Travis Head can be trusted not to #playforamilestone

It's not a coping mechanism...actually no sorry in the time it took to write this, I admit it is

But my point remains that the beatings we've taken over the years don't reflect the match-ups in terms of XI v XI, they more reflect canary yellow v block

Don't waste your time talking to TJB about **** like that

 

[straw man]

Australia RR now below 9 - in absolute pieces

And I'll reiterate if it hasn't been said before Oz 2003 > Oz 2007 with arguably being the best ODI side ever.

Just on results those 03/07 Oz WC sides are worthy of that. When you factor in before 2003 they lost Warne and in 2007 Brett Lee it looks even more impressive.

Daily reminder that Head > Kohli.

What’s Latham’s approach here? Guess you need to accept the horse has long bolted and damage limitation is the key. Play on the ego of Aus and prise wickets out. Unfortunately for him Australia are unlikely to fall for it the way England did, and I don’t believe he’s quite the captain BMac or KW was/is when it comes to handling situations like this.

 

[TT Boy]

That's a name I haven't heard before

You could go down a rabbit hole with some of the cricketers New Zealand debuted during that period. I have no memory of the number four in this game, and I probably watched it.

Yeah it's cope because it's a mechanism to place blame somewhere other than the abilities of the team and/or not admit the other team is better

 

[TheJediBrah]

Dot ball?? Stop playing for a milestone you ****ing coward

 

[Gob]

Top knock

Never in doubt

 

[Burgey]

 

[Shri]

Nup, he isn't. I get the sense he's a very traditional, plan A guy.

 

[Athlai]

Lots of 100s this WC from blokes in their first WC game

 

[straw man]

well that's been quite ah destructive

 

[Neil Young]

Well played. Great innings.

The main reason I remember the no.4 (and Peter Ingram who played earlier in the series) is they were selected ahead of a young bloke called Kane Williamson who was averaging something like 60 in List A at the time. There was a mild uproar about that IIRC.

 

[straw man]

Do we have anyone else that can bowl part-time trash offspin?

 

[TheJediBrah]

5 centuries this WC in 63 balls or less lol

15 years ago that would have been a once every 5 years type of knock

 

[TT Boy]

Incredible innings and you suspect if this wasn't a WC Head isn't anywhere close to playing. Hand was broken only 5 weeks ago. Must still be in pain.
