I'm a big fan of Starc make no mistake though he is still a little under-cooked and we haven't seen the best of him yet IMHO - but yes, he has been showing very positive signs last couple of matches. He is about on par with Hazelwood but Johnson and Harris are still in another league .... we really are blessed with good quicks right now.

England have the superior bowling attack on paper compared to India so it may be an interesting afternoon

Really?

We agree

You should know India are traditionally a batting side Bob

Ishant Sharma is the self proclaimed 'spear-head' of their attack FFS

I know Ishant and being a Delhi boy under the guidance of Sehwag, he's a good cricketer as some Aussie bunnies found out

It's not the logic that caught me eye..... well, I suppose it was......, the fact that you used it....

Well as i've told Bruce I don't follow the minnow teams, but they were winning games against some of the big teams and turning heads and I'm pretty sure it takes more than one stand out player to win matches. He was obviously one of their top players - but think there was also a guy who retired in recent years who was a good player too?? 12call??

[quote=Bettyboo;2944451]^ I think this group of players with this captain are more aggressive; they play exactly like they should have been for the last few years - Cook up the order is not good for modern one day games.../quote]

My goldfish is more aggressive than Cook Betty

If Graeme Hick had opted to play for England Zimbabwe would never have got Test status..... Oh Wait.....

Assistant coach to NSW.

Trent used to purchase his cricket bats from me when he played for the jews.

Hick was speed dialed into the English set up but still cannot play the short ball

Trent Johnson! Yep! That's him - too bad he wasnt a few years younger and had Morgan to build an Irish team to play test cricket! Faaark! Wouldn't the poms hate that!

Finch on his way after a poor shot - Ali get's a wicket

England 303/8 (50.0 ov)
Australia 76/1 (11.4 ov)
Australia require another 228 runs with 9 wickets and 38.2 overs remaining

Australia RR 6.51
Last 5 ovs 31/1 RR 6.20
Required RR 5.94
England RR 6.06

Hardly speed dialled, he had to complete a seven year qualification period......

He famously turned down an offer from New Zealand who only had a four year qualification period.

If he could use a coach door he may well have gone on to play for Australia.

^ Thanks, but we just think it's fairer if you have players from your own country in your team

It's still 5 as he was speed dialed into the English setup at the time.

Cameron White gone for duck. Really feel bad for him. Very talented and very unlucky. Game on!

A good start by the Convicts, 92-2. It's even at the moment, but I'd rather have the runs on the board...
