Australia v England, 5xODIs, 14-28 January, 2018

Poms doing it easy.

Australia ...NFI at the format they are Gillyholders ...

playing like Mullerbies at the moment

Yup. Ordinary stuff.

No game plan or strategy, as opposed to England's well drilled approach.

leave your spinner out

over bowl two ordinary sub part timers

clueless

Apologies if this has already been covered but how do you pronounce Jhye? Is the j silent?

J not silent

rhymes with eye

I asked this during the first match (assuming Elmer is Lyon). OP Tipping gave a reply I didn't fully understand and I didn't press further.

Thanks embee. This from urban dictionary:

Jhye is a well respected person, extreamly[sic] hot and is a chick magnet. Jhye never does any work, and would prefer to talk about girls, pornhub, and living memes.

All I meant was that the selectors marked his card Never To Play in Jamodis and forgot to ever review the matter. Same happened to Langer.

Link to Duminy belting a bowler to concede 37 runs in an over (including a no ball)

There's a video down the bottom of the GOAT going for 32 to the Sweepologist at the Hurstville Post Office

Maybe the NSP have the video on the top of his file

That article has described JPD as a "former" South African batsman. He's still active in ODIs is he not?

Yes

The difference here will be the amateur hour 5-57 we made off the last 10 after the top 5 slowly plodded to 200 ready for the big launch (which never happened).

I find it laughable that the Aus brains trust acknowledged England's better game plan in game 1 yet we made no attempt to match it when we batted. We barely touched 6.0 an over in the whole innings whereas England were above 6.0 from over 1.

This playing safe until the mad last 10 game plan shits me royally. Our JAMODI side still plays the game like it was played in the 90s, when 270 was considered a great score. Time for Puddle to be flicked (particularly if Smith is too scared to bowl him), Elmer to be returned and get a hitter in the middle order. Maybe Ooze near the top wouldn't hurt on these flat decks.

...or we could have bowled and then the Poms strength of batting is used up at the halfway point of the match

Historically we have been shit-scared to chase.

As I have said, when the ltd Fink is our best player we are farked Seasick Steve is clueless in this form of cricket.

Fair effort from Koo.

I believe this is called choking.

How useful would another 50 have been? [sigh]

Oh, maybe not. It's a good job England bat deep.

Bit harsh. They reached 200 off 38 overs (5.3 rpo). It's a respectable launchpad.

It's what came after that was the problem.

Not in today's JAMODIs. 350 is the new 90's 250. Aus needs to be 250 at the 40 over mark and then make 100 minimum in the final 10.

Overall, today's effort was pretty pisspoor.

Well done England.

I'm blaming Cam White and he didn't even bowl

Finch
Warner
Smith
Head /Maxwell / Dozen (especially if his shoulder comes good)
Marsh/ Stoinis (only need one of them)
Paine/Carey/ Sharapova/Nifty
Fork ...needs to get his brain right and develop a new trick with his bowling
Koo
2nd
Haze ... two of them and any number of possible replacements as third seamer ...
Some one who spins and takes wickets ...Lyon / Orrible /Zampa / Boyce / Fuddy

That would be my base squad for the next gilly

Fork being injured and losing his tricks has left a big hole
