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

[Spark]

Apparently Australia are on a 14 game ODI winning streak? The second longest ever after 21 in 2003.

That's snuck under the radar a bit hasn't it. Shows how little people care about non World Cup ODIs now

Tbf I think most of that is the WC, then those three incredibly facile WI games in the summer and then this series now.

 

[FBU]

If there is play the only change must be Archer coming back. So Topley, Mahmood and Turner warming the benches.

 

[Burgey]

Just resting Travis Head in a live game to openly express the contempt in which Australia holds its opponents.

 

[Qlder]

And Marsh goes 0-3 on the toss

Zampa ill so makes you wonder why no back-up spinner in an 18 man squad. Up to Maxwell, Short and Labuschagne

I would assume so

I actually care about this ODI series since it's preparation for Champions Trophy early next year plus some of our main players like Smith, Starc, Hazlewood are playing

When neither side plays their best available XI it really contributes to the sense of It being a series of exhibition games. I know I should ignore it however I just can’t help myself. Perhaps this is the problem - administrators know that people will watch regardless.

Why havent aus tried jake freser in odis yet

 

[Burgey]

Mate he was probably fortunate to make the T20 side, though if he is going to play that has to be the only format atm.

This is virtually all ODI cricket for the last 5-10 years

Australia is only missing a resting Cummins from their best XI. All other changes this series have been illness/injuries (they're saying Head is sore, Zampa is sick and Inglis injured)

I read ‘sore’ as being a euphemism for rest and/or rotation.

 

[Burgey]

Matt Short is one of those players who looks like he should be pushing for selection in all formats, bbut his FC record is middling tstl.

 

[Spark]

Naive batting

 

[Burgey]

I still think Archer is more likely to nick Marsh and Smith off bowling corridor than he is getting them out tickling the ribs.

 

[Burgey]

This deck is looking decidely two paced when it's banged in. Guys getting gloved one ball then beaten by lack of pace the next.

Typical Durham junk.

[Gnske]

Great innings from Short, hit his ceiling. Clearly an opener at this level.

 

[Spark]

That's another quite straight ball he's missed by some distance...

Got lucky there.

Good stuff from Carse
