***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

[Antihippy]

i dont remember any good deliveries

The woakes one was pretty decent. Even got a bit of a drift there.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well this is good preparation by us.

How bad are India though if we are beating them when we are so ordinary?

 

[GIMH]

Stuart Broad is a great bloke

 

[Spark]

well broad is keen on sticking around then

 

[Spark]

this is a lucky innings.

 

[Cabinet96]

Broad is a hero. Shame he can never do this stuff when it matters.

 

[Spikey]

as per MJ rules, that's out.

 

[Spark]

this really has been immensely inept

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well played Australia, given us a right thrashing.

Hope Faulkner isn't too badly hurt, be a sickener to miss a home world cup through injury so close to it starting.

 

[Antihippy]

You'd think they'd try to stick around a bit and see how it goes?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

So if Maxwell is inevitably going to get picked, where does he bat? Seems hard to fit him in the side along with Marsh if Watson and Faulkner are going to be in the team as well. Faulkner at 8 feels like a waste and Maxwell and Marsh at 5 and 6 feels fragile.

I guess if Faulkner is injured the problem kinda solves itself and Maxwell, Haddin and Marsh will end up batting 6-8.

 

[Antihippy]

Why would having marsh in the middle order feel fragile? His ODI batting has been pretty good.

 

[Spikey]

The obvious was to drop Mitch marsh (who in my opinion shouldn't've be in the squad). I don't think Faulkner's injury changes anything. Mitch Marsh at 8 would be ridiculous imo

Haddin should absolutely bat 8 if it's between those three. Marsh is the best bat of the lot IMO.

Per the CA constitution the wicket-keeper must open or bat at 7

 

[Spark]

johnson repaying some debts from the test series it seems

 

[grecian]

Gawd this has been a ****ing ****e sporting week-end.

Yeah, I still think there's plenty of better batsmen you could pick in Australia to bat in the middle order than Maxwell and Marsh though. I mean that's basically picking 4 specialist batsmen.

I rate Marsh very highly and I'm happy for him to get picked but I do think a team with four of Finch, Warner, Watson, Smith Clarke and Bailey at the top and then Maxwell, Marsh, Haddin, Faulkner is one batsman short.

I think Maxwell and Marsh are competing for one spot basically. Harsh on either of them after today though.

 

[Antihippy]

Bah gawd england.

At this point you might as well 'av a go.
