*Official* Australia v England post-Ashes ODI series

[quincywagstaff]

I asked it after the 1st ODI and ask it again now: why is Cummins an automatic pick for the ODI side? His overall record is hardly impressive and while he bowled well early on as he showed in the closing overs he just doesn't have the smarts to be a consistently successful ODI bowler.

Fantastic effort by England to reach 300 considering Australia for the most part bowled very well with their 1st choice bowling attack and their ground fielding was excellent. Most sides would've wilted under the increased intensity Australia brought but instead in the final 10 overs the opposite occurred because of the talent and self-belief this England side have.

One thing we can assured of is Australia getting a serious fine for their over rates there; reckon they were close to 30 minutes overtime and it wasn't like there was a massive amount of delays today (apart from the self-inflicted plethora of wides).

[Burgey]

Yeah he is. Stress fracture again

Warner having an insipid series.

 

[Burgey]

Oh ffs white at three.

 

[Spikey]

[Stapel]

Oh ffs white at three.

As I want a proper contest, I’m hoping het gets out soon.

 

[Starfighter]

No way could Maxwell have done as well.

 

[Spikey]

gotta love cameron white he saved his worst shot for like 10 years for his ODI return

 

[Starfighter]

I'd think Plunkett being injured helps us, but considering the way we played Root last time maybe not.

 

[Stapel]

Whoever it was that taught KP how to speak........ I’ld like to punch that person in the face.

My tolerance for commentators is usually pretty high, but my goodness, Kevin Pietersen is the most irritating man on earth.

Smith defends a ball, and he shouts "WHERE IS THE INTENSITY, STEVE SMITH?"

The one thing both sets of supporters have been agreed on ever since England arrived in Australia

In 1788.

 

[Spikey]

hey burgey is the fire in balmain sorted out

Finch is having a hell of a series. Every century he makes tends to be a 105(115) type innings, looks like he's doing better this time.

Live I didn’t think that ball was going in the same postcode as the stumps.

 

[Stefan9]

This Aussie lineup looks very light on batting.

Funny. I was surprised it nealy missed the leg stump.
