CRICKET General Cricket Discussion

Cool. I watched Jeh a bit in Aus A, not sure what he really is in terms of bat or bowl but good nonetheless. Kerr is pretty underrated in my opinion, hope he gets a chance to shine.

Kerr is a weird one cause he is 29 now. That potential that you could have tried and sucked out of him a few years ago probably isn’t there anymore.

He’s someone you can rely on to do a job if need be but whether he will go to the next level at 29 years of age is unlikely I feel.

Zanden Jeh goes alright. Dearth of young spinners coming through premier cricket at the moment so I don’t mind it at 22 after an A series.
 
Tim David went crazy today, fastest T20i ton by an Aussie. Great start to Mitch Owen's international career too. We are 6-0 on this tour so far.
 
Turned it on at 4 for not many. Walked away and it was game over
 
Unreal.

As you mentioned @Fernando, looks like Owen is taking his explosivity to the international level, great to see.

England are living up to their stereotype of whinging poms.

They create roads for their bazball style and then complain when the opposition decide to have a bat on them as well.

If I were India I'd be batting for as long as I can as well... England dont realise that their current style gives their bowlers no rest, so a viable tactic in a series against them is to just get as many overs into their bowlers as possible.
 
The podcast with Cook, Vaughan, Bumble and whatsname can’t catch can’t bowl, spoke of this the other day.

India’s bowlers had 2 days of rest extra
 
8-0 clean sweep of the West Indies tour complete. The T20 squad looks great. Zampa is a superstar, someone out of the big 3 + Ellis will have to miss out, Green and Owen look to have made the side better.

How powerful is the batting line up with Head still to come back in. Every single one of them can destroy sides single-handedly. I actually like the bowling with perhaps the exception of Abbott. Ellis is a fantastic death bowler. Dwarshuis has very handy batting to add to the lower order as well.

I think if it were me, at full strength I would consider something like:

1. Head
2. Marsh
3. Green
4. Inglis
5. Maxwell
6. David
7. Owen
8. Starc
9. Ellis
10. Hazlewood
11. Zampa

Cummins isn't making my best 11. I'd also be thinking long and hard about whether I fir Dwarshuis.
 
Check out the England v India game now. Woakes is batting in a sling! Respect man, respect.
 
And a dropped catch for 6.

England need 11, 1 wicket in hand
