*Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

Dammit, I really thought Adil was going to see us home.
Got to love a review that shows the ball hitting middle stump.

Probably better than getting another 30 and me believing we’d get over the line

Anyway, only 69 needed now, so fair enough about Carey.

Do you know if they did it when any other teams toured? The only time they did it against England was the 1994/95 season that I posted.

No that was the only time they tried that and like I said it backfired when Aussie crowds were barracking for the Australia A team instead of Australia.

Australia A had a batting line up that was arguably better than Australia's batting line up then with batsmen like Hayden, Langer. Ponting and Martyn.

 

[GIMH]

Lower order have done fairly well in fairness. But when you’re **** all for 5 then you need better than fairly well

Jos a big miss in this side.

It's not over yet ..Stone and Potts can bat

Nevermind

 

[Heboric]

Nice comical way to end, giving us a laugh

 

[King Kane]

Not great batting from Stone but the English top order batsmen were more to blame, for that loss, only Duckett and Smith stood up to be counted.

Duckett got a pretty little 30 then got out, would hardly call that standing up! Smith got to 49, perhaps got out cheaply, but by then he was batting with the tail and maybe thought he needed to get things done sooner rather than later to give England any chance

 

[Pup Clarke]

Brook just doesn't give me captaincy vibes sorry. Maybe they're trying to groom him like Markram, where's he's thrown in as an interim with a few to a permanent gig in a few years.

Don't know though

Australia A had a batting line up that was arguably better than Australia's batting line up then with batsmen like Hayden, Langer. Ponting and Martyn.

And Australia cheated by picking Australia A best bowler Paul Reiffel just so they could make him 12th man in the finals and not have to face him

 

[Pup Clarke]

And I know this aint going to happen, but honestly Liam Dawson would be such a valuable asset for this team

Different role from Livingstone, but think he'd be an excellent foil to Rashid with the ball and as a more than useful no.8 with the bat

Everytime you turn on tv and any type of match in England and Australia (esp England), the gallery seems to be full where as in Sub continent (supposedly cricket being more popular there), you see empty stands.

Our grounds are faar bigger than the English ones, for starters.

Hardie looks like one of Hardy boyz

Matt or Jeff?

Yeah I think the average Indian ground is almost double the capacity of Lords tbh, which is the biggest cricket ground in England.

I thought The Oval was bigger

Oh maybe, I thought it was a few thousand less these days.

Australia and Australia A which was their next best ODI team, they ended up playing against each other in the finals of that ODI series.

They did it because they didn't think England or Zimbabwe would be competitive enough but it backfired when people supported the Australia A team.

They also switched over the main bowler from the A side to the main side before the finals. Else they would have lost to Australia A for sure.
