nah, it only takes 48 hours to get there and there’s days between gamesI think it's genuinely too late to fly people in tbh, they'd need time to acclimatise and by the time they do the tournament might well be over, before which point they'd more likely than not be a liability.
They should play Sabba instead of Stoinis. He's a better bowler and nothing Stoinis has done in years makes him a better ODI bat at no. 7 than Abbott either.They'll replace with Green and Stoinis IMO, it's not yet safe to experiment and they seem happy with the bowlers (even though Starc has been godawful)
Oh no! Whatever will they do against that leviathan of an outfit??????it would put them under huge pressure vs Afg.
Still needs a few more years in domestic cricketFly in Shaun
They were involvedWhat if the Conspiracy theory is correct?View attachment 37924
By acclimatise I mean acclimatise to playing in Indian conditions. It'd take most players a few games to fully get up to speed.nah, it only takes 48 hours to get there and there’s days between games
yeah there’s absolutely no use bringing some guy that isn’t experienced. Can’t even think of who they’d bringBy acclimatise I mean acclimatise to playing in Indian conditions. It'd take most players a few games to fully get up to speed.
The bizarre thing is that absolutely no one was going around during previous tournaments saying "you know, I just think that 17 man squads are too big". They 'fixed' a problem that only they perceived and created a far bigger one in the process.15 player squads are ridiculous for such a long tournament! ICC needs to fix this going forward.
As for Marsh, he might not be back for Afg game either so if Aus were to lose vs Eng, it would put them under huge pressure vs Afg.
Watto & Haydos are right thereyeah there’s absolutely no use bringing some guy that isn’t experienced. Can’t even think of who they’d bring
they've never been 17 man squads?The bizarre thing is that absolutely no one was going around during previous tournaments saying "you know, I just think that 17 man squads are too big". They 'fixed' a problem that only they perceived and created a far bigger one in the process.
As are Finch and Punter - there's a useful batting order in that Comms Box.Watto & Haydos are right there
Slight over-reaction. Australia have lost Marsh and Maxwell, England have lost the plot.Would require massive effort to beat even England now
Well, this format has been there only from 2019 but yeah, it was always obvious you needed 18 member squads when the format guarantees 9 games a side and that too within a month or whatever the time is.The bizarre thing is that absolutely no one was going around during previous tournaments saying "you know, I just think that 17 man squads are too big".
