Australia vs Pakistan (Tests and ODIs)

[Jay]

I don't think that's conclusive either. Think we need to change how the 3rd umpire interprets DRS.

That could've easily just been his boot scraping on the ground.

agreed, something has to be done. I hope we don't get to a point where the keeper scrapes his foot along the ground when the ball passes the bat *goes straight to WCS*

THERE IT IS!

Finally, now they can get on with telling me how many BBL stars they are pinching for some ODIs.

Domestic T20 > International ODI  :P

Jackson Bird with 4 catches as a sub is the equal highest in a match  :)

What is the record for the number of catches taken by a bowler in an innings?

Australia ODI squad: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Pat Cummins, James Faulkner, Travis Head, Josh Hazlewood, Usman Khawaja, Chris Lynn, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Billy Stanlake, Mitchell Starc, Matthew Wade, Adam Zampa

Stanlake  :-\

No Finch either.....Well on the plus side at least I can still use him in D6's  :P

Id feel like ??? Is the appropriate emoji for Stanlakes selection. They only did it to stop any chance of Adelaide being a chance in the BBL...

flowering great ::) they have 80% of the players didn't that good enough?? They don't even draw excessively huge crowds to warrant a 2nd test. If the SCG was filling up and people couldn't get to the game then they'd have a point to schedule a 2nd.

Couple of interesting facts emerging today.

1. Josh Hazelwood will be rested for Fridays ODI
2. Renshaw not guaranteed to tour India - Shaun marsh still being considered given his last innings in Sri Lanka.

If anything I'd book Renshaw for India and reconsider Warner going (who averages 25 in India at a SR of 50 and 38 overall away from home). Renshaw's ability looks like it would stand up in India, while Marshy averages 46 away (vs 34 at home) and yes as you said he was great in SL.

The team I would go with would be
1-5: SMarsh, Renshaw, Ussie, Smith, Handscomb (wk)
6-7: two of Agar, Patterson, Turner, Cartwright, MMarsh, etc - decent lower order batsman who can bowl, or a solid #6 - I'd go with Agar and Turner, but bias
OR
6-7: Agar, Wade (wk) if they don't want to chance Handscomb
8-11: Starc, Hazlewood, Bird, SOK/Zampa/Swepson

Seeing as Warner and Lyon are the #2 and #3 faces of Aus cricket I doubt it would happen, but it would be smart to do so.

if they don't take Renshaw I riot

Thanks Bill Manspeaker was going to say the same thing but thought might be Queensland Bias.  :)

Here is the extract from article I was referring too quoting Boof.

Coach Darren Lehmann said nothing was being taken for granted and he had an intense boot camp planned for his players in Dubai next month. He has already flagged changes are possible.

Renshaw made 184 in Sydney, but proven subcontinental specialist Marsh is back in the mix and selectors are keeping an open mind about the side that will take the field for the first Test in Pune from February 23.

“It’s hard to leave a bloke who made 180 out of the side, but we’ve done it before with Shaun Marsh,” Lehmann said, in reference to when Marsh was dropped for last year’s Boxing Day Test after making a big hundred against the West Indies.

“That’s going to be a really difficult call. He’s a good young kid and you’re trying to give (Renshaw) as much experience as you can.

“The only way to get better is by playing so that’s the challenge with weighing up the balance to the side in India.

“(Marsh) was exceptional the last Test in Sri Lanka so he’s a real chance.”
