Australian sports are jokes. When are we going to stop wasting all of our great athletes on AFL/NRL?

We just drew to fucking Saudi Arabia 1-1 and could struggle to get to Russia 2018.

Doesn't this bother you?

Don't you want to succeed in a tournament people outside of Australia/New Zealand have heard of?

It's fucking pathetic Australia, We all know Soccer is going to be the only sport played in the entire world in 20 years, so why bloody delay it?

We should start the next generation on soccer only, otherwise we're always going to be shit like this.

Go buy a season ticket for your local A-league team when they come up for sale, Support your local kids clubs, convince your kids, nephews, cousins, neighbours kids to start playing the wonderful game and maybe, just maybe, Australia will know that GLORIOUS feel of hosting a world cup and doing well in it.

It literally is not. Australia in this context clearly refers to the national mens team. Playing for Australia U19 would be a better claim than fucking Australia A.

Mind sharing some of those algorithms, statistical analysis and calculations?

As far as I see it, Bangladesh are the same or worse than they were at the 2015 WC (they are better with The Fiz, but he isnt playing) and England are better beyond measure.

As for the "grey matter" in your brain, I'll take that to mean you read on cricinfo that absolutely meme record of Bangladesh being ""undefeated"" for 2 years. Who have they even played in that time? I'm sure if I bothered to check it'd be a run of Windies, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. Something like that. They sure as fuck have not beaten any of the Pig 3.

Thanks for the info captain obvious, everyone in the country is aware of that, having ten fucking surgeries on both his knees, he's almost on the verge of being handicapped. Mashrafe only plays to this day because he is unironically the best captain we've ever had and he's the one who keeps the team together. The amount of respect and love he has from our countrymen, he's only second to the fucking prime minister.

>Aren't they ditching the WACA once the new Perth stadium is built?
They will use the new venue for all relevant matches, ie BBL Ashes/India Tests etc

The WACA will unironically still exist and be used for marquee fixtures such as ODIs against Afghanistan, New Zealand and Rwanda.

Perth has a bigger population than Sadelaide and they are filling out their ground. The Perth venue is only a little bit bigger.

whats happening with Subiaco after the new stadium is built?

>>71728819
dunno, I don't think AFL have made a deal with local government on the stadium yet.
It'll probably be demolished like the waste of space that it is
>>
>>71728833
I dont know much about Perth, but it seems like they have a fucking shit legacy plan. A new stadium that is out of the way and two grounds they dont have a clue what to do with

Why didnt they just knock down Subiaco and build the new stadium on the old site?
>>
>>71728867
because there isn't enough space there

the new stadium is part of the foreshore redevelopment and city link plan, so it's not going to be out of the way at all in 20 years.

>>71730451
what's it say lad
>>
>>71730432
well it is a completely different team now, obviously.

i suppose it just depends on the year and the talent you get. Im just saying conceptually I like the idea because hopefully it can help close the gap between shield and grade cricket which has become a bit of a problem over the last few years. The idea being that when a spinner like Nair does step up to state level cricket regularly, he is more prepared to endure rather than just get smashed which has happened to plenty of other young spinners like Boyce and Zampa over the last few years.

>>71731242
its no secret that south asians are the most unathletic race on the planet. They are abysmal at all sports that require athleticism. I have a theory that one of the reasons cricket picked up in Asia is because its such a skill based sport so they can succeed in it despite being athletically nowhere.

Even in cricket, they traditionally excel in the two areas that require minimal athleticism (batting and spin bowling) and stink at the two which do (fast bowling, fielding). Pakistan are the only real exceptions to that and theyre genetically a bit different (though id say its more cultural)

Havent seen alot of him (literally this game) but his batting is quite similar to Morgan. Plays a lot of reverse sweeps and even his stance looks similar.

>>71731889
Right, I've seen plenty of him.

He is absolutely elite in Asia to the extent I'd say he is the second most effective seam bowler in Asia after Starc.

The reason he is elite in Asia is because his cutters are elite as fuck. If he got a go on Nagpur he'd basically be Jadeja bowling @ 135 kph.

But for that reason I have my doubts he'd be any good outside of Asia. Should be a good homebabby tho

>>71748992
Australia is the only team with the tools to do it (decent bats, great bowlers). As you said, England don't have any bowlers coming through. But Australia is miles from that status. Need another opener (RIP PJH). Need a Voges replacement and need a wicketkeeper. A captain with a brain would also help. Lots of holes, cant really see them becoming great unless Cummins goes 3 years without an injury (lol) and a couple of decent youngsters step up.

