BookMan Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 With the amount of games they play these days i wonder how much control the medical staff have. Although i agree if Usman is over his hamstring injury,he's over it. I wouldn't be to quick to hang Marsh out to dry. Australia on top in ODI rankings and can regain no 1 spot in the tests coming up. T 20 is the "3rd" form of the game. What they say about Australia used to be picked on form is garbage,it was harder to get out of the side than in it. Khawaja just had to be picked. As tough as it is, Shaun Marsh or Bailey had to dropped for him. Shaun Marsh should've never been in the T20 side instead of Usman, that was outrageous. Marsh has a terrible record in T20 cricket. I'm not so sure about T20 being 3rd now to be honest. Apart from the WC, I find 50 over cricket really boring. I reckon t20 will take over from T50... and in all likelihood also from test matches India and Media $$ will dictate it all for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will27 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm watching the New Zealand v Australia one day game.. We are looking at a 350 total for New zealand. 3/191 after 27 overs Watching here: (no need to sign up as member or download anything) http://cricfree.sx/watch/live/new-zealand-vs-australia-live-streaming The Aussies still like chasing. Unless there is collapse, 350 plus which is a huge total. Was ok chasing at home against India, but I would've liked to get them on the board in the opener away from home.

farmerjo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Think it's time to see boundaries back as the fence.(put some padding around the bottom to protect players) It's hard enough for bowling teams on flat tracks produced these days.In SA last night they had the boundary,a space,a boundary of advertising,a space then the real boundary. Some would say a lot of the sixes cleared the boundary easy,and they did but if the fielder is 15 metres further back it will make the batsman think more. To flick the ball 63 metres for six is a joke for mens cricket. We all like to see runs scored for the entertainment side but i wouldn't like to be born into the world as a bowler,talk about being on a hiding to nothing. Maybe it's also time to do away with field restrictions.Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 West Indies mankad Zimbabwe to enter Quarter-final West Indies Under-19 entered the quarter-final of the World Cup in controversial and tense circumstances, as Keemo Paul effected a mankad to claim the last Zimbabwe Under-19 wicket - that of Richard Ngarava - with three runs needed off the final over. Paul ran through the bowling crease without entering his delivery stride and broke the stumps, catching the non-striker Ngarava with his bat on the line while he was standing a couple of steps out of his crease.The two on-field umpires conferred before asking West Indies if they wanted to uphold the appeal, and once it was confirmed that they did, the third umpire was called in and found the batsman just on the line, ending Zimbabwe's campaign in a game they had to win to make the quarter-final. The dismissal was within the rules of the game. http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-under-19-world-cup-2016/content/story/968235.html Keemo Paul's Mankad and Pettersen and Lee's Solheim Cup row show rules should be rules Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/mankad-and-solheim-cup-rows-show-that-rules-should-be-rules-20160203-gml8s5.html#ixzz3z9h8vI2M Follow us: @theage on Twitter | theageAustralia on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
