zakharov posted:How could you not mention Ireland defeating Pakistan in 2006 followed by the coach turning up dead? Yeah like BDC said they're not bad just widely consistent away from home. They just got completely steamrolled by England in an ODI. Primarily by two English bowlers, one of whom whose name has been a punchline for the past few years and another who is playing his first real match in ages. And this after a relatively competitive Test series against Australia in Australia and almost sneaking away with a win in the first ODI against Australia the other day. The again these days everybody is wildly inconsistent away from home. Go for Pakistan instead. Seams fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Jan 21, 2015 |

The ECB is like bizarro-Cricket Australia in that they will dump their most successful batsman ever for minor indiscretions while CA just lets their players do whatever they want even if they're not that good.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Why do England have such abysmal odi all time run scorers. England's number one would be Australia's 13th or so. Whenever an England batsman gets good, they get rid of him. Burn Down Canberra posted:I tend to agree with them. Ali hit a 69m six. that's silly. It's safer for the players having a boundary rope.

Bellerive is a pretty small ground but I'll live with a few top-edged sixes if it means players aren't getting serious injuries

Remember that Cummins is a really fast bowler and it would be easier to get a top-edge six from him than say Sandhu

Australia beat England with a batting B-team and is now seeing if they can beat India with a bowling B-team I guess.

gabensraum posted:Just not cricket – how Channel Nine is destroying a legacy (Geoff Lemon) Even just getting rid of Brayshaw would be a massive improvement. Slater and Taylor etc can all be good commentators if the culture was different, but Brayshaw needs to gently caress off forever.
