***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

[Cabinet96]

Do you reckon Mussey's heart is really in that "there are some very fine players there"?

 

[Antihippy]

It's kind of the role he's pigeonholed himself into though. Just think that he pigeonholes himself a bit. Played really good rear guard ton and seem to play within himself a lot more in tests, and made him self the aggressor in odis so he always has to play that way. Needs to be more adaptable.

Brayshaw and Slater. **** me dead these two are utter dimwits. Not enough oxygen in the world to waste it on these ****s.

Don't mind Slater too much on average but Brayshaw living up to my initial hypothesis about him turning out to be an obnoxious commentator.

 

[the big bambino]

Oh good, some cutting social commentary from Brayshaw.

He has a t shirt saying je suis a proper charlie

 

[Burgey]

Strange(TM) decision to send England in. I suppose it's good to have practice at chasing large totals, and they'll certainly be chasing a ****load this evening.

 

[Burgey]

George Bailey with the reverse baseball cap looks like a giant condom-clad penis.

 

[the big bambino]

Will leave work early just to see bailey.

 

[Burgey]

That outfield mowing pattern is a bit trippy. Reckon it will freak me out if I watch it later tonight with a skinful.

At his best Moeen looks like he's got loads of time and is so classy, but he can look really jammy I agree. I don't think he's one of the best six batsman in the country in either format really, and is why I like an all-rounder at 8 in the test side.

mate, he's your classic slogger. classy he is not.

 

[91Jmay]

Daft shot, he never looked settled. Match situation awareness found wanting in Moeen, not for the first time.

 

[Burgey]

Doherty with his single contribution for the summer.

 

[91Jmay]

mate, he's your classic slogger. classy he is not.

you've watched him twice, stop.

 

[Cabinet96]

Should've just milked Faulkner and targeted Moi.

 

[Burgey]

That signed TPC memorabilia is the best thing Channel Nine have put up since they auctioned off The Don's ossified sweat gland in 98.

You blokes should chip in and buy it for me.

 

[3703]

you've watched him twice, stop.

This is the fourth full match I've watched him in with a few looks at him on other occasions. Has a good eye but doesn't find the ideal strike point when he brings the bat through, i.e. his shape tends to send everything through the air, among other things. I suspect teams will expose him a bit during the world cup and he'll be sent back to work on a few things. The eye is good though.

 

[Burgey]

Imagine how terrible the slips cordon conversation would have been with Heals and Tubby back in the 90s

 

[Prince EWS]

Honestly, Moeen is such a spud. He's a spud who makes a lot of runs very quickly, and takes useful wickets, but very much a spud in his style of play nonetheless.

This reminds me of what I used to say about Nathan McCullum; that he was arguably the biggest hack in world cricket, but a useful hack all the same due to the role he'd carved out for himself. "A hack but in a good way" as I paraphrased as saying. Moeen's got much more class than Nathan McCullum though.

 

[Burgey]

Damn Unpretty

 

[91Jmay]

Looks a difficult pitch to start on, but good when you're set.
