**Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

[honestbharani]

yeah but dropping a semi doesn't mean you aren't one of the best teams.

left out bringing up ranking points too.

dropping a qf is worse though..

 

[Sylvester]

Hopefully this is Warner's breakout series, he really doesn't have to change his game at all, his test innings would more than suffice!

Australia lost in the quarters

 

[uvelocity]

Debating whether to say I did that on purpose to see if anyone noticed.

PM 11

Brad Haddin (Captain) NSW

Peter Forrest (VC) QLD

Wes Robinson WA

Mitchell Marsh WA

Adam Voges WA

Kurtis Patterson NSW

Dean Solway ACT

Nathan Coulter-Nile WA

Ben Cutting QLD

Michael Nesser QLD

Nathan Lyon SA

Aaron Ayre (12th man) ACT

McDermott either unlucky or getting a well deserved T20I debut.

 

[Spikey]

don't get the Wes Robinson selection. if we're gonna pick 30yo openers miles away from aus selection let's pick jaques. the rest is fine

 

[benchmark00]

KP!

Should be more blue bois in there though, no doubt about it.

 

[Spikey]

luke doran over lyon obviously.

 

[Sylvester]

Would have thought Quiney and Cooper could have been in there over Robinson and Voges.

 

[Spikey]

**** cooper. we don't need him making anymore junk runs in canberra

 

[Lostman]

SL squad.

Sri Lanka squad: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Angelo Mathews (vice-capt), Upul Tharanga, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Dinesh Chandimal (wk), Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Farveez Maharoof, Rangana Herath, Sachithra Senanayake, Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Kulasekera, Chanaka Welegedara, Dhammika Prasad

Would have liked to see Randiv in it, or even Bhanuka Rajapakshe, but still a decent squad.
Good to see Maharoof get another chance for ODI's, the guy was dropped based on tests when he is no where near test standards.
Need to get a rid of Kulasekera as the opening bowler, never gets an opening wicket even with two new balls.

 

[Nishan]

I am not sure why MCG doesnt have India v Sri Lanka game.. we would have had 40,000 crowd compared to hobart

 

[Turbinator]

Time for some R E V E N G E

 

[Spikey]

shouldn't you change your sig to 8-0

 

[Turbinator]

shouldn't you change your sig to 8-0

Depends. How many ODIs are we playing against your lot here? 8 seems a little high.

 

[uvelocity]

ahhhh the butthurt will be amusing.

All our t20 boys have had a fair bit of practice, tipping 2-0 here. ODI's can't see us losing one either. NZ to have the only win here this season.

 

[Spark]

Maybe "not losing any" is a bit far, but yeah we're pretty strong favourites for this.

 

[uvelocity]

Just putting it out there

 

[Daemon]

Yeah I hate how the general Indian public is assuming we're going to win this.

 

[Migara]

Is this going to be another thrashing?
