Warmup Aus v India

[aussies1st]

India batting first, match is televised and we won't be playing India again until at least the quarters.

 

[Dingus]

Anyone know if Australia will be wearing this yellow strip for the full tournament? Looks so much better then the dark green

 

[aussies1st]

Yea that is the official WC shirt.

Yea that is the official WC shirt.

i just flipped over from the souffs grand final and thought they were rerunning one of the original world series cricket games.

jeez it's a woeful colour.

 

[superdog]

f**king hopeless :lol:

almost as hopeless as yuvraj's dismissal :lol:

 

[aussies1st]

India 4 down

 

[Gidley Up]

Krejza really mixes up his bowling well. Full-tosses and half-volleys, he's got both. He better not play a game in the WC.

 

[Matt23]

Meh it's a Mickey Mouse warm up game.

 

[aussies1st]

8 down now, won't be much batting practice it seems.

 

[Big Pete]

We could definitely need it though.

The side collapsed terribly and fell short of the total by 30+ runs.

:lol: slow down big fella - this is not the team of years past - and while England are a fine test side, they are a pretty lamentable ODI side...

 

[aussies1st]

It's only a warmup ;-)

Good to see captain Victorian continue his stellar form.

I think the spinners are gonna dictate this WC,

I know its stating the obvious but we've got mostly a pace attack where as even the poms have got 3 spinners in their team, and we seem to struggle against a mainly spin attack

he likes the ball coming onto the bat, he is one who could struggle against spin attacks in India

 

[aqua_duck]

He struggled all summer even with the ball coming on to the bat

It's just a warm up :sarcasm:

If the wickets turn, it'll be spinners and guys batting in the top 3... once guys get established they have to push on - fo you lot, Ponting will be key I reckon

On the face of it your team looks poorly selected - but I guess if you have decent pace bowlers and poor spinners, you're better off with the pace.

we probably had no choice

Hauri then....................................well it sort of stops there as far as experienced ODI players go

I know it was only a warm up but its pretty much an indication to me on how we will go against spin attack, so alot relies on Clarkey and Punter as our best 2 players of spin imo

 

[aussies1st]

Dussey is supposed to be a good player of spin.
