***Official*** Australia in Ireland and England 2015 (limited overs)

[GIMH]

Uh, you still expect the umpire to do his job. "They wasted their reviews so if the umpire makes a bad decision it's their fault" is bizarre logic.

Nah. Was still a shocking decision but there's a mechanism in place to overcome shocking decisions. All teams gamble with reviews, use them on marginal lbws that won't be overturned. If they are going to do that then it's hard to have much sympathy when a howler happens.

Brisbane 2010, Anderson trapped Hussey front and centre. Was as plumb as anything. Inexplicably not given and we had wasted our reviews - I was angrier about that than the original call from Dar.

Love how the keeper's **** up is described as edging to slip. Almost as if someone wants to make things sound worse than they were.

no ****

technically it was edged. And it did go to slip.

 

[Energetic]

Its best if England plays teams currently ranked around them rather than wasting the undisputed world #1s time. That's 7 ODIs in a row lost to them now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

England have been pounded twice by an Australian team missing 6 players from their WC winning lineup

Would've thought that was of more pressing concern than the Stokes dismissal

I think you will find that having won the main event none of us actually care about the hit and giggle and odi's. We don't mind you winning this series, gives you something to smile about as you lick your wounds after getting stuffed in the ashes.

Yeah! and when England tours Australia the Ashes are pretty much swapped over but the difference is that Australia thrashes England 5-0 at home whereas England cannot at home. 5-0 is obviously 100x better than 3-2.

No. Getting stuffed would be losing 5-0.

Classic logic.

 

[TheJediBrah]

So apparently Watson sustained a calf injury in the 2nd game.

With him and Warner out do Aus even have enough batsmen on tour to pick a decent team?

(assuming watson misses games, maybe he won't)

Arent they playing for England, so just writing off these loses is a bit strange. Although i suppose when my team loses i non-chalantly pretend that format doesnt matter ....

And as TheJediBrah says 5 - 0 is getting stuffed not 3 - 2

i saw finch is back for yorkshrine. i guess they'll call him in.


which has no impact on whether a decent team is fielded

3-1 and then we didn't turn up.

I always say the same about the ODI's have for years. They would be better served as an appetiser before the test series instead of as an afterthought when the main event is over and nobody cares about them.

 

[ajdude]

heh i don't even care that much either way about what happened but this got a laugh out of me

Klinger?

 

[weldone]

Is there any news on whether Watson will play the 3rd match?

 

[burr]

I'm not a Finch fan, I think he's average. Been pleasing this series in terms of seeing the depth of the Aussie ODI squad. Even bigger test of that depth now the two Ws are out.

 

[ajdude]

Hastings and Handscomb called up for NCN #vicsdoitbetter

 

[Pothas]

Things this series have shown us: Joe Root is really important.

Why is Willey not playing? This makes no sense to me at all.

Yes, interested to see Willey. And, if at all he comes for Finn, the team bats till 11. That's awesome.

that cheating **** is now claiming that as a catch!?
