Australia/England/India Tri Series Jan/Feb 2015

[Making_Splinters]

Sledging is such a generic term. I've yet to meet a cricket fan who didn't chuckle at, "Mind the windows, Tino".

[Aidan11]

There have been some great sledges down the years.

I always laugh at Jimmy Ormond & Mark Waugh -

Waugh : You're not a test cricketer.

Ormond : At least I'm the best player in my family.

Eddo Brandes and the biscuit takes the biscuit.

A fan of India could be excused for thinking that Australia don't want to play them in the final.

Mitch1 wasn't played due to hamstring tightness(? - or was it just tiredness?), Hazelwood due to a sore heel. Warner was rested due to hamstring tightness, Bailey was suspended for over slowness. Now Twatto is being rested due to hamstring tightness.

I think FTS might get selected before me, but at least I am within a couple hours drive to Hobart......

I thought there was a game today for some reason.

I have been thinking that today was Friday, and yesterday Thursday. Wishing the long weekend here, I suppose.

I'm just wishing January away.

1 Aaron Finch, 2 Shaun Marsh, 3 Steven Smith (capt), 4 Cameron White, 5 Glenn Maxwell, 6 Brad Haddin (wk), 7 Moises Henriques, 8 James Faulkner, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Pat Cummins, 11 Xavier Doherty.

Cricinfo's suggested Aussie team doesn't look familiar.

I like sledging and wish the stump mikes were turned up. The commentary team get to hear everything but not the viewers.

Speaking of stump mic, it is 25 years this year since they were first used.

[KipperJohn]

Massive difference between witty banter and something said with vicious intent.

As an example being told to '++++ off just isn't acceptable in my book.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Some England players have a habit of talking with their hands over their mouths, so lip readers can't work out what they say. Pretty grubby.

I prefer to see a bit of continuity in a team, rather than 3-4 changes. Not that it really matters.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bailey's banned and Warner and Watson are being called as injured.

Injured? Both have mouth ache, I presume?
