WC 2nd Semi Final Australia v England - Birmingham 11/7/19

[hineyrulz]

Floater is the perfect term to describe Wade

A floater that won’t flush.

Admiral Nugget and Mitch Marsh called into the squad.

It would be good to be the team to send England out of the tournament. Hopefully they won't prep a road.

Coin toss could decide the result

Australia being allowed to call up Wade is right up there with Mr Burns bringing in 11 ringers for the company softball championship.

Just not fair on anyone else.

not fair on Mitch Marsh? lol

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Mitch Pearce back now Wadey, this is the greatest week of my life.

Mitchell Pearce can't bat or bowl but he would be a better number six than Mitchell Marsh. Why must every injured player be replaced by a Marshtard?

Better believe it, SANITY PREVAILS

Australia A arrived at Arundel for today's four-day clash with Sussex short two players after wicketkeeper-batter Matthew Wade and allrounder Mitchell Marsh were called up as cover to Australia's World Cup squad.

The injury setbacks to Usman Khawaja (hamstring) and Marcus Stoinis (side) suffered in Australia's dramatic loss to South Africa in Manchester yesterday has led national selectors to draft in Wade and Marsh, who left Brighton this morning for Birmingham, the location of Australia's blockbuster semi-final showdown with tournament hosts England on Thursday.

Wade plundered 355 runs in four one-day innings at an alarming rate, including a blistering century from just 45 balls against Derbyshire, the fastest List A century by an Australian.

While Wade has mauled the opposition bowling attacks at the top of the order, Marsh has been more measured in the middle order, posting four unbeaten scores of 40, 29, 53 and 4 in the four victories on tour.

Finch
Warner
Wade
Smith
Maxwell
MMarsh
Carey


Smith to play anchor role if required, the rest led by the Admiral Nugget to bury the poms with high octane batting

I just hope we don't have to chase any small totals with the Admiral in the side.

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol, "measured"...aka, mediocre

 

[herbert henry1908]

How has Stoinis not been ruled out yet? Is he secretly Justin Langers child or something?! We can’t play a semi final with an injured bowler

He can't bowl anyway

 

[Eelementary]

I'm happy for Wade to be in the side as a batsman.

I'm not a huge fan of his, but he is in tremendous form, and I feel more confident of posting, or chasing, large scores with Warner, Smith, Wade, and Carey, as opposed to just Warner, Smith, and Carey.

 

[Tipster]

He can't bowl anyway

He can't bat either

Maybe in the team for morale? Who the f*ck knows.

 

[simmo1]

Wade in for Stoinis. Handscomb in for Khawaja.

Rotate Maxwell/Smith/Finch/Wade as 5th & 6th bowler.

I don't trust Marsh to be anything other than Stoinis v2.

 

[yobbo84]

I'd love for us to bowl first and Starc to rip through the England top order. Bowling them out for 150 and chasing easily would be soul-crushing for them. A man can hope.

That would be awesome

Wade 50no off 25 balls as the icing on the cake?

Bowl first? Are you drunk? We need to bat first it’s literally our only chance.
