Best crowd catch I ever seen.

 

[Stevec]

First ODI
Almost same team as our T20 side
Our weakest bowling lime up in recent memory

 

[Stevec]

Sth Africa 8 -296 a good total
Interesting weve used same squad as T20 series
Where the 2 games we won
One mainly due to Tim David
Other mainly due to Glen Maxwell
So these are the 2 we've left out ?
Standout with the ball Travis Head responsible for 5 of the 8 wickets
4 caught and 1 brilliant run out at the bowlers end
Head the strike bowler ? Go figure ?

I’ll go out on a limb and say we can’t run 297 down without those 2 omissions.

Head and Marsh off to a flyer 50 off first 5
They bring on their spinners after 8 overs we lose 3-7
Now 3-70 off 11
That's 3 -20 off next 6
Head stumped 27 off 24
Marnus Lbw 1 off 6 ( as usual he referred it and was plumb )
Green bowled for 2
Either their 2 spin bowlers are better than ours
We are clueless playing spin ! Mainly the latter
Now Inglis bowled for 5 Maharaj another
4-75
5-75 now Carey out first ball sweeping across full ball on middle stump
Weve lost 5-15 all to spin
Our batting so bad it's embarrassing
From 0-60 to 5-75 vs Spin
We can't play spin !!!!!!
GAME LOST !

Do our selectors realise ODI AND T20 I are completely different games !
They owe it to the public to pick and ODI Side

I heard Glenn Maxwell is a pretty good player of spin…

 

[Stevec]

Our batting coach must be useless
6-89
Maharaj 5-9 off less than 5 overs
Our technique we play right BACK to FULL BALLS
spinning balls ?
That's not in any coaching manual I read

Hasn't Maxwell retired from ODIs .....

Possibly but no real idea HT ? Don’t follow it that closely.
