Cricket: International Discussion Thread

[Baxteen]

again the heat lost the game to themselves.

Stop 2 runs to prevent super over.
Sixers get 2.

Bowl a good over get a low target.
nope, Sixers get 22

ok send in Baz and get more than 22.
oh look they get 15.

Heat have no one to blame but themselves, and a large part of that sits on McCullum. poor bowling choises and bat shot selection in the super over.

well played to the Sixers.
that is the end of me watching BBL this season...

Anyone else watching the Warner and Head show?

Anyone else watching the Warner and Head show?

Following it on CricInfo. Quite a stand. Warner has the potential to go to the highest individual best score. He is a special batsman.

 

[Agent_Smith]

OMG, just opened Cricinfo now. :wtf:

400 on the cards here.

 

[pinball wizard]

Maiden 100 up for Head now.

I would love to see a team with Warner and QdK opening

Warner
de Kock
Kohli
de Villiers

Imagine that as a top four you have to bowl to

Scary lineup
Warner

Amla
Kohli
de Villiers
Dhoni

 

[Agent_Smith]

Going to take my previous post one step further and compile my ODI XI

1: Warner
2: de Kock (w/k)
3: Kohli (c)
4: de Villiers
5: Miller
6: Maxwell
7: Stokes
8: Jadeja
9: Starc
10: Rabada
11: Tahir

Probably up for debate though...

Hasan became the second Pakistan bowler to concede 100 in ODIs

2/100 in 9 overs. Ouch!

That's quite a form line-up. What I would pay to see this team in action

I cant argue that team at all. but we should make the team for them to play against. how about
1. Gale
2. Amla
3. Khawaja
4. Bairstow
5. MS Dhoni* (wk)
6. Jadhav
7. T.A. Boult
8. Darren Bravo
9 Carlos Brathwaite
10. Zampa
11. S.P. Narine

Swap Gayle for KP and I'll go with that.

You have my approval. KP adds tons more in the consistency column.

Darren Bravo? Perhaps not thinking of his brother Dwayne?

That line-up has potential, but it is too batsmen heavy. Boult and Braithwaite are your only seamers.

I'd drop Zampa for Shakib Al Hasan.

Drop Bravo for Southee.

Thoughts?

Maybe chuck in Steyn if he can stay in one piece of ten overs?

 

[Agent_Smith]

I initially had Chris Woakes (England). He would be a good pick. He's bowled really well on those roads in India.

 

[Baxteen]

I did not put much thought into the list, simply went for players that I liked I knew people would turn the list into something more competative, because the first team selected has all the number ones. best batsmen yup, all 3 of them. bowler? jup all 3 of them. allrounder? check.

and yes I ment the other bravo.

Good call. Forgot about him. On his day, easily as lethal as Warner.
