lotharr posted:I think you'll find for most of the time the Australian team couldn't give a rats about what people think of them because it's honestly working a treat and why would they stop now. Being the nicest doesn't get you 5 WC trophys to sit in the governing bodys trophy room. The behaviour of Australia only comes up in the following circumstances really Australia beats India Its an Ashes years and the poms need to have a whinge about Australian cricket in the lead up Australia wins the world cup.

We just played them in a test series and there wasn't much said about mean Aussies.

A bit weird for people to have a go at Haddin for sarcastically clapping but loving Wahab for doing the exact same thing to Watson. I mean, nobody likes Watson and thats ok, but in the grand scheme of things both gestures are pretty harmless and shouldn't really be discussed in the same breath as racial abuse or physical violence which are both actually fairly rare occurrences. Cricket overall has a pretty decent track record when it comes to issues of race and violence compared to say, soccer or football.

I don't mind Lyon, he hasn't played a lot of cricket in England so I am not too sure how he will go, he obviously won't get the bounce he gets in Australia and doesn't really turn it. Lyon will get first crack and then Ahmed is the insurance policy. Bit worried about both Starc and Johnson in England to be honest, Johnson was borderline unplayable in the bad way last time around and Starc is unproven in test cricket if all else fails we can just call Cook a human being for 7 hours straight

I'm just being realistic. Unless he spent the world cup undergoing some sort of super-powerful hypnotherapy to flush the poo poo out of his head, he's not going to be occupying the crease for any expended period.

Lyon will get first crack and then Ahmed is the insurance policy. Harris/Hazlewood/Johnson and or Starc is a pretty decent looking attack. Johnson or Starc can come on and bowl a few overs at a time in bursts, plus there is probably going to be Watson/Marsh/Lyon there to soak up overs too.

Same but I don't know any of the non-internationals from India and I have no interest so hopefully this team I've picked goes on and wins the cup. Led by G Max of course.

I guess I'll be back April 13 then. Weren't England just in the Caribbean a couple of months ago? Looks like England are going to be playing non-stop all the way up to the Ashes. They really don't learn, do they?
