    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    In fairness, Australia are playing a couple of English born players in this game, and their performances in this match are rather mirroring those of their birth country.....

    Fair enough. With respect, I only tune into BBL from time to time and can't say I've followed the threads on here for that too closely.

    I'm not sure I buy the selection by vibes except for the daft selection of Josh Hull for the Sri Lanka game at the Oval. What I dislike is the fact that certain players such as Zak Crawley seem to fail upwards, which I think I get with you. I' mot sure there are a whole load of batters out there...

    I almost hate to say it but I'm with KP. You can dislike his obvious hubris, but he's right. When I set out my post above, I was only setting out what Buttler had said and I did disagree with it as I said that they had the day after their travel to practice. If that is not what any of them think...

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    I had only found out about the issue, yesterday morning UK time. I was about to put a link to the news, yet saw that loads of posters had mentioned it a few pages back so didn't bother. I hadn't seen any of the series, and had a look at some footage. I've got to say he looks bang to rights from...

    Not a good strategic decision. He is guaranteed to take wickets. That said, they've lost Vince from their batting line-up and probably think they need a batter first of all, to fill that gap.

    In fairness, a fair few Aussie posters were calling Kuhnemann's action out yesterday when the news first broke. Indeed, looking back at the thread, they had their suspicions for a while. This is set out a few pages ago.

    Their reasoning for this is that the travelling between venues between games has been quite strenuous. They went from Nagpur (central) to Cuttack (east), to Ahmedabad (north west). I can understand that it would wipe out the following day after the game, but you would have thought they would do...

    I thought it was 4 with Slop's assistant also getting carded?

    Wasn't it more likely match officials that reported him than SL themselves?

    To be fair, the golf playing is well known and has been discussed long before KP has mentioned it. I mean it has been discussed on here when test matches finish a long time before the 5th day.

    The latter.

    I reckon 400 is on. 2 2ickets down and pretty much 200 in 30 where they say you can double your score in the last 20. As much as we've criticised 4 specialist quicks in Asia, playing only four specialist bowlers with Root and Livingstone trying to make up 10 overs together is an incompetent...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Away from their best centre=backs, they look less composed and definitely less comfortable in possession, their decision not to replace Alvarez last summer was nuts, and they have an ageing midfield with Gundogan coming back seeming very strange too, resulting with a midfield with even less gas...

    Atkinson really hasn't played that much in 50 over cricket prior to getting his England call up as a consequence of that silly crisp packet tourney. Even so, he needs to learn the so called 'hard length' or otherwise he should be binned quickly.

    I'm astonished you guys keep picking McGurk.

    As I have hinted, I'm not as down on Overton's bowling because he looks like he has wickets in him if he focusses on the 'Hazlewood' hard length. Whether he is consistent enough to do that is another matter, but he's taken a surprising number of wickets on the tour so far in both t20s and ODIs...

    To be fair, Roy did get out quite a bit not having converted a fair few scores in that ballpark in his first couple of years but did improve to convert a after a couple of years.

    You and me both as well as every other England fan here. Funnily enough, Overton has showed some utility as a 'hard length' bowler, despite his mediocre to poor domestic record but I wouldn't count it as a specialist option moving forward.

    But that alone doesn't really make sense as a few of these guys have been caning it in other domestic t20 tournaments for ages and have had previous success in the England t20 team. It hasn't helped that neither Smith or Bethell have stayed fit. Smith played quite a good little knock in Chennai...
