[Flem274*]

Not a chance he's not IMO.

Australia have won two out of our last 20 ODIs

what? no way this is true. who on earth have you been playing and who did you send?

i don't bother watching odis on the other side of the world. harder to fall asleep to than tests.

It's crazy, but it's true.

No Ben Mcdermott,same as Mitch Marsh twin failures in T20?

Fakhar ran him out in both innings. Tbh McDermott was only picked for T20s so not a huge surprise he isnt in the ODI squad.

Tbf we've played 3 teams in that time who are likely three of the four finalists in the next WC. New Zealand, India and England. Ten of those ODIs were against England. 5 home and 5 away and we won one match at home.

There were a couple of no results in there as well.

Both sides odi batting is pretty dire atm. So probably going to be a shootout between the 2 bowling line-ups.

Even with Warner and Smith available Aus's ODI sides over the last 12-18 months have been 2nd string. Since the bans it's been even worse, ad you'd expect. They haven't stopped resting 3-4 players per series on top of Warner and Smith being banned.

9 of SA's 15-man squad are Titans players. Dominance but this a new level I reckon. And this is without AB who could have added to it.

The England tour was full strength from a batting perspective and was as strong as we could get the bowling given the players who were injured.

Just letting you guys know that the PM XI One Dayer vs RSA is televised live on Fox tomorrow.

Prime Minister's XI: George Bailey (c), Jason Behrendorff, Max Bryant, Ben Dwarshuis, Blake Edwards, Jack Edwards, Sam Heazlett, Kurtis Patterson, Josh Philippe, Usman Qadir, Jason Sangha, Tom Engelbrecht (12th man)

 

[Starfighter]

They could at least include the token ACT guy in the XI, especially if they're going to pick Blake Edwards.

 

[NUFAN]

I feel like the batting talent is there but the bowling is questionable.

 

[Gnske]

I thought Blake Edwards was dead

 

[NUFAN]

Whats Blakey Edwards story? Doesnt have a cricinfo page.

Im curious to see how the young bats fair against the South African attack.

 

[Starfighter]

De Kock with a golden duck, I've always questioned the wisdom of cutting full deliveries.

This is about the worst attended PM's XI match I've seen

 

[Starfighter]

2/3! This is great! Gets the edge after having an LBW that shoulda been given turned down. Pitch is flat as billiard table too.

 

[Starfighter]

Kookaburra balls still stop swinging after 1.3 overs despite the slow batting start.

 

[Starfighter]

Go the Dorff! 3/19 now.

 

[Starfighter]

WTF are SA doing out there?

WTF are SA doing out there?

Adjusting to local conditions. They've been analysing the batting patterns of local sides and are trying to replicate them by collapsing to a pathetic total.
