Wow what a score line to wake up to
Jesus just saw this result. Is this what weâve come to now?
Never understood the Tye selection. Heâs not a kid theyâre getting games into (like Richardson and Stanlake), heâs 31 and heâs had barely any top level cricket. If youâre going to pick an older guy at least send one with a bit more cricket behind him.
T20 has cranked up ODIs.

thatâs embarrassing
Was just about to say this
Weâre auditioning a few guys and trying a few different things in a meaningless off-season tour. Who cares?

Exactly. Missing our front line bowling attack and trying new players/positions in the order.
When Boof was coach he made the point several times that the 4 years between WCâs are purely auditions and practice and they were not too fussed about results. Although not deliberately trying to lose games the side would often do some âquestionableâ things to find out how players coped under different circumstances. I have full confidence we will be around the mark when the WC rolls around

That just shows the format is a waste of time
From WA - what is there to get?
400 is the new 300
Tye is one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, with ODI becoming increasingly âT20-fiedâ bowlers with his skillset are invaluable, there arenât many in Australia with them.
Pretty much is. I think the end game will be that the 50 over games are just WC only with a few games thrown in each tour. Reckon domestically it will be gone in a few years time
7/Foxtel/CA putting it behind a paywall signifies this and will help expedite it
They werenât picking his slow balls which made him hard to play. I havenât watched any of this series, but by the looks of his figures, the English batsmen are picking him. If this is the case, heâs done, even if he was born in WA.

6 of the 11 that played from WA. Good to see a grand Australian cricketing tradition continue: who you know, not what you know.

T20 and ODI are still very different, T20 you can use variations to greater effect because the bats are coming at you harder. Sometimes your only bowling 1 over spells and batsmen have to hit from the get go.
ODIs still has room for a bowler vs batsman contest, you get more overs to work on a player, your spells are longer and the batter has time to get himself in if he needs it.
He needs more tricks to be a good odi bowler he canât get on by variations alone

True, havenât seen the game donât know if they were picking him consistantly or not; but he was one of the best bowlers in the IPL, and having variety in the bowling lineup is important. He does need to find a way to be more damaging with his stock ball though.
Agreed, Tye will always be better at the death in ODI games when they are in T20 mode, heâd also be more effective if those batsman were under more pressure.
Also Nottingham is a batsmanâs paradise isnât it? The 444 against Pakistan was also there wasnât it? Any reason why we chose to bowl?
Could be played with a tennis ball and still unacceptable to give up that many runs

If we used duct tape on the tennis ball we still wouldnât be able to swing it
