I reckon Aust pace attack will pepper the Pommy batsmen with the Ashes in mind.

Hmmm, I'm not sure that the pitches will have enough pace in them to make that trick work

How far will this thread drift down the order before the tournament starts?

by Brass Monkey Wed 03 May 2017, 18:48

Meh. On the face of it, England should be right up there as favourites, but we'll most likely pants our yams. Saying this, it's the ICCCCCCCT, so whatevs.

Bump for Skully.

Aside from the Gangas v the Stannies, there has been no watchable competitive cricket.

I will watch and take an interest in this forthcoming equivalent to a B grade movie. In the present desert of cricket even a mirage offers temporary hope.

I guess it's a step up from the current plethora of T20 garbage.

Probably...at least until the Giro started.

The Flange currently resurrecting the Lankan innings. They were 4-92 off 17 overs.

Currently 4-127 off 22.

by PeterCS Fri 26 May 2017, 12:43

5 down for 146.

Dick grabs Kapugedera's scalp after a handy 50 stand among the ruins of the rest.

Or something like that. - crocinfo's having a haywire day.

btw: Head, Cummins ... Handscomb really should be there.

by PeterCS Fri 26 May 2017, 12:50

And Dickwella & Pradeep.

All very subplottish.

by horace Fri 26 May 2017, 22:52

Fink scored a ton and Hot saved the day. Any match where Reeks FFS takes three wickets does not hold a candle to cricket. I see No Show made a gozza - that's more like it.

by Big Dog Fri 26 May 2017, 22:53

Australia fell across the line. Finch & Head won it. Forget the rest. Expensive bowling also from Pattinson & Purple.

by Nath Fri 26 May 2017, 23:29

don't know why they picked Patto. not a white ball player.

by Bradman Sat 27 May 2017, 00:34

Get some miles into his legs, give his back or WTF's wrong with him a workout?

Looks a good summary.

by skully Sat 27 May 2017, 02:05

I note NoShow made a golden. Was he reverse sweeping?

by lardbucket Sat 27 May 2017, 02:45

Are these warm-up games official ODI's?

by WideWally Sat 27 May 2017, 03:22

They wouldn't even be List A.

Players per side 15 (11 batting, 11 fielding)

Yep. Of no more statistical relevance than a backyard game at Christmas. Or a WSC game.

An ongoing disgrace.

by lardbucket Sat 27 May 2017, 06:48

Good; glad they're not regarded as statistically relevant.
