9th ODI: Australia v Sri Lanka at Hobart Feb 24, 2012

The solution is simple. Watson comes straight in for Warner.

Problem solved.

This, Warner is horrible at 50 over cricket!:lol:

 

[lockyno1]

Pretty much an all or nothing summer for Warner.

Marcus North II:lol:

Pretty much. If he intends to be a permanent opener he'll have to find a shitload more consistency. Something he's never really had in any form of the game.

Warner needs persisting with for a little bit longer, although he could turn out like another Michael Slater who looked like a perfect ODI opener but struggled. By memory gilchrist struggled at the start of his odi career too.

Yeah, From memory the Saffers made him look fairly fragile when he first came in, until he went on to smash a big hundred in the finals.

Someone should just tell Warner to bat like he does in T20, can't go much worse than he is doing anyway.

Just saw on Cricinfo that Forrest has played out over 50 dot balls now. I don't mind that tbh, he's contributing nicely!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Forrest seems to start slowly and then build up until his s/r gets to near 100. Promising start so far.

 

[aussies1st]

Could be useful in the Test side with this sort of consistency.

 

[hineyrulz]

Forrest looks very good, he's Definately ahead of Darsh and Ooozi in the test team ATM.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think Forrest is batting a little slow, 72 from 109 balls. Batting powerplay in force, watch him get out soon, wont be getting a ton

CLarkey on the other hand batting superbly, I see him getting a ton in Punters first game officially out of the ODI side, would be great

Cheers

Pup on fire!! Good to see him take the power play early.

 

[aussies1st]

Solid knock by Clarke, got that strike rate to where it should be.

Parraboy strikes again! ;-)

I wouldn't banish him from the squad altogether, but he could at least do with 12th man duties for a few games.

Nice shot Hussey. And another one goes down on the hill.

 

[IanG]

Forrest get his century. Off 136 Balls. Fantastic innings, Been a rock CONGRATS!!!!

Looks like he might cut loose now

 

[aussies1st]

Nicely done Forrest and PB.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Well done Forrest

Good to see blokes like him, Cowan and Christian doing well when called upon.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Forrest on fire! :sarcasm:
