Australian International Summer

Haven’t seen any, how has Carey kept? No drops?

[bennymacca]

The bits I've seen of the first two games it's interesting to see the difference in Joe Root's demeanour. Calm and jocular as opposed to on edge in the proper stuff.

probably helps they had an easy win in the first game. certainly would relax you a bit as a captain

Not seen all of it but no I don't think so. He has been neat and tidy for mine.

He's not captain, the paddy boy is.

Perfect 'keepers game so far. Haven't noticed him i.e. no mistakes.

Cheers

No Mitch Marsh bowling?

Exactly, the 'Test' allrounder not worth a stint in the pamphlet version.

Is Tye a one-day version of Mennie at test level?

Lacks the pace required for his stock ball which means he is easily dealt with by International batsmen? Hasn't got the toys (variety/movement) to trouble top-class batsmen. In others words a good domestic bowler but that's it.

Absolutely agree with you, T20 cricket is so different to one dayers as the commentators keep telling us, maybe they could get that message through to the selectors.

Australia selected 2 front line bowlers
England won
England lost 6 wickets
The 2 Australian front line bowlers shared the 6 wickets

Have just changed my plans for the adelaide odi.... smith warner the coach and selectors have all shown they do not give a shite about these contests so why pay top dollar to watch second rate efforts and second rate players. Awful bowling attack. No spin options. No bowling all rounder with impact. Again i ask... how does a visiting team select a side better suited to a pitch than the home side? Either ignorance or arrogance from the selectors.

Repeated mental errors shows poor guidance. And Smith shows no gumption for the battle with Root clearly the better bat at this level. This shows why Smith could not be considered the Interrnational player of the year over kholi... he has mentally checked out after the ashes... but he aint on his own.

James Anderson claimed we have no bowling depth after our test quartet. We laughed... but how right he is.

starc has too imo.

At least a couple of positives last night in otherwise what was a woeful performance.

Richardson very impressive, did a bit with the ball and bowled with good pace.

Carey, thought kept very well and his batting was good as well. If he had not been run out who knows he may have scored another 20 or 30 which would have helped the Aussies cause.

Finch Never thought i would say it however has been the backbone in the 1st 2 one dayers. Thankfully he has or the results would have been even mor one sided.

Know the game is hit and miss alot but i really cant see how the Aussies are going to win a game this series.

Does Paine come straight back in?
Surely they stick with Carey in the ODI to give him exposure at the next level.

Paine has done nothing wrong but he won’t be around for ever.

Paine is back in. Smith won the toss and chose to bowl on a road, admitting there his batting lineup is shithouse.

[RB]

What the hell would you bowl? It's 30 degrees, not chance of rain or wind or humidity and we're in Australia. And the other side has the confidence to chase. No idea why you would look at that pitch and not bat, something is wrong with modern day captains...

[locky801]

Another aggressive start by England

0/29 after 5

[Tony Clifton]

Bowling and fielding a fair bit better today
