    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    Our middle over batting vs their middle overs spin bowling is a bad match up for us. I think we are relying on another team to beat them.

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    Unreal innings for a bloke who hasn't played in 6 weeks.

    No mucking around with the batting order, please.

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    Pakistan's bowlers have been terrible and Babar can't hit it off the square. They would be long odds to even get close to South Africa which is why they will probably win.

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    It's a pretty decent average when you consider he scores faster than any other player in ODI history. It is never going to be consistent going as hard as he does but when you throw in his bowling and fielding it's a good package. Shouldn't be lumped together with Stoinis as often as he is.

    de Villiers and Sangakkara can't really be rated as keeper-batsman as they spent a large chunk of their careers not keeping. How would their longevity of fared had they kept their whole career? Gilly played something like 100 consecutive tests and kept in all of them.

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    Pakistan being scheduled to play against spin-heavy Afghanistan in Chennai where it spins sideways, surely just another coincidental quirk of the draw.

    I'm OK with Stoinis at 7 but no higher. He picked up a couple of crucial wickets and is less likely to leak runs than Green. Green a much better top order bat, but probably not as suited to lower order slogging. Ideally it would be Agar if he wasn't injured. Sending Maxwell in at 3 was a stupid...

    Don't worry, just "mist" according to commentary.

    Showing too much respect to these part timers.

    Hoping Afghanistan bat first tonight so I can watch some more Gurbaz Ball.

    Cricket Crap

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/chile-women-in-argentina-2023-24-1402761/match-schedule-fixtures-and-results Can't believe everyone is focusing on the World Cup and missed this cracking series between Argentina and Chile. A couple of records: 1. 427 scored by Argentina in 20 overs...

    Also the WC opening ceremony is tonight, which is strange because I could have sworn the tournament has already started.

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    You guys look one of the favourites to me. Comparing to the 2019 side. Taylor and, to a lesser extent, Guptill are big losses but Conway and Mitchell are just about equal quality replacements on recent form. Santner is much improved, especially in these conditions. Importantly, you have the...

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    Australia neglects the BBL by playing it concurrently with the test summer. This gives it great ratings, but means the best players are not available and the quality suffers. Compare to South Africa, who basically couldn't have given less of a shit about the test matches last summer as they...

    Agree, but given we have Pakistan and the Windies this summer. What will be better for his development - easy test runs or easy Shield runs?

    ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

    Game isn't gone yet, but we look a tired team. Need to look at having more separation between test and ODI/T20 players.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    The cap system is broken in that clubs have to spend a minimum amount of our salary cap. We have a shit roster but we have to pay them the same as Penrith or Broncos, so how do we avoid paying our middling players way overs? The bigger issue was giving him a 3 year deal.

    The Marsh Cup (one day comp) 2023-24

    Has NSW cricket ever been worse? The last consistent Australian representative they have produced is Pat Cummins and that's it for about the past 10 years.

    By the way, I am sure it is just coincidence that this was the only pitch so far that hasn't been an absolute highway.
