First ODI looking like a dud.
Windies 4 down after 15 overs
A 3rd test instead of these 3 ODIs would have been better in hindsight.

One of those series on pay TV only, so largely unwatched and uncared for anyway.

Whenever someone gets a pair I'm always reminded of Marvin Attapattu. Started with career with 5 ducks in his first 6 innings including two pairs and one a single run.
He went on to have a pretty handy career. Maybe we gave up on Ian Colquhoun too soon!
Mark Waugh got four in a row and they called him Audi. Pretty amazing they persevered with him after that
During that era, it was often harder to get out of the team than into it.

...and that is why ODI are dying. Once you lose a bunch o'wickets, the game is basically done.
T20 holds interest until way closer to the actual finish.This sucks, as I like ODI more than T20, but appreciate I am not paying the broadcaster bills
-
it's not ODI cricket's fault the Windies are hopelessly outmatched. They don't have the batting to compete with the Aus bowling. They've been humped in all 3 games.
If they set Aus 85 in a T20 they are getting humped equally as quickly.

Not sure I agree. One bad over in T20 can ruin your night.

What’s disappointing is that fans would’ve paid good money to watch 100 overs or thereabouts.
The teams should’ve played a t20 game for fun to give the fans something! -

And it was hardly our best lineup of bowlers.

Your depth in pace bowling is fucking insane at the moment

I remember the Wold XI game in Hamilton where we rolled them so they played a 20-over

It's Canberra. They'd just be happy to have something to do.

My point is that it's rare before two thirds of a T20 is completed that it's not worth watching. So maybe a dozen overs left to play?
ODI can have a team deep in trouble, struggle to a mediocre total and then the opposition limp over the line. That can have hours of dead rubber play -like last night, with more runs.
I don't mind disagreeing on this, but it's the duration that costs ODI. Better game than T20, but if it goes wrong, it can be dire for a long time

Even the players are disinterested in the t20 series

Are Aussie planning on a a four day Boxing Day test this year?
Announcement of Chick's test starting on 30 Dec is like the 5th day of a Boxing Day test right?
26th Day 1
27th Day 2
28th Day 3
29th Day 4
30th ... err Day 5 or Day 1?AM I missing something?
My very quick skimming of the story did not detect any mention of how they avoid the clash .just have to assume they're confident of a 4 day result, or I've missed it completely ...
