*Official* Australia v England post-Ashes ODI series

[stephen]

How utterly dire.

 

[ajdude]

hahahahahaha finch!

 

[TheJediBrah]

I'm surprised Head made as many as he did.

Lol @ this Aussie team. It's like if NZ picked Chris Martin to bat at no.4 ahead of Williamson, Taylor, McCullum and Astle

 

[Spark]

It's just impossible to believe this will be the top six in 18 months time which surely would be the main consideration right now

 

[Cabinet96]

How has Root bowled 16 dot balls in four overs.

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's just impossible to believe this will be the top six in 18 months time which surely would be the main consideration right now

I think it pretty much will be with one exception

 

[stephen]

Definitely if this is the batting lineup we have, then Stoinis needs to be elevated above Marsh. Marsh is the perfect #6/7 for us really and Stoinis has shown his ability to make big runs, so if we're going to have either batsman come in around the 20 over mark, surely we'd want it to be Stoinis, to save Marsh's firepower for later in the innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Well done Arun.

 

[Burgey]

Noted test opening aspirant Arun Finch with another well made ton.

Nevertheless, we're going to end up about 40-50 short of where we need to be again unless there's mass carnage int eh last ten.

 

[stephen]

That was a very soft stumping.

 

[Starfighter]

That's pretty bloody weak from MMarsh

Of course KP thinks it's wonderful

 

[Starfighter]

'At the Gabon'

Good to see KP knows his African geography.

 

[stephen]

What a momentum-killing mini-collapse. Are we absolutely sure they're not just replaying the previous match?

 

[Jarquis]

Well they were some timely wickets, heading into the last 10.

Seems a bit of a waste to have recalled White just to bat at 7

 

[Starfighter]

This is not good. Actually, it's quite bad.

 

[Jarquis]

That’s well bowled

 

[Burgey]

Stoinis gone now too. This batting order is so wrong it isn’t funny any more.

 

[Burgey]

How does Carey bat eight here? Fmd it’s brainless.

 

[stephen]

We likely won't get to 300 from here. This has been terrible batting outside Finch and Warner. Marsh scored a few runs but he really needed to hang around.

 

[Burgey]

He really needed to get on with it.
