What are you talking about here? They can't even beat Bangladesh at the moment.

Didn't they just win that series? We're talking ODIs, right?

That's three consecutive wicket maidens from that end. Let's call it Shami road end.

Marcus Stonis's highest score since the start of the pandemic (49) is lower than his bowling average (50.2)

I remember the days when Watson would get criticised for his performances in an Aussie shirt ..Australia would kill to have an all rounder like that now

Watson was basically never criticised for his white ball performances from about 2006 onwards

In ODIs? Whoever was criticising him in ODIs deserves a slap. The bloke would make our ATG XI.

Let's just say they lost the white ball series 4-2.

MMarsh should have been a near instant pick in every ODI team since Clarke retired
EDIT: That may be overstating it. But he's certainly an obviously better all round option than Stoinis

They only really took the ODI's seriously though, and that was without Bairstow, Root, Brook, Stokes, Livingstone. If they were to win the World Cup, they'd need to do it by pummelling teams with the batting because the bowling doesn't seem as good as before, notably the spinners who have regressed.

tf was that, so disappointing! I was really hoping for a close game and not this one-sided crap.

India's pace attack too much for Aussies , Siraj is a beast in the format 41 wickets in 20 odd games at a better bowling average than even Bumrah

Marsh, Stoinis and Green feels like at least 1 medium paced all rounder too many.

it's actually 2 too many, as I've been arguing since the 2019 WC.
batting depth is over-rated in white ball cricket. Your number 8 does not need to be capable of hitting 120. They need to be capable of bowling 10 overs. I'm making fun of Stonis but today's actual problem was no partnerships and no-one else making a score. ODI cricket is your top 5-6 making runs and the bowlers at 7-8-9 smashing it around for the 15 balls they face at the end of the innings