> also was the south african team with smith, kallis steyn etc ~great~
Not even close. They lose at home, twice, to one of the weaker generations of Australian cricket.

>>71749672
Yeah dont think Warner has heaps left. Maybe 3-4 years absolute tops. He is purely a hand-eye babby. Has absolutely zero technique. Basically the Australian Sehwag and we all remember what happened to Sehwag once he got to about ~33

Behind Usman and SMarsh he is THE most technical batsmen in Australia

>>71749710
Literally what. He has minimal footwork. He basically stands still and swings. he is the definition of a talent-babby. This is why he is complete shit against spin. This is why he is mostly shit in England (though he did show admirable determination to adapt, unlike most of the other batters). This is why he is god-tier on roads and bouncy pitches in particular.

Thats why I said Warner reminds me of Sehwag. Not because of their strikerates or that shitty IPL quote Chappelli loves to recount every 5 minuts, but because they both basically stand still and swing.

>>71749714
Why are you quoting? Because it sure as fuck isnt me

Chanderpaul was a very technical player. He was not 'textbook' technical, but he had a method that worked for him. I place Smith in the Chanderpaul category and I think Smith will last alot longer than Warner. Smiths technique is aesthetically awful, but it is actually very effective in allowing him to manipulate the field and forcing the bowler to change his lines. That is an attribute independent of his reaction time and spatial judgement so I can easily see Smith playing into his mid/late 30s.
>>
>>71749770
>Smiths technique is aesthetically awful
Mate his leg glance gives me an instant semi
>>
>>71749770
You're fucking retarded, that's more of a maxwell thing if anything.

Warner isn't a talent babby in the slightest. Every single shot he plays has been rehearsed time and time again. He literally spends hours doing nothing but shaving 1 mm off his drive follow through. Every shot he plays is straight out of a textbook, even if it lacks the flair of a guy like Usman. That's what makes him so good, he knows exactly what shot to play and has the execution down to a science.

>>71749790
Smith playing anything but straight shots is great, I love his cuts in particular.
>>
Smith's technique works fine because he plays so late.

I mean you would slap a kid who was trying to bat like that but it's not a poor technique.
>>
How the fuck does smith even learn to play like that. Katich too, he had the same meme shuffle.

Guys like Chanderpaul, Thomson and Bradman developed meme techniques because they lived in the middle of nowhere and taught themselves how to play without any coaching. Katich went to a posh all-boys school right next to the WACA and Smith grew up in modern NSW which has the best training and coaching facilities in the entire cricketing world. You'd think they'd have been taught how to play properly from an early age.

Katich developed the meme shuffle after getting dropped from the team in 2005.

He did it on purpose to correct an issue in his technique and it worked.

I get a hard on when he plays his meme swats, swipes and flicks etc. Now that shit is pure talent and has nothing to do with his technique

He did it far more regularly during his meme allrounder days when he used to have Maxwells role
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ELEdRNayJs

>>71749796
Eh you're not really understanding what I'm referring to when I talk about technique.

You seem to define technique by how well a batsmen can clone a Mahela Jayawardene cover drive or display a Rahul Dravid-esque discipline in leaving the ball outside the off-stump. Basically the absolutely retarded cliche of "textbook" technique which doesn't seem to have any real meaning.

I give technique its loosest possible definition. That is, simply an effective way of executing a task. Bradman had the opposite of the type of technique you are shilling and he was the best ever. Chanderpaul and Smith and very very technical players and were/are both world class. Sangakkara was very technical in a different way.

Warner doesn't really have any definable methodology other than stand still and swing. With Smith, I can describe to you how he holds his bat with a very, very dominant bottom hand grip and then tries to bait the bowler into bowling at his pads by shuffling across the stumps. Its unorthodox, but its very technical. Warner... just swings

>That's what makes him so good, he knows exactly what shot to play and has the execution down to a science.
On this point I simply disagree. He plays a raft of comically laughable shots. He doesn't do it as frequently as Maxwell, but he does it plenty still. His one redeeming quality is he tends to pull enough of them off courtesy of his talent before he fucks one up. This ratio will worsen as he ages.
>>
Ironically on the very few occasions when Maxwell isn't premeditating his shots there are glimpses that his coaches gave him the foundation of a good technique
>>
>>71749917
He is particularly good against spin. Unironically one of the best players of spin in Australia. Too bad he cant last 3 overs before he attempts a reverse helicopter shot otherwise he could have 40 Test caps by now
>>
>>71749949
Fortunately one of the few better players of spin, Handscomb has his head screwed on properly.

