't playing.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah Watto goes alright as long as India aren't playing.

Does he attempt to fellate the BCCI for money?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Why bowling half-volleys with no long-off

 

[Burgey]

What a great piece of fielding

 

[Athlai]

Not worth it mate

 

[TheJediBrah]

That's impressive

 

[Prince EWS]

Does he attempt to fellate the BCCI for money?

Yeah pretty much. He's a good commentator but he's cringeworthy about India, especially their bigger name players. It's probably smart to know where your bread is going to be buttered as an inexperienced commentator but it doesn't make for good listening.

 

[Starfighter]

That's ridiculous. Shame he couldn't get it to the other bloke.
