Now time for the Ashes .. Go Aussies ! The Australia A match vs Australia should be interesting .

 

[Midsy]

Once again, the size of the ground the women are playing on is an insult to them and to the game in general.

And why are they wearing GPS monitors on their backs, like AFL footballers...? Not like they're running any distances.

 

[MB78]

Perry two hundreds in a row. In great form. Perhaps she can teach our men how to bat with the correct technique and patience for this upcoming Ashes.

Anyway it is what it is, so from here going forward,

Do we continue to say team a beat team b by x amount of wickets ?

Or is it now team a beat team b by x amount of boundaries?

I can't find the netball thread - but well done on a huge win over the Aussies. Something to cheer you up, hopefully.

 

[tigertim]

The Haddin XI all out for 105. Neser 4/18, Bird 3/23.

 

[tigertim]

And the Hick XI respond at 7/96. Cummins with 3 and Siddle 3 also.

We’ve either got a gun bowling attack(s) or it was a dodgy wicket.

The dukes ball comes out in bowler friendly conditions and the Aussie batsmen are all at sea. Never would have seen that coming!

Starc didnt take advantage of the bowler friendly conditions. I worry about him in the ashes. Too hit and miss for mine. Hoping he makes way for Pattinson.

Poms 7/52 V, the Irish. Roll on the ashes.

 

[tigertim]

Poms all out for 85! Ireland 1/32 in reply. The wreckers for Ireland were just trundlers, nothing like your Starc, Cummins, Hazelwood, Pattison types.

 

[tigertim]

The media jungle drums pushing for a Mitch Marsh recall.

Please, say it ain’t so. How many times....

 

[toby64]

Reckon Bancroft has played himself into the team for the first test.

Please no.

We should be playing the 4 quicks and Lyon, just go relentless pace and pressure. Short spells to keep them fresh. Pattinson is a gun when fit, I'd almost prefer him to Starc if we go with 3 paceman.

 

[tigertim]

And M Marsh made the squad of 17.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Ireland all out for 38

 

[bigwow]

Clear a space on the mantlepiece, the Ashes are head for Australia

Of course he did yet Carey or Pattison couldnt ......................................

Why pick 4 quicks plus Siddle plus Nesser and then Marsh? Surely they don't think Marsh is a batsman again?

Carey should have been picked before Wade IMO.

Surely they’re not thinking of 3 quicks, Marsh and Lyon?

 

[lukeanddad]

I'd have Cummins, Starc, Hazelwood, Pattinson and Lyons. Between Cummins and Pattinson, we have decent down the order batting coverage. No need for Marsh.

 

[MD Jazz]

Please no. Pattinson could score just as many runs Marsh.
