Sean Abbott to save the day!

You might be on the money here

[Mic]

Struggling to think of the last time we've looked this bad in a one-day series.

Was only a year ago we lost to the Saffers by over 100 runs in 3 consecutive games. One of them we lost by 170 runs

have to be honest i cant remember that

Same!

Extras has been our one consistent performer through this innings, currently our equal highest scorer.

Lance Morris and Spencer Johnson in your side and Stoinis gets the new ball

wtf

Probably because Stoinis usually swings the new ball.

[Armchair expert]

Bring Hardie on to bowl next

[The Dark Knight]

50 partnership for Shafique and Ayub, their second in succession, take a leaf Australia!

[dedja]

Have the Aussies re-acquainted themselves with John the bookmaker?

Morris with two wickets and giving the Pakistan batters a few issues.

I wish we could have these types of decks in Test cricket
To have decks like this in SmalL Bash cricket is questionable
Personally I dont mind them
BUT
if you keep dishing up these decks in SmalL bash cricket , could make people turn away to BIG bash cricket

Is Australian cricket now in crisis mode with national team?

[The Dark Knight]

Huge by Pakistan, their fast bowlers were a treat to watch.

[tigerpie]

Whoever the bright spark was that decided opening with Stoinis needs to be taught a lesson.
Get the fast boys into the attack from the get go.
Looked like a 'safe' move instead of going for the throat.

This was Pakistan's first ODI series win in Australia since 2002, it was also 2-1 with Australia winning the first match in that series aswell. I vaguely remember the third match in that series as Shoaib Akhtar ran through the Aussies at the Gabba.

Cooper Connolly has a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left hand after being hit on the hand and as we saw retired hurt.

Is Australian cricket now in crisis mode with national team?

Nope. That was effectively our B and C grade teams and it’s clearly evident that outside the WC that ODI’s are just glorified practice matches. We were flogged by South Africa last year in a ODI series and then won the WC a few months later and I’d be pretty confident that if another WC was played next week we would be at the pointy end of the comp regardless of where it’s played

Yep, you just have to wonder what our method is? If we're trying to get games into the young ones then all good, but why play the likes of Smith, Marnus, Big Show, Stoinis and Abbott? Why isn't our best ODI player playing, why play Inglis ahead of Carey?

There is a distinct lack of interest but it's caused by CA playing not even fringe players, if we played our best XI we would pants the Pakis.
