5th ODI: Australia v England at Perth (Optus Stadium) on Jan 28, 2018 - England won series 4-1

[Hutty1986]

Please - he's Don Bradman compared to Chris Martin.

One of the few worse than him. Aus need Paine to face every single ball to be any chance

 

[AlwaysGreen]

f**k I hate slater.

Heals: 'the hottest of pressure'

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Its over dickhead

 

[ANTiLAG]

Eng B win against the odds.

No Stoakes. No Woakes. Against a team of 4 specialist bowlers.

Wow.

I'm shocked.

Hiney, please explain.

Surely bowlers don't need to score runs?

 

[Bazal]

Dammit, good nut.

Some very dumb batting at times

 

[Hutty1986]

Predictable shit. 5 wickets to Tom Curran

 

[King hit]

That's that. Curran bowled England to victory superbly. Terrible collapse by our guys such a choke.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Well bowled Curran.

Got to say, not at all convinced with Paine.

 

[Eelectrica]

Credit to Curran. Great bowling.
Back to the drawing board with this Aus team.
Smithy and Warner forgetting how to bat hasn't helped.

 

[mave]

Starc's no ball comes into play tbh.
Cost us 20 runs minimum.

 

[Eelectrica]

Well bowled Curran.

Got to say, not at all convinced with Paine.

+1 Carey is the obvious answer. Whiteman back playing again would be worth a look.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Well bowled Curran.

Got to say, not at all convinced with Paine.

Bazal reckons he's the Bradman of Keeper batsmen.

 

[Bazal]

Bazal reckons he's the Bradman of Keeper batsmen.

Got a quote to prove that?

He's no Mighty Chris Woakes that's for sure, he could keep to his own bowling he's that good.

Why are you comparing #8 Woakes to #7 Paine.

#8 runs aren't important, the tribe has already spoken. 4 best bowlers is where its at. Hiney said so - ya'll agreed. Tail end runs are sabermetrical - and Straya is a 4 best bowler country goddamnit.

 

[Eelectrica]

Bazal reckons he's the Bradman of Keeper batsmen.

He can keep the test job for now. But hopefully even our blind selectors can see he's not an ODI keeper.

Bloody hell, they're gonna go back to Wade in the ODI's.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'd have Paine in my test team no fears but his strike rate and ability to score quickly to boost innings in the shorter formats negates his keeping skills.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bloody hell, they're gonna go back to Wade in the ODI's.

On second thoughts, f**k that, Tim the job's yours for life.

Nah - Bazal said his SR is fantastical. He can hit 90+

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Tubby Taylor either hasn't aged a day since he retired or he's always looked like he's 55.

 

[TheParraboy]

Bloody hell, they're gonna go back to Wade in the ODI's.

they will groom Carey

ton of time and ODI to get him there before the wc

Lyon will be there as well. As well as either short or lynn maybe both
