Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-10-2017 (11-09-2017, 09:34 PM)malo link Wrote:haha.....yeah, I still have the odd complaint every year or so from my back these days as a reminder to what I used to make it do every summer week in week out for over 15 years !! It's ridiculous isn't it, at the end of the cricket season half these 16 years start running time trials over 5km and 10km on roads and footpaths for their local footclub! 4 overs is 500m of running on grass with effectively a javelin throw at the end of it! It's not uncommon for a javelin thrower to make 40 to 60 throws at training, that is 1200m of running for 60 throws alone without any other training. Quote:Javelin Throw Practice I posed this very question to a sports scientist and never got an answer! But it seems they actively promote an activity in one sport and limit it in another! Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - malo - 11-13-2017 Shield form....more questions than answers ! Wade failed again, as did Renshaw, Kawajah has nailed his spot down with a good 60 not out so far in a Qld batting collapse, George Bailey a lone 106 out of another Tassie batting collapse…..and Bancroft more runs again !!! And we’ll see how good Maxwell is…in first drop at 1-3 Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 11-13-2017 (11-13-2017, 05:12 AM)malo link Wrote:Shield form....more questions than answers ! Bancroft is looking more likely than any other at the moment Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 11-13-2017 As each day passes this is looking more and more like the two worst ever Ashes test teams to go head to head, lacking all endeavor and consistency. I'm just hoping they are so hopelessly bad together that the cricket comes out about square. ![]() Otherwise it's going to be a long pre-season! Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 11-13-2017 (11-13-2017, 05:59 AM)JonHenry link Wrote:Bancroft is looking more likely than any other at the moment Agree on Bancroft, reckon he will line up in the 1st test..was reading that the selectors are considering Cartwright at No 6. Lucky England dont have Stokes and their batting is flimsy though with Ali likely to bat 7 or 8 they do bat deep. Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - JonHenry - 11-13-2017 I think our side is considerably stronger than Englands. We win 5 nil. Our batting is not great, but much better than their bowling. Our bowling is seriously good. Their batting will get exposed Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 11-13-2017 Wonder if they'd be tempted to open the batting with him as well as keep. Be a tough ask but it's been done before and he's doing a good job of it at least at Shield level. We could then pick two batsman at 6 and 7, or an all-rounder at 7, or, if it's a flat track, an extra bowler. It opens things up alot. Probably not, as it is a tough ask, but I thought i'd throw it out there given Bancroft is doing a good job of it. Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 11-13-2017 Ellyse Perry at number 6, in better form than any of the other possibles, and she can send down a few tidy overs if need be too Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - ElwoodBlues1 - 11-13-2017 (11-13-2017, 07:09 AM)JonHenry link Wrote:I think our side is considerably stronger than Englands. Agree our bowling is much better especially at home...I'll go 4-0, though I think the games will be close as I expect their tail to provide nuisance runs. Their bowling consists of two bowlers only who are both ageing and I expect that to cost them..... Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 11-13-2017 Bancroft certainly pushing a strong case here. 76 not out and 86 last game against Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Lyon, now 140 not out against SA. They said if you put your hand up in these 3 games you'll be considered, I think they have to play him |
