Australia vs England: ODI Series; Jan 14-28, 2018 in Australia

[raja]

I didn't even know Roy had moved from South Africa to England at age 10.
But then I don't follow limited-overs cricket & its players much.
Roy seems to have been slotted into limited-overs only.

Seems like a very talented bloke - and he's just 27.

England could have a very potent ODI squad for the next World Cup.
And it's in home conditions, so every reason for them to start as favourites.
They need to ensure they don't dilute their squad with Test match players like Root and Broad.
Every batsman should be a guy with a potential 150+ SR, even if he settles at 120 depending on match situation.
If you don't even have the capacity to explode, what sort of limited-overs batsman are you?

Root might be OK though - his current career SR is 86, not bad.

England's bowling might need work though.

[Paddles]

Turn it up. Roy moved to UK aged nine.

Should have done my homework paddles. My point is so many of England's past players have learned their cricket in another country. Pietersen, Hick, Caddick, Malcolm, Robin Smith and Tony Grieg. No doubt there are plenty more. Their latest Keaton Jennings grew up in Joburg. There are also several Aussies..the latest two being Darren Pattinson and Sam Robson. In all there have been 66 foreign born players for England..

And? Its a popular country to migrate to. Great chances to make riches there and live a good life. Even better if you can miss their winters apparently.

[Boycs]

What's bad about the winters is it's soggy and raining rather than splendorous snow scenes that you'd get in other countries. It can make it not even worth having a winter

But I'm in the countryside so I'm okay:

[baggygreenmania]

Why is there five days between the first ODI and the second. Ludicrous!

[baggygreenmania]

Hearing from a friend that Liverpool is freezing with frost and biting Arctic winds. Your winters are bitterly cold and your summers are usually wet and coolish with constant overcast. You can have your climate Boycs.

[baggygreenmania]

Two Aussies making their ODI debut today.. Jhye Richardson and Alex Carey. Congrats boys. Time for some pay back Wattyls..

[Katto]

England go 2-0 up

I dont like the look of this Aussie ODI side at all

[baggygreenmania]

Terrific limited overs bowling. Agree 2-0. .

You need all the tools of wealth to live in Britain and north western Europe.

Met a bloke once who said he loved being snowed under.

Such is the self hypnotic survival mode engendered in the human psyche.

[baggygreenmania]

The Starc pie shop is open for business again.

[Verity]

England go 2-0 up

I dont like the look of this Aussie ODI side at all

its been a bits and pieces side for some time.

[Katto]

yeah its composition seems like an afterthought

I cant help but think the manner in which the domestic one day comp has been treated in recent times has contributed

really they're picking players based on T20 form

not sure how England manage their domestic season as they have all these formats too

[Katto]

yawn predictable outcome

[Shambles]

Would be very interesting to see Englands Test side playing Englands One Day side..??

[Loose halo]

Smith fails Australia fails.


Being disgusted with Australias slow batting I switched to the Tennis to watch Kyrgious win in a great match.

[baggygreenmania]

Aussies appear unable to switch from Test mode to ODI mode. Bloody pathetic.

[Boycs]

Hehe the knives come out so quickly it’s not just English fans then

[Katto]

This has been a poor Aussie ODI team for some time now.
We never really replaced Shane Watson.

[Paddles]

Watson was a brilliant ODI player.

I don't think Australia are poor in ODI now, but Watson has left a difficult hole to fill. He was just so good with both bat and ball and so often this helped to get Australia over the line in close games. Sometimes he just blew the opposition away in not so close games.

[Loose halo]

Hehe the knives come out so quickly it’s not just English fans then

There was no gloating during the test series by the Aussie posters some praise and some criticism so no one is bailing out as you imply.

Some inclusions like Travis Head and some omissions like Nathan Lyon were unpopular but England took advantage and played better.

For example England batsmen pierced the field Australian players hit the fielders such was the difference in ODI skill between the teams.

[Loose halo]

Australia gets its chance here at the SCG.

