Message: [QUOTE="Bull Shark, post: 3684421, member: 7690"] one or two maybe, tops… vast majority of our dismissals once again looked like impatience or incompetence.. This insistence by Australia on going super hard early is so flawed imo.. in 50 over cricket there is so much value in setting a foundation from which to really up the scoring in the final 15-20 overs.. What’s the use in being 3-50 off 7 overs in the vast majority of matches? It just places all the pressure and responsibility on your middle order and bowlers to do the heavy lifting, and even just to ensure you bat out the 50 overs.. So many of our big scores in ODI cricket over the decades were built on positive but proper batting early on, keeping wickets in hand and scoring at 8-10 runs an over in the final 15-20 overs.. But hey, these guys know best.. I guess getting rolled for 160 on a pancake in Adelaide is all worth it for that one-in-a-blue moon time it all works out and we score 400 [/QUOTE]
