Cricket Season Thread

Anyone who wants Watson back has rocks in their head. He's an easy wicket in the top order, and doesn't want to bat mid order. Only bowls when it suits him.

Marsh has his career ahead of him, Watson is spent.

Since returning from injury Watson has looked very good with the bat.

Because I enjoy these sorts of things, here's my likely XI and an Australia A that I'd like to see:
1\. Warner / Cowan
2\. Rogers / Khawaja
3\. Watson / S. Marsh
4\. Clarke / White
5\. Smith / Ferguson
6\. Haddin / Cooper
7\. M. Marsh / Paine
8\. Johnson / Coulter-Nile
9\. Harris / Cummins
10\. Siddle / O'Keefe
11\. Lyon / Behrendorff

Clarke won't be playing if his hammy 100%

I reckon we could struggle for runs this summer in the Test Series

How good are the Paki's going. The potential they have is insane when they focus on cricket and not taking dives.

Completely outplayed us and they deserved all the accolades of that series.

Hope that was a kick up the arse for our boys and the selectors too.

The Aussies just have an inability playing on foreign pitches. Granted their batting stinks no matter where they are, their batsmen especially are clueless against world class spin, but put Johnson on a pitch that's doing nothing and he's no longer a bully.

They whupped the Kiwis as well by 250+ runs as well ThePakistani batsmen are killing it and they broke a record in regards to the Top 5 batsmen all scoring 80 or more in one innings

And Misbah is now the most successful Pakastani Captain in history. I follow the test rankings pretty closely, and if they clean sweep New Zealand, i think they'll leap the Aussies and become the 2nd ranked test side in the world behind the Saffas

Joel Caine was just giving the odds on highest run scorer for the ODI …after going through a few he finished off with........ Maybe you like De Kock.... 😕

Names that are native to their homeland aren't ''weird arse'' at all. I assume you think names like Chan and Habib are also ''weird arse''

I think he'll be alright, just skin cancers that need to be cut out. His mother lived till she was about 104 or something, so its in his genes to live to a very old age, so won't surprise me if he's around for another 20 yrs.

I was actually blown away when i heard Richie's mum passed away, which was only like 8 or 9 yrs ago. For some reason i pictured the episode from the Simpsons when Mr Burns mother was still alive.

No , being in a multi-cultural society when you are familiar with hearing the names Chan & Habib is not weird arse , is it a crime in having a laugh at names like De kock & Faf du plessis ?
You need to get of your high horse mate and lighten up a bit … ?

Maybe I'm being stupid , but does anyone have an issue that with the new review system when they review it that the fans at home find out before the people at the game whether the review is upheld or overturned

Maybe I'm just being precious

Yes…. Yes you are Chicken Little....It's about 3 seconds different

 

[happy_tiger]

Yes…. Yes you are Chicken Little....It's about 3 seconds different

But we want fans to be at live games to create atmosphere

Just another step away from promoting full attendances

Again maybe just being stupid
