Pretty disrespectful to suggest they don't care. They've been beaten, nothing more than that. No reason to think we can't beat India and in T20 the margin can suddenly open up at the end to make it look like the two sides are further apart than they are. The bowling stocks have been decimated too don't forget.

The players may care but the selectors sure as hell don't give a toss. To be honest I'm not that fussed if we rest guys like Warner, Khawaja and Smith to get them ready for tests. At the end of the day that is all that matters

We don't care

We started this format with players nicknames on the backs of our tops. I remember the first T20 World Cup an interview with Ponting on the oval after we were just eliminated and he said "Maybe we need to take this format a bit more seriously".

Yep he's batted well. Although a century in a dead rubber, typical Watto lol

Had some bullshit mind reader in the innings break. And his back after the game. It dead set made my eyes bleed watching it. Fair dinkum

Channel 9 commentary used to be first class it's now absolutely disgraceful

Bancroft misses a pretty gettable stumping. Crazy that he gets picked for Australia really.

Should have picked ludeman really.

Tait going for 11 an over again. Surely this is his international career over

Any chance of selecting a specialist keeper who is handy with the bat.

Surely the Wade experiment in all forms of cricket has proved that makeshift keepers cost games.


Raina should have been stumped by Bancroft off Boyce
Next ball 6
Boyce bowling very well

If Bancroft was a gun bat who could be picked alone for his batting I could almost understand it but he isn't even a good t20 bat

Come on Benny take the SA glasses off, Ludeman is rubbish behind the stumps.
Bancroft is probably going to be the next long term keeper in this form atleast, get some games into him now

From the games I have seen he is a better keeper than most in the bbl. certainly a better option than a guy that doesn't keep in any format, and wasn't even going to keep for the scorchers until an injury.

How was boland also selected? Haven't seen what the selectors did.

Doesn't seem to move the ball at all. Bowled relatively tight the other night but doesn't seem to have any variety

Missed the game this year where he dropped 2 catches and missed a stumping. Plenty better in the BBL, not sure if Bancroft is the answer but Luderman aint
