Australian white-ball tour of Scotland and England, September 2024

[Westend]

McDonald should be nowhere near that coaching panel. It is a good point you make.

With Head and Short in that team, they were always going to open.

Marsh isn’t going to bat lower than 3 as captain. Although I am having my doubts as him as captain and player.

Green can open and bat anywhere from 1-7 yet they consistently shift him around the order

Lets face it if David has to face more than 15 balls he is F**ked ...he should be nowhere near the top six and bat seven for me

Stoinis has his issues....but they like playing him and sometimes he takes a while to wind up happy with him at six

I like Head Short at the top Marsh can only bat top three for me due to the spin in the middle overs...and mitch is better facing the hard nut as he is in ODI cricket.....I think his captaincy has been fine in the white ball but I would like to see him kick on when he gets to 20/30 odd

Inglis has to be in the four he has scored our last t20 hundreds ...and he plays spin well in the middle overs

Head
short
Marsh
inglis
Green
Stoinis
david

Looks so much better for me

 

[big_e]

Why the F**k is greenie batting behind David and stoinis is beyond me

just scores 60 not out at four...should be batting 5

Head
short
marsh
inglis
Green
stoinis

lot better for me

These are games of no consequence, so they can play around with line-ups. No doubt we'll see something resembling your suggestion at some point.

We kept going with Matthew Wade for too long. He/we should have pulled the pin after the World Cup win. The team looks much better with Inglis as keeper-bat. Nathan Ellis is out of both series with a hamstring injury

Has Matt Short unsurped Jake Fraser-McGurk as Australians opener T20, vacated by David Warner? It really is a line ball decision that one.

You can make a case now that Matt Short be given that chance.

Short deserves the opening gig for now. His BBl form has been sublime and must be rewarded.

 

[Saints4ever]

Great first over from Carse 1/1 after getting rid of Head.

Just looked him up.
Never heard about the 3 month betting ban until now.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Tim David fans will be impressed again

 

[Moonwatcher]

Drop them for England as long as you catch them for the Strikers.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Hardie rescuing the innings.

 

[Saints4ever]

Hardie showing he would be better in the middle order than David.

Hardie showing he would be better in the middle order than David.

David is there to face 6 balls. Hardie I'd trust to face 20/30.

 

[Saints4ever]

Green and Hardie at 5 and 6 looks better than Stoinis and David.
I’m not convinced with Fraser Mcgurk either

McGurk will get lucky enough to keep getting selected. I don't think he'll become reliable like Warner or even Head.

 

[Saints4ever]

Not sure why Livingstone didn’t bowl his 4

 

[Moonwatcher]

McGurk will get lucky enough to keep getting selected. I don't think he'll become reliable like Warner or even Head.

And a lot of his luck will be beating up on lowly opposition (England arent' that of course).

 

[Saints4ever]

Stoinis and David are two of the most overrated T20 batsmen of all time, they play about one good innings in about 10.

They aren't even that great at Big Bash level let alone international level.

Couldn’t believe Stoinis averages 30.
That blew me away when he come out to bat.
Wouldn’t have him anywhere near my best 11.

Australia struggle to find 11 international quality players in T20.

Yeah, not many Australian domestic players are going to push out a player averaging 30 at international level.

When you think about the depth of Australian batting you really have to feel sorry for the likes of
Jamie Siddons
Brad Hodge
Martin Love
Darren Lehmann
Jamie cox
And many others.
All born in the wrong era.

Aaron "I got to do everything" Hardie with a great first over.

I suspect they would be shadow of their actual selves had they been developed in the modern era.

Hardie getting the ball to hoop around

It begins

Salt can hit a big ball.
