500 batting first?


Recommended Posts

That would be a sad day for cricket. The barometer for what is a good score in 50 overs is fast becoming a function of the quality of bowlers in your side and less to do with the opposition, pitch, conditions, batsmanship etc. If you have a Starc or Boult in your side 250 looks tough to chase. Four clones with no variation or pace and suddenly 350 isn't enough.

I prefer option B: Clarke OUT OF THE TEAM! :two_thumbs_up: why do you hate clarke he is good batsmen and gun captain would have loved if he was an indian

Don't hate him in test cricket. Hate changing the ODI side for a bloke who is clearly unfit. Clarke has one of the biggest ego's in Australian cricket, every bloke knows it, it is half the reason Lehmann was brough in, he has been able to calm Clarke's ego down somewhat. However his ego has still allowed him to claim he was fit in the 1st test against India, against Pakistan in the UAE series (playing unfit) and in the ODI against India. I blame him, but for the record I blame CA medical staff as well. Honestly, I would have picked Shaun Marsh. In form and a gun short form cricketer. Bailey is fine too. We don't need Clarke waltzing in at 60% fitness.

Aus or SA... No other team has hitters all through their line up to score 500
Actually only Aus has it... first 3 for SA are not hitters ****, Amla, FaF are not hitters. They start slow.. Only Australia can do that from a word go..

Bit too unrealistic. I think 450 is doable. India could get this if Dhoni and Raina in form. Dhawan would need to go ballistic like Viru with Kohli batting quick too. Rahane relegated to below Dhoni and Raina :cantstop:

wi against India.. Gayle' date=' Smith, Samuels, Russell, Ramdin, Sammy :(( :(([/quote'] Rohit alone equal to 4 of them.

500 in an ODI? No way! You have to absolutely ballistic up front to manage that kind of total.. something like 220-2 after 20 overs.. very few teams can manage that.
