2018/19 Australian Summer of cricket

[Jim05]

The Dhoni of old would knock these off easily, but it's the Dhoni of now, so I'm not so sure

Too busy batting for himself these days. Kohli’s dismissal was caused by Dhoni batting for red ink

Short run on him not called

[Armchair expert]

[carey]

Read that cockheads lips that’s why I can’t stand him.

Absolute f**k wit

And now Maxwell.

Where’s Pete and Maxwell’s now?

Cockheads no wonder they both can’t make it.

[Jim05]

Shit captaincy, shit fielding and bowlers bowling some absolute tripe.

Kartik bailed him out

[The Dark Knight]

Not enough runs in the end, Dhoni does it easy. Kohli another 100, did what he wanted

[Armchair expert]

Siddle showed once again the step up from bbl to odi cricket, looked pedestrian out there, has to sit out next match.

Gives more than Finch

Been a fan of Lyon since day 1 but i have never seen 10 overs from anybody less likely to take a wicket in a ODI
Same around the wicket negative bowling ball after ball after ball with the only intent to try to minimize run scoring
For Australia to have any hope of returning to the top they need their spinners to bowl aggressively in search of wickets.
The Indians just picked him at 6 rpo taking zero risks

[Booney]

I want to say (regardless of hw this game pans out) MS Dhoni is the coolest calmest player when chasing totals since Michael Bevan.

Because he doesn't worry about the scoreboard, he bats time knowing he'll make runs.

I think what you meant to say was he doesnt care because hes the most selfish cricketer in wolrd cricket and looks after his average

Thought of this discussion while surfing twitter yesterday, @sirswampthing is the go to handle for anything stats related.

Most Not Outs in International cricket :

136 MS Dhoni ( Was 135 yesterday )
130 Jimmy Anderson
119 Muttiah Murlitharan
113 Shaun Pollock
108 Chaminda Vaas
104 Steve Waugh
97 Jacques Kallis

Crowd?

I think it would be fairer to have not outs vs runs and strike rate, if you're striking at above 85 and getting not outs you are doing something pretty good.

Crowd?

If he hadn't played an ODI since 2010, wasn't that telling the selectors something?

We don't want Cinderella stories in our national side, we want victories and competitiveness.
