peasy23 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yep, Aussies win by 6 wickets with over 4 overs to spare, and that was with them easing themselves over the line. England's bowling for the most part was awful but Jordan was very unlucky not to get a wicket or two, couple of dropped catches and one that just fell short of Ballance. Stokes never looked like the same bowler as he did in some of the Tests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Orton Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Finch goes for 121, he's the first Victorian to score a ODI ton at the MCG. Fair play to him scoring a ton at his age 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 When I used to play rugby at school, the rule was that if a team was winning by 50 points or more, the game was stopped as it was pointless to keep on humiliating them. This feels like one of those situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynard Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 His game has been ruined under the current set-up. Finns problems stem back to the flicking the bails offduring his delivery sometimes. That South African complained it was knocking his concentration and Finns law wasbrought in to make all these a no ball. Fair enough you may think, a bowler that bowls at over 90mph and was the youngest to 50 test wickets and was looking like a world class prospect and one of the best strike bowlers in test cricket, we can allow him to flick the bails off every now and again because in actual fact, it doesnt matter a f**k. This is a boy that has genuine pace and bowls a lot of shite which goes to the boundary but he alo gets top batsmen out with the odd pearler. We can live with this. No. The stupic c***s decide to start fucking around with his run up. This destroys his natural rythym and his confidence goes. And as line and length was never his game anyway they basically cost themselves a bowler who would have ripped through Australia in both series looking at how poor their top order was at times. c***s. I'm a bit of a fan of Finn asyou might guess, mainly because he has the potential to be a great fast bowler. He's only 24 so he has time, but the coaches seem to have no time for a bowler that is quite simply a strike bowler. He isnt going to bowl dry (although as he matures he will gain control) but he offers genuine hostile pace in the Mitchell Johnson, Dale Steyn mould. I really hope he comes back from this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jupiter Jazz Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'd have Morgan in the test side, possibly as captain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
