I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

[Suitman]

You know what pisses me off about CA.

Just because the ODIs have sold out months ago because of India.

There has been SFA build up or Promotion in other states that they actually start this week and international cricket is back in Town.

I guess it reinforces how meaningless these games are.

But i reckon most wouldn't have a clue if there not going that the ODI's start this Sunday.

I couldn't get a ticket to the Sydney ODI for the following week back in June when they went on sale too busy trying to get Ashes tickets for our group but the ODI was already sold out in 2 days & tbh i completely lost track it was actually starting this week.

Because there hasn't much chatter about it.

I honestly didn't even know this was happening, and I'm a huge cricket follower.

23 FC matches and averages 31.70

His 60 on boxing day put India/Bumrah off just enough to get us away in a crucial match.

But he has done next to nothing else to suggest he is a teenage prodigy.

2 out of his 3 FCs 100s actually came in the same game 12 months ago in the early shield match.

Hardly the record of someone we should be selecting as an opener for an Ashes series.
He needs to bide his time and get better.

Marnus looks like the form batsmen in the country...

Do you bring him back as first drop and promote Green to open

no, I think Manus will open with Oozie, Smudger at 3, Head, Green and Noodles

If he can open he could make that his spot for the next 5 years... Let's hope his form holds.

I hope we get to see Green bowling again this summer.

An in-form Marnus is great for Australia - let's hope he keeps it up.

Even though its the poms this sounds like a ripper story on the 1986 tour of Australia

what selection hopes ?

I reckon some improvements/advancements they could make to T20 include the following:

1. Allow extra fielders (essentially, if a batter slogs/hits in the air but it doesn't come out of the middle there should be a way bigger chance they get caught out).

2. Make it hit and run, but a run out is not out as such rather it is minus 5 runs (similar to indoor cricket). Bring in double plays in this regard as well.

3. There could be less time between balls by having 2 bowlers at the same time from each end. Similar to cricket batting practice in the nets. Eg a dude bowls and while he is walking back to his mark another dude is bowling - those 2 rotating in that way so you could probably get 1o balls bowled in the time it would usually take to get 6 balls bowled. So this way in 3 hours you could get 350 balls a game rather than 240 balls.

These are sick ideas.

I just think T20 is so boring because it is all about the batting and its too slow. My idea number 3 speeds it up an F-load.
