Bad loss or not, why Kawaja wasn't in this team is fucking beyond me.

-PB

Think everyone in the top 7 averaged over 40 against India so they probably thought give those guys the first shot. Khawaja will probably play next game. I'm suprised Khawaja hasn't played much one day cricket before this summer anyway. He destoryed the Metador Cup 2 years in a Row and I rate him a better One Day Player then Warner. My changes for the next game would be Shaun Marsh(Dropped) and Faulkner(Injured) out Khawaja and Stoinis in


Khawaja
Warner
Smith
Bailey
Maxwell
Stonis
Wade
Marsh
Hastings
Richardson
Hazlewood

Also don't rely on Bailey for input on a review lol.

Agree with PB, Why you leave out somebody in the red hot form of Kawaja is beyond me.

Another good 3 day win for the Vics.

Khawaja is the Steph Curry of Cricket. Grace elegance and easy on the eye.

Aaaaaaaand i jibbed it.

Some great batting at the end there by Mitch Marsh and Hastings to grab the win.

With the start we had it should have never come to that.

Should be playing test cricket imo. Funny thing about the Victorian Bowlers I don't rate Siddle or Pattinson in the top 3 bowlers in Victoria atm.

The Kiwi Test series is coming up.

Believe it or not they have a couple of bowlers with serious pace - faster than anyone in Oz.

Adam Milne is express. In the recent one dayers he has bowled 147 - 151 kph, possibly the fastest bowler in the world ATM. His action seems to take a lot out of him, but if used in a few judicious three over spells he bowls faster than anybody who is fit in Australia ATM.


Neil Wagner came into the NZ team in the Sri Lanka series. He also bowls in the low 140s and is a left armer. He was decisive against Sri Lanka.

With all their naggingly accurate seamers as well, NZ could easily win this series, given Williamson looks better than any of our batters ATM.

Khawaja went unsold at the IPL Auction.

Not good for Tassie.:cry:

Really?

I've seen plenty of them at Bellerive Oval.

In the Shield Patto has bowled some venomous spells.I don't think he is where he was a few years ago though ATM.

Even though Siddle has lost a lot of pace he is unerringly accurate and does damage on helpful pitches. In the Aussie team, Chad Sayers has a very good rhythm. His smooth run up and action appears to take little out of him.

The media is talking up Kiwis Southee and Boult. No doubt they are good in NZ conditions , but the sheer pace of Adam Milne in particular ( 150 KPH plus), and left armer, Wagner ( 140kph plus), could pose a real threat to Australia in the Tests.

Lyon will probably be our mainstay. GOAT is underrated.

Deciding one dayer today. Pumped!

Loved watching him play. Technique is great to watch and teach kids growing up how to play the game

I've just read the Kiwi Test squad for the series.

There is no Adam Milne.](*,)

This guy has serious pace. I've only seen him bowl about 12 balls. All from 144- 151 kph. If any nation has a bowler with this sort of terrifying speed, the selectors usually select them for their Test squads.

I've seen all the top cricket nations in the last few months.

Morkel is bowling 140 -144 for South Africa.

Vernon has bowled up to 149 kph for India.

A left armer has bowled up to 147 kph for Pakistan. I cannot remember his name, but I know his features well. He is balding.

Plunkett and Wood can bowl mid 140s for England.

Shannon Gabriel bowled a fews balls 147 -149kph against us in the West Indies.

Only the injury prone Aussies have quicker bowlers, when fully match fit, and at their top form, but few, if any, can hit Milne's consistent speed in just 12 balls.

Tassie are trying to build a team for the Future. Queensland has done a very good job so far this season. They found some great young players. Matt Renshaw could break the 1000 Run mark this season and he is only 19.

surprised at boyce missing out the 20 20 squad

its a shame we dont have starc
a full fit and firing starc along with the impressive hastings, marsh and maybe a decent spinner and we may have a shot at containing some of the better sides
how is coulter-nile at 20/20

best starting 11 in batting order

Watson
Warner
Finch
Khawaja
Smith
Maxwell
Marsh/Faulkner
Neville
hastings
coulter nile/Hazelwood
Zampa

I think thats a strong enough bowling line up. Wish we had starc

How Nevil and Agar got in I don't know.

Handscob,Pierson,Hartley,Paine,Dunk would be better choices imo
Agar is vastly overrated as a spinner. Boyce was very stiff.

Chris Hartley is the best Gloveman in the Country by a mile.

Hartley is a better Batsmen then Nevil in the shorter form of the game and a better keeper.

Kiwis/Oz Test series currently on Fox Sports.

Good to see some hard working Shield bowlers showing true quality in overseas conditions.=d>

Kiwis are 5-84 at lunch. Williamson played some exquisite shots before a brilliant inside of the bat snick to Nevil off Siddle.

Too few Australians see how mediocre Australia often are as a Test unit in overseas conditions , apart from South Africa and the West Indies.

Also, many of the limited over bowlers in 20/20 and One Day cricket, basically try and bowl defensive dot balls, not take wickets.

Nevil took a screamer to catch Williamson off Siddle. I prefer selecting the best keeper regardless of batting ability.

One of the worst decisions made to a bowler's disadvantage.

For the sake of fairness I hope Voges is dismissed soon, fittingly by Bracewell.

The G.O.A.T Adam Voges

Yep and brag about it non stop.

Seeing Voges score 200 after the worst no ball call i've ever seen is a joke. That umpire should get fired, completely fucked the match.

This should be over before lunch lol.
