Let’s just all be thankful McDud isn’t playing

Good luck Coops

He was on a hiding to nothing in the Test match when he batted. I’d reckon he was told to have a dash.

Amazing how many excuses can be made for certain players. It was one of the worst debuts ever.

But he is a talent, good luck to him tonight!

Be surprised if he opens...Reckon he'll slot in at 6 or 7

he's listed as opener on the team sheet...

Both teams picking just 2 pace bowlers with the rest of their bowlers spinners, that tells you a lot about how the pitch will play.

NZ made the mistake of picking 3 pace bowlers in their game against India, although Henry was our leading wicket taker with 5.

Not sure it matters much what we put out.

This event was put on for India. If they had any class they would have forfeited instead of making everyone play them in another country

It would be quite funny if we beat them though.....

Commentators seemed to confirm that Head and Connelly will be opening just now.

Really would be. They'll be rabid on social media

Smith did at the toss

Feels like we've played them a lot more than that.

Averaging 3 ODI matches a year with a few washouts sounds about right.

Well, the BCCI does run world cricket after all, and everyone kowtows to them......

Does in some way minimise the loss of Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood as only two of them would have played.

Australia's anthem is a banger if we're being serious.

 

[010203]

I don't get particularly invested in cricket outcomes but c'mon Australia! Heck, I'd prefer England to win this tournament instead of India such is my annoyance at the advantages they've had in the last 2 ICC events.

 

[Cataholic]

A lot of empty seats again.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Johnson out for Sangha is a good move.

 

[dogs105]

I think Connolly is a great young Western Australian and will do very well in this game.

 

[Doggy]

Indians are brilliant with their catch cry... "India India India India india"

They'd be ODI matches I suspect. You'd be hard pressed to find a year this century where Australia and India didn't play each other.

They need to add some oi oi oi's in there.

Runrate infinity good start

Gee whiz

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yeah, India's experience with the pitch is going to be a big advantage here.
