I'm sure someone will be arrange tickets for them all to watch it.


Ha,ha.

I know we joke on here quite a bit and run England down, but I for one would like to see England do well as long as it's not at the expense of the Aussies.
What does bother me however is the negative press and the ridiculous amount of negativity from ex players, particularly Boycot. Seriously why can't they just get behind the team and hope for the best.

The below comment (again it is Geoff Lemon's, this time from The Roar) reflects an undercurrent of feeling that has been around Aus for some time.

Of Australia’s last 30 ODIs dating back 18 months, Clarke has started in six and finished four. Bailey has captained 24 full games and two injury-blighted halves. Yet Clarke is apparently an automatic selection, landing Bailey with the indignity of turning up to captain’s press conferences to joke and smile about his own imminent dropping.

Not so much in support of Bailey, but in tiredness of the out again, out again that Clarke brings to the table.

I wonder if much of this sort of feeling is within the squad.

Add Joe Root to that list....

I think Ballance has been given enough chances. Drop him, and replace him with Bopara.

The bowling has been poor...give Chris Jordan a chance ahead of one of the run-trucks.

Are there seriously no games for two days and they could not find a way to reschedule Oz V Bangladesh? Cricket is surely way behind the times of modern sports.

Good point that WaughTwins.

It's only really one day without a game though, there's a late game tomorrow.

Wasn't Brisbane under water? Maybe a reserve day wouldn't have helped.

No, it wasn't that bad.
