Oz v Eng first ODI...

Not even a first choice Aussie bowling attack either.

May as well just pack our bags and come home now, like shite are we doing anything in this World Cup.
 
Change the captain but still very poor. I must be the only person in the UK who does not rate Bopara. Another 13 runs and he will bowl 4 overs and get 1-38 or something. Looks to me that the wicket is not fast but no Tredwell.

Yeah I'd have Stokes or Ballance in ahead of him

People going a bit over the top here, obviously a bad start being 0/2, but couple of first ballers, it can happen. Still think the team has potential.

Another one here who doesn't rate Bopara. I wouldn't even have him in the Durham 50 team.

IF Finn played for a county outside of the M25 ring (Essex/Middlesex/Surrey), he would be nowhere near the England setup.

Haway easy, I still think we can score big runs in Australia, just a nightmare first over today, can happen

The big worry is the bowling, it looks so one paced, lacking speed, variation.

hoping to wangle members tickets for free otherwise it's only $40 in the same spot which is decent as that's also the only place where they sell decent (full strength) beer.
 
Yup, if Broad or Anderson retire or pick up long term injuries then we are well and truly bollocksed.

Where are the good young bowlers? Jordan and Woakes....:neutral:

I'd of taken Plunkett personally, he can take wickets and would offer something different. Rashid? He spins it the other way, slim pickings I know, but you need variety

I'd have mixed it up a bit and Plunkett is a decent shout (not sure what his fitness is like). Tredwell does nothing for me, likewise Finn. The selectors have their favs and that's entirely up to them but it's not a team I'd pay money to watch at the moment.
