Can't have too much of a pop at starc but that was a poor shot. He just missed a straight one.

Burn Down Canberra posted:

I'm prepping dinner and I am just hearing wicket after wicket. Like the sort of batting lineup Australia has is prone to collapse. So the proper bats need to do better. Smith knicked out it happens and Warner lbw but Watson come on man. You are supposed to be a number 3.

Yeah I think Watson should take some responsibility for this collapse. He was in, that shot was awful, and the Kiwi seamers have just feasted on fresh batsmen since. Also I think this shows the folly of bringing Clarke into the side so quickly. The batting lineup is unsettled.

Very arrogant IMO. Clarke should not have come back against new zealand who are arguably (and making a strong claim) of being the best odi side in the world. Should have gone in with the same side that played England. Still might have blown us off the park mind but probably not as idiotic as this.
