"We're looking forward to it. They've probably been the form side in white-ball cricket for a long time. We love playing them and it'll be an entertaining game."- Aaron Finch

England and Australia are two of the oldest sides in the Super 12s: Tom Curran (26) is the youngest player in either squad, while Liam Livingstone (28) is the youngest to have made an appearance so far.

Is this for real???

 

[Aritro]

Saffers and Sri Lankans are the least represented on here out of major sides. Threadless wonders.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

England chose to field


No Mitch Marsh
Instead, it's Ashton Agar who replaces him.

I was gonna make a thread last night, but got too tired and retired to bed...

i mean, i obviously prefer a bowler in place of one of the two seam all-rounders, but I'm not quite sure why they've made the call

Think it makes sense. It hasn't cost them so far, but the fifth bowler has been a problem for Oz.

Agar a definite upgrade on Stoinis/Maxwell/Marsh as the fifth option.

Yeaah, the bowling is stronger now with the 5 full time bowlers

That's not really that surprising is it?

Cricket tends to be a game where sides are more experienced.

Would be mental in football if that was the youngest player in an England side.

Have you not learned anything from CSK? Evidently, these two teams have.

Woakes with that one hand bucket catch

And yet the formula doesn't work too much for our old guns

I agree, wholeheartedly

 

[theegyptian]

3 games for Jordan and each time he's started with a wide long hop. Lol.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So Warner's not really in form?

 

[Spikey]

in the space of 3 games, Aus went from "Smith will be a floater" implying that as a whole the batting line-up will respond to the match situation to stubbornly sticking with Maxwell at 4 after 2 early wickets.

I don't even mind Maxwell being at 4, but the pivot seems odd.

 

[Howe_zat]

I had that missing leg

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That **** looks plumb af
