I thought you could only bowl 1 bouncer per over in ODIs?
Define bouncer though.
Most of what Wagner bowls for example aren't "bouncers".
Rib cage height = fine
Over shoulder but below head = bouncer
Over head = no ball -

Interesting comment from a BBC commentator that the Windies players are so used to T20, they may be susceptible to fading away after 20 overs or so.

Well i got up at 5am and flicked the cricket on. Windies were 252/6 needing 38 from around five overs. Should have been a doddle. Holder was on 50 odd. Next thing they're 256/9 and only had one over to go. Pathetic from the tail. Game over now and Nurse has just hit three fours from the last three balls of the innings. Loss by 15 runs. But Nurse was 2 from 12 prior to that! The lower order basically did NOTHING for 3-4 overs. So many dot balls from Starc and Stoinis. Hard to watch. Opportunity badly thrown away.

Aus will be well pleased with that win. Dug themselves out of a massive hole and got it done against a side that could well go on to topple some other big names.

I'm noticing a distinct lack of Marshes in the Aus team. Where are they? Think we need to petition to have them re-instated.

These two facts are directly related

good win that. When i saw the score i assumed Smith had gone very big, very surprised to see that wasn't the case.
With Starc and Cummins around, they are going to be tough to beat, and it appears they bat very very deep.
Fucking Australia...

Shaun should be playing instead of Khawaja

Anyway - shit start from our guys as the Windies pace attack breathed fire and pissed lighting. Couple of stupid/lazy shots didn't help, but some of that short bowling looked golden age stuff.
Except for the 24 wides. That stuff will lose you games, particularly the leg side 5W. They got progressively worse with their line, then once they fixed that, their length went to shit.
Jeez there was some good catching from the Windies in close (Waj) and out on the fence (Smith). And some fucking awful efforts in dropping or misjudging catches from Smith or Coulter-Nile.
I was expecting to lose TBH but Smith playing better than all those booing fluffybunnies could ever dream off, and Nathan NCL giving it the yeah-nah-fuck-this treatment and showing the top order what they should have been doing.
Finch fucked up.
Warner fucked up.
The Waj fucked up.
Maxi fucked up.We still won.
Mostly because NCL's 92, but the pressure bowling - once we figured out short bowling doesn't work - won the game.
