England tour of Australia ODIs

@SillyCowCorner1 22/2 33/3 it's raining symmetry here

 

[Burgey]

Renowned Penrith wicket keeper-batsman Sam Billings comes to the crease.

Great start by our genuine third seamer here.

Malan needed a broomstick to hit that free hit

I mean if you're picking 2 specialist spinners you can't expect 3 world-class fast bowlers as well, be reasonable

 

[Burgey]

You can if you pick Dermo Sabba Abbott ffs

I rate abbott but he's not an international #7.

 

[TheJediBrah]

So you have one of Agar/Abbott at 7 and the other at 8, nah fam

This is actually 1 bowler more than we had against NZ (or was it Zim?), Green was batting 8 remember

 

[Burgey]

I've always liked Malan. He somehow seems like a good bloke and far less English than so many of his team mates for some reason.

That's plenty in an ODI ffs. If they're called on to do much there then there's been a huge **** up. Green is wasted at seven. bat him in the top six somewhere and drop Spuduschagne.

Not a fan of agar being our second choice ODI spinner tbh. Depth in that area is lacking.

You can say the same thing of maxwell at #7, tbh. That extra batsmen is a big part of our recent success in the format.

Quality white ball player, surprised he never really made it at test level.

Literally our last ODI series, against NZ, we were 5-down in the powerplay twice and the deep batting order saved us

I think he's a very good white-ball bowler, don't mind him being there at all

There's no reason you can't have all of Maxwell, Green, Abbott, MMarsh and Agar (if you want a second spinner). Stacking the bowling is the way forward because these days someone always seems to cop a belting. Having that many options is gold.

Head
Warner
Smith
MMarsh
Green
Maxwell
Abbott
Agar
Starc
Cummins/ Haze
Turtle

is a stacked side. Eight bowling options and plenty of batting.

Bring in Todd Murphy

I don't want Maxwell keeping tbh

You can't take ODIs in September in Aus as being representative of what cricket is usually like. It's footy season.

There's no reason stacking a side with allrounders won't work in the ODI set up. .

Good point. Give Warner the gloves!

If not, Head/ Warner out, Carey or Phillipe to open.
