Cricket Season Thread

At 83-7 chasing 281 seems our biggest loss in history coming up
CA need to explain how we are putting such sub standard teams on the field
All they care about is tests and BBL
The biggest concern for most of this mob is getting a lucrative IPL contract
 
What about Hearnes 100 ......

More than one state plays in the National comp
What about Caleb Jewell 100.
More than just mainland states play as well 🤪.

Also what a dismal performance. Biggest ever loss to Sri Lanka in an ODI.

Only players worth keeping:
Head (due to prior form), Smith, Inglis, Abbott, Zampa, Maxwell (prior form) and Carey. Need to find 4 more players and the Champions Trophy squad is the exact same as the people who played today and Wednesday.

Honestly, I hope we lose badly so CA has a good long hard look at themselves (as they should already be doing). Hardly any of these other players were chosen on form and that form was BBL!

Big props to Sri Lanka though they played very well. Surely some of these players could get a run in the test side particularly the bowling unit and that Asalanka dude.

True. The other states play their first graders while our first graders represent our country.
Well they do when they’re not feeding the chickens or watching Rock bands
But yeah our reggies need to hone their skills against someone to be ready for the inevitable call up.

Current selection panel = bunch of idiots
Their performance is often covered by the team finding a way to win.

Obviously more NSW players will fix everything. 😎
 
Tigers trial today reminds me of our Cricket ODI side a couple of stars with a bunch of ressies
That 174 run loss was the most disgraceful performance in decades
Has George Bailey or Andrew McDonald made any comment ?

Nope, they’ve been conspicuous by their absence. On to Pakistan where they are no doubt hopeful that a strong win v Poms will erase some of the shame.
 
The Champions Trophy begins tonight with Pakistan vs NZ
Australia begin Saturday night 8pm our time vs England
I'm watching on Prime Video
Is it just me or is there something about our bowling attack that seems tame compared to our attack when we won the world cup Nov 23
NOV 23 WORLD CUP FEB 25 CHAMPIONS TROPHY
STARC DWARSIOUS
CUMMINS ABBOTT
HAZELWOOD ELLIS
MARSH HARDIE
ZAMPA ZAMPA
In both tournaments we could also get a few overs out of Maxwell and Head
Cant see our opponents shaking in their boots this time ! Our bowlers good at bowling 4 overs not 10

Our group England ,South Africa and Afghanistan
Must finish top 2 to progress
 
WTF when I typed my bowlers lists I had our new bowling attack a couple of cm to the right under the champions trophy but as soon as I hit post reply it moved them all back left
Why does it do that ?
Lucky I had a secretary most of my work career ! LOL

We’ve never been serious about this tournament.
 
With our ODI bowling " superstars " Johnson 0-23 off 3 overs
But due to great catching by Carey at MID ON
Dwarsious 2 -21 off 3 overs .
6 overs 2-46
 
First 10 2-73
Hope we are not chasing 400 !
With such a weak bowling line up and our strength batting I wonder why Smith wins toss and elects to bowl ?