Needs to be in the test time this summer and in India.
>>
>>71749893
He literally does have an """effective way of executing a task""" and he's very good at it.
His dumb stuff is entirely brain farts on his part, that doesn't amount to Pio technique.

>>
>>71749978
Not sure why you are pushing Handscomb so much. He is a decent player but he isnt Test standard
>>
>>71749996
Because the key to any sort of success in India is finding guys who can stay in an build partnerships.

Handscomb is in our best team for India and someone Smith and Marsh can bat with.

Fuck him off when it comes to England though.

He's also a better batsman than Burns and Khawaja

>He's also a better batsman than Burns and Khawaja
I agree, but just because they are woeful doesn't make Handscomb great

I'd unironically go with Head. The thing about picking a team in Asia is, you sort of have to punt on it. Looking at Shield form is a bit pointless. There are quite literally next to 0(zero) good spinners in the Shield (SOK closest thing to it) and the pitches are almost uniformally roads. So what is the point of looking at that as an indication of who may succeed in India? That is why they are grooming Head, because he is widely considered one of the best players of spin in Aus even tho his Shield form has been inconsistent.
>>
>>71750060
you can't be serious about playing head in a test

the guy has zero patience and just slogs at everything, it's why it took him fucking forever to make a first-class century

I would unironically prefer maddinson in the team over head
>>
>>71750073
its not something I can backup with any sort of evidence to say this is a good idea. As I said, its a punt.

its also something I wouldnt be surprised if it actually happened. I just hope we dont have another situation where a Khawaja scores a truckload of runs on the WACA highway and gets picked for India because of it

Nah. Chinaman is the worst type of bowling to get good at.

It's why pretty much all of Australia's chinamen bowlers ever used to be batsmen because anyone in junior cricket as a specialist chinaman is going to get dropped

didnt say it was the worst type but yeah thats probs even worse

>>
>>71750470
Exactly. You have all the lack of control of a leg spinner but your stock ball is spinning the wrong way to trouble right handed batsmen.

Off Spinners also spin it the wrong way but at least they have control.
>>
>>71750424
can't blokk the kokk

>>71750480
no one gets dropped for a lack of control as a spinner in junior cricket mate
if you land the ball on the pitch and can actually turn it then you're better than 99.95% of bowlers

>>71750492
They fail to make district teams which are the teams you have to make to actually ever get into grade cricket let alone further.
>>
>>71750492
spin bowlers that is
>>
>>71750480
shit this is true.

i'm gonna have to reconsider what i said about sla desu(was jokign abut herath tho any way really), but for some reason they just always opt to be wide of the crease darty bowlers rather than loopy, big turners. in theory a left armed graemme swann COULD exist and would be deadly af, just hard to envisage tho because we just dont see it
>>
>>71750497
They're just rare because wrist spin is needs a particular kind of hand to work properly. That's why leg spinners are much rarer than off spinners, not ""control"". When you add left handedness into the equation they're even less frequent.
Spinners in general aren't common in junior district teams. Kids can't bowl spin properly since they're raised playing on artificial pitches and with balls that barely grip. The only spinners you tend to see are part time off-spinners who can't turn the ball and just get wickets by flight and their slow pace. I was literally selected for district and my school's first XI purely because I was one of the few that could actually spin the ball, despite being a fucking spastic with the bat and in the field and bowling a wide every other over.
>>
>>71750585
addendum: obviously an off spinner will have more control, but I'm talking about district cricket here. Where you put the ball doesn't matter at that age group if you can turn it and keep it legal.
>>
Fact: Statistically, the Australian Snake population is most active in the month of October. As of now, the amount oft snakes on the continent has surpassed the number of the human populace, for every Australien citizen, four deadly snakes exist, with numbers still believed to be growing exponentially.
>>
>>71750577
>>71750577
dart bowling works well on Asian wickets.

The wickets break down and introduce variation. The typical Australian spinner they send out their (bar O'Keefe who would be well suited for it) gets carried away trying to spin it a mile but that doesn't trouble a batsman who knows it will spin anyway.

With the darts sometimes it does end up turning and even the amount it turns varies because of how it lands. And sometimes it doesn't turn at all. Look at the Australian dismissals in the Sri Lankan series.
A majority of Herath's wickets were getting batsmen out because they were playing for spin that wasn't there.
