*Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hasn't he just bowled superbly

Yes, he put them under pressure with his long-hops

 

[Spark]

Can't be often that we've seen an innings with spin exclusively from about over 35 onwards.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's that kid again, Cooper, with a brilliant save at long on off

 

[grecian]

Has anyone mentioned Adil has multiple first-class100s?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

When was the last time that leg spin has accounted for 6 wickets for an Aussie bowling outfit?

 

[King Kane]

I’d expect nothing less.

England haven’t been the same side in either white ball format since 2019.

Been all about slogging as much as possible and struggling if the top 3 don’t bat most of the innings. We only won the 2022 T20 cos off stokes holding the innings together against Sri Lanka and then the final against Pakistan

The complete move away from Joe Root definitely has been a mistake. We then just excpected him to rock up at the 50 over and rediscover how to play the format.

Players these days play more T20 cricket than one day cricket and it shows, they just try to slog straight away rather than trying to build an innings.

Not sure this was a good idea tstl

Really good death bowling from Head.

 

[Qlder]

Okay who guessed 3 of Australia's batsmen would bowl 21 overs of spin for 6 wickets

Great job by Labuschagne, Short and Head

 

[Gremlin]

England are going to have to bowl exceptionally well or bowl pies and let the Aussies tap them to the fielders.

Spark with the double breakthrough

 

[Nintendo]

England's issue is they don't have anyone who can safely manipulate the middle overs anymore. Stokes, root and morgan could all knock singles with the occasional boundary in the middle and capitalize on a fast start from the openers before going crazy at the death. Livingstone can't do that, smith can't, brook can't. All of these guys are realistically one or two spots too high in the batting order. Same issue last WC.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

315 seems a bit meh considering where we were.

We will see but I think we left a good 50 or so out there.

 

[King Kane]

Really good death bowling from Head.

Even better death batting from England, they threw away a score of at least 350 and didn't even bat out their 50 overs.

315 is still a decent score but it may not be enough against against an Aussie batting line up that can bat hard and deep.

We just play the sort of cricket that looks brilliant when it comes off but plain daft when it doesn't.

They do , they just don't want to play them ..

Guys like Sam Hain , Du Plooy , Ed Barnard for example

Yes england need to find successor to root

Yep definitely the case.

We have Sam Hain but they continually overlook him. He scored 89 last year against Ireland when they finally gave him a chance.

Wonder if someone in the ECB is superstitous over this Samhain - Wikipedia

As he had the highest list A average ever. Currently third in the list
