***Official*** West Indies tour of Australia, Jan–Feb 2024

[quincywagstaff]

Impressive effort by Forde to have his two overs be worse than the WI batting was.

 

[Burgey]

Is this the most one sided ODI ever between two established nations?

TBH this was the sort of level I was kind of expecting in the test series, so as bad as this is, I'll take it over having two really one sided test matches.

It's both even the most one-sided ODI between these two sides in Oz this century.

At the WACA in 12/13, WI were bowled out for a lower score and Oz chased down the target for only one wicket.

Mind you, that WI side had the excuse that Starc was at his unplayable best that match.

 

[Spark]

That's a hall of infamy game right there. One of the very worst.

 

[Burgey]

Is that Clint McKay there in the Aus set up as an assistant coach or something?

Yeah wasn't that just unplayable inswing on that occasion? Fair cry from whatever that was out there today, they've been demolished trying to slog Australia's 3rd choice attack out of the ground and missing pretty much every time.

It's the fifth shortest ODI against two full-member nations. Two were Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe, one was a match between England and India in the 1980's that was reduced to 15 overs a side (so shouldn't count) and the other was the Asia Cup final a couple of months back.

I only just got home and the game's already over. What the ****.

 

[Starfighter]

I want my money back

Also, this was an even shorter chase than when Oz played USA at the 2004 Champions Trophy; iirc Ponting said that match was a waste of time.

Don't think there's been a more devastating ODI new-ball bowler than Starc in that 2012-15 period.

Cancelled his Ashley and Martin appointment for it I believe

Almost cost him dearly

I'm back in Canberra for a few weeks for work and I was thinking about popping down to catch the second innings. That thought lasted, oh, about ten overs.

The West Indies should forfeit their match payments to refund anyone who had tickets to that. Getting through less than a third of the alloted overs before a result was reached is unforgiveable.

 

[Burgey]

lol they turned the floodlights on. Why ffs?

 

[Spikey]

but is it as one-sided as the Australia A vs Sri Lanka game from 2003

 

[Aidan11]

Just seen the scorecard. What a thumping. I had to double check as at first I thought it was a T20 not an ODI.

I felt sorry for the food vendors who've paid a massive fee to be there, but I felt so ripped off myself that I didn't buy anything unlike what I was going to do.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Might try to catch the 2nd half of the game tonight, when does the second innings start?

 

[WICFan]

Hope averages 60 as an opener. Also, this Ottley fellow debuted 15 years ago. What's the point?

Haynes wants everyone to believe that they're building for the next World Cup.

They've been using that line for at least 10 years now.

 

[Nintendo]

Just looking at some stats after this game, and green's home away split in ODI is pretty funny (Small sample, tbf). Averages 90 with the bat and 19 with the ball at home, while he averages 25 with the bat and 80 with the ball away.
