I'm enjoying the attacking approach of the top sides but I think it may have gone too much in the '20/20' direction
Scoring at 6 an over is fine unless you are losing a wicket every 2.5 overs.... |

Scoring at 6 an over is fine unless you are losing a wicket every 2.5 overs.... even when most teams would consolidate and try and build a partnership after losing a couple of wickets, even if it meant going along at 3-4 runs per over, australia would just back the depth in their batting and keep going for it on days like today they lose i think alot it comes down to whether you are batting first or second tho, if you are setting a target, especially at a high scoring venue, then you probably have to take the risk of maintaining the positive approach, as just batting through and setting 275 means you will probably lose anyway. batting second however like australia were today there was no need to be so aggressive after losing a couple of quick wickets and they probably needed to be a bit more savvy about the game situation than they were. |

I agree , especially having a Plan B when chasing if you get off to a poor start

Just watching the U-19 game and they put up a list of previous winners
We have only won it once in 1998, so I have looked up the team to see how many I would know from the final team Peters Key Franks Shah Swann Schofield Haywood Napier Powell Wilton Logan I remember all the batsmen but only Napier from the quicker bowlers I'm sure there's a reason why the quicks seem to disappear or is it that they are just more susceptible to injury |

I am not sure why mankad is bad sportsmaship, whilst a batsman that clearly edges it and stands his ground isnt. Think Broad against the Aussies. Although nearly every player would stand his ground. There arent any "walkers" left in the game. How is that not bad sportsmanship?
Its within the rules, so tough if you are mankad. Also dont agree with giving the batsman warning. The batsman knows, he could be mankded. Whats next, the bowler to give the batsman that he is about to bowl an outswinger, yorker, short ball? |

Might be that at that age group size and physical ability might determine which lads get picked, ie the relatively big fully developed ones
But as time goes on the less physical guys from their age group catch them up and then talent is more important than size same thing happens in football.........watch international schoolboy games, the England team will be full of lads with beards and hairy legs but once the others catch them up then they have to compete on the basis of talent and most of them fade away |

Everything you say is correct but I think the point is being missed that cricket has always had a 'proper way' of doing things The warning is part of this heritage I know things move on but I think we are losing what makes cricket special As the saying goes....it's just not cricket ! |

Trouble with these long One day series.
There will be lots of changes - even more so after a tough test series and a T20 World Cup to come. |

i am just not keen on the balance of that batting lineup , lots of strokeplayers but root is the only one that really provides any stability

Anyone saying the batsman is cheating hasn't played any cricket before.
I think to cover all match situations the bowler should then have the option to ball the bowl again or not. |

100 up already in just the 14th over
going along at almost 8 per over sad that it took a debacle like last years world cup for england to realise this was the approach required to one day cricket |