I expect Head to be dropped and hopefully Hazlewood Cummins and Lyon to return.

shouldn't we be replacing a batsman with another batsman?

also Cameron White is past it and not very good.

[baggygreenmania]

Who did they drop for Zampa? Bout time he played.

[Paddles]

Who did they drop for Zampa? Bout time he played.

Head.

Zampla played game 1 (4 bwlr + 2ar). Was dropped for White in game 2 (3 bwlr + 2 ar). Now back to 4 bwlr + 2ar.

[Loose halo]

Zampa is OK but is not our best leggie IMO Swepson is. He got Bairstow with a wrong ún I wish he would use it a lot more the psychology being reinforcement to the batsman that it may be going either way more often.

Anyone for Lyon in lieu of Zampa?

[bolero]

I hear all our Aussie friends including Loose Halo and Katto talk about Swepson.Would like.to see him bowl.

[Loose halo]

A glimpse.

[baggygreenmania]

Why cant our bowlers execute the yorker? The numbers of half volleys they dish up is embarrassing.

[Katto]

I hear all our Aussie friends including Loose Halo and Katto talk about Swepson.Would like.to see him bowl.

nope, I never mentioned Swepson other than who is he and I never saw him bowl

Loose Halo loves his QLDers and would prefer the whole Aussie team stacked with them

I'm not a big fan of Zampa either. He bowls too many loose deliveries. He might be effective on assisting pitches and against teams like NZ who are clueless against leg spin but other than that he can be a serious liability.

[Katto]

White is still shit. Shuffling deck chairs at this point.

[Boycs]

Finch falls lbw to Rashid after his fifty.

I hear plunkett has injured himself? A lot of overs for root then

Swepson and Lynn maybe is all.

Stop your stirring Croweater

[Boycs]

Jimmy A has been given some TMS commentary duties. Thinking of his retirement perhaps?

[Loose halo]

I am sick and tired of Umpires giving LBW's that change games with a hell of a lot of doubt.

Watching Finch live I said you can't give those.!!!!

[Boycs]

I don’t mind it so much

[Katto]

was it Gaffney again?

[Loose halo]

Smith another victim of the Umpire's union.

RIDICULOUS DECISION.

The ball was clearly grassed.

[Boycs]

I’ve only seen one reply of the catch and it didn’t look out to me. There’s a wiggle of the ball as it kind of chips up into the glove from
The ground.

I do accept that butler could have honestly believed he caught it though. I think any jumping up of the ball can be easily disguised amongst the glove hitting the ground

[Katto]

was it Gaffney again?

[Katto]

the one day Ashes are proving even more one sided

[Katto]

why isn't Khawaja in this team? and hasbeens like White are?

[Boycs]

Someone tell me what Mark Wood's appeal is? He averages 40-45 with the ball in both formats after over 30 matches!!

[Katto]

so many poorly timed shots

2 dead rubbers to come

yawn

[Loose halo]

England had help from the Umpires but you can't take away Buttler's innings.

Looking back I think the Aussie selectors trialled too many dud players not the first time they have been guilty of underestimating the opposition after a bit of success.

Yeah Zampa has tormented NZ's batsmen in 4 matches now, plundering wickets at a mere 40+ runs each and bowling middle overs with a suffocating 5.6+ runs an over.

[Yorkshire]

Are you plan to add more trash? We do not need permanent test player ( in Aus) for ODI team, we need new team for the 4th and 5th ODI.

Lets starts talk about new possible team

Smith ( captain)

[baggygreenmania]

For starters pick limited overs specialist bowlers. Our Test attack, barring perhaps Starc, is suited to this format. The Poms pick specialists and they have just walloped our insipid Wattyls 3-0 to take the series.

[baggygreenmania]

Smith ( captain)
Selectors should choose the ODI side from the best performed players from our one day domestic competition.. plus Smith. No ifs..no buts.

Khawaja is one of the best short form players in the country, has been for the past 7 years.

[Verity]

Khawaja and Nathan Lyon missing out has me dumbfounded.
