    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    It's not even close either. There are probably 50+ spinners in India better than Lyon

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

    In my (limited) viewing Abbott takes a lot of wickets but it's usually because he's getting smashed and the batsmen get themselves out

    Good news for India tbh. The more bowlers injured the better India tend to do in Australia

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    I think it was both tbh. Wasn't good enough to really earn a place, so walked away

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Nah fast and bouncy doesn't need to mean seam-friendly If Aus were to prepare wickets for the best chance of winning they should be going for hard, fast, bouncy, flat wickets. A green seamer just hurts their batsmen as much as it does India's. Typical Perth wickets from the 90s/00s could be...

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    I've been calling for Starc and Lyon to be dropped since like 2014 I will be vindicated one day

    Advancement in bat technology

    I guess but the bats are only 1 factor in a very rich tapestry of changes in the game I would in say in white ball cricket it is a huge factor and it should absolutely get considered when judging modern bowlers (and batsmen) compared to older ones

    Advancement in bat technology

    Reckon this is the biggest difference. Back in the day you had to hit the ball perfectly in the middle to go the distance. These days nearly the whole bat is middle and mis-hit 6s are common

    Wonder if it's a coincidence it happens when Cummins is away hmmmm

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

    In fairness Aus did use 8 bowlers last game Marnus and Head took hauls this series which is like Plan G

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

    Reckon there are at least 30 to 40 bowlers ahead of Beardman. That's a conservative estimate. Likewise don't think Dwarshuis would be in the top 10 after Starc/Cummins/Haze If we had to pick a World Cup squad without those 3 my choices would be Bartlett, Ellis, Johnson, Richardson and Neser as...

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

    Tbf a lot of them actually are injured. Bartlett, Ellis, Meredith and I think Spencer Johnson. But behrendorff, Neser, Lance morris and jhye Richardson all seem to be playing. Then there are still plenty of others who would be ahead of the likes of Dwarshuis who was in the squad like Sutherland...

    Which is bigger - The Ashes or BGT?

    Also ironic considering the only Tests England generally managed to win on those 90s/early00s series tended to be dead rubbers Is there even a (real) stat that shows a higher percentage of Australia's wins are dead rubbers compared to England's?
  18. TheJediBrah

    Highest debut score to not be selected.

    England probably trying to do a Jofra and poach him and convinced him to make himself unavailable for Scotland. It's the only way they stay somewhat competitive tbf

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

    Definitely not wrong about quicks being fragile but other than Abbott we didn't really see Australia's pace back up this series though, did we? They played Hardie as a bowler for some reason (guess he did ok) and relied on a lot of overs from all rounders like Green. They're mostly in Australia...

    Use the opportunity to drop Lyon and play 4 quicks + part-time spinners, and actually prepare hard bouncy pace-friendly wickets for once
