International ODIs

And the Poms have been bragging for months that Archer and Wood will terrorise in the Ashes this year.
Both are gassed after 4 overs, can’t wait to see them over back to back tests in an Aussie summer.
Archer’s heartstring would already be twitching at the thought

Probably a bit redundant in Pakistan, a pretty formidable line up anywhere but the sub-continent.

We can hang shit on both of them as much as we like but they have both had our measure at times.

Has Bazball had more "moral" victories than real ones?

Not sure you can call our white ball stuff bazball considering Brendan has been in charge for 6 odi games. After 2019 we stopped prioritising 50 over cricket and we are certainly feeling the brunt of that now. Poor selection choices and to much arrogance to adapt are not helping that.

Our test cricket is going reasonably well, Series losses in India and Pakistan aren't awful. Pakistan doctored up some pretty awful pitches to even that playing field.

I think Rohit needs to consider making himself unavailable again for the semi final.

I always love whenever the opposition takes a wicket how incredibly silent the Indian crowd gets. I don’t mind if Australia, New Zealand or South Africa win this tournament just as long as they can beat India in the Semi Final or Final.

Iyer 79
Pandya 45
Henry 5/42

Imagine that silence as an opposition bowler, you'd feel on top of the world!

Am I the only one doesn't find the constant screeching/whistling from the Indian crowd entertaining or an indicative of a great atmosphere? Just annoying in my mind.

As much as we give the Poms crap, groups like the Barmy Army add entertainment/value.

Aust Vs India tonight

Cant see the Aussies winning this one however they pull out the unexpected when you least expect it

Need early wickets to put the pressure on

These are 2 teams that do not like each other.

Go Trav.

Bloke averaging 16 in this format of cricket is opening the bat. Speaks volumes about JFM

I'm happy Connolly was picked over Fraser-McGurk and will die on that hill!
Shows how much confidence they have in Fraser-McGurk at the moment hey.

Spencer Johnson would have beef a better option as an opener

[Jim05]

Would’ve been nice for Trav to have a look at more than 1 ball against this bloke. Disgusting dismissal
