*Official* Australia in India 2023

[the big bambino]

Pity Smitty.

 

[Burgey]

He’s barely played iirc and has really bad numbers when he has

It’s crazy how little ODI cricket they play these days. They just showed Smith’s stats - he’s been around ages and only played ten games vs SL in his career

 

[social]

Why would you put Carey in if they’re actually trying to win the game?

 

[slippy888]

What happen to the bowling today, we not chasing down 400 here without the phenomenon Gill

 

[slippy888]

I don't understand Marsh shot at all

 

[Silver Silva]

I don't understand Marsh shot at all

He was struggling with the heat so he tried to get as many runs as he could as he wasn't planning on staying till the end.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Now this is the kind of situation where Marnus at 4 is pointless

 

[Shri]

why is bumrah always celebrating wickets with tired face emoji since comeback

 

[slippy888]

Is kholi gonna open the batting

 

[Andyhere]

Is kholi gonna open the batting

Looks like it. Rahul has experience opening, however he has been given middle order role, so wouldn't want to alter that. Plus Rahul was a terrible opener, have been decent so far in the middle.

 

[Shri]

will laugh if starc ****s our batting later

 

[Spikey]

wow mark waugh just actually questioned whether australia needs all the all-rounders.

he's wrong u need 8 all-rounders in a team

He's doing his job , Australia's "big hitters" have flattered to deceive , same thing happened in South Africa ..Good foundation from top order then absolutely nothing from middle order ..

Carey , Maxwell and Green
25/3 in 39 deliveries

Or, you could look at it in a way such that the "big hitters" had to go harder and got out to make up for him holding up the other end

You do need a back up for Green , Mitchell Marsh seems reluctant to bowl these days.

 

[centurymaker]

Would be surprising if Labuschagne doesn't replace Head in the wc squad.

yeah but that's not what actually happened though other than maybe green. they just failed to get going and/or execute. like Carey was 2 off 10 with Marnus having only faced 2 balls in the partnership at that point. that's on carey

 

[Shri]

labu in 2023 has 400 runs at avg 66 and strike rate of 96. not in aus wc squad lmao

 

[Silver Silva]

Or, you could look at it in a way such that the "big hitters" had to go harder and got out to make up for him holding up the other end

He's going at a SR of 118 , his SR has never dipped below 100 in this innings ..if anything it's Labuschagne that has had to go harder , the big hitters have just flopped in this innings. If someone is playing well we should give credit where it's due

 

[slippy888]

Labu most be having mixed feelings out there like he not wanted
