[Pakenhamsaint]

Nice to see the crowd is flooding through the gates..........

 

[officialjc]

very strong batting lineup (without stokes as well) for england.

 

[Torz]

England's ODI side looks much stronger than their test side.

 

[smasha]

Got a bit of Sydney weather the past few days which has hampered the crowd.

 

[Temploar]

It's too cold for a cricket match.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

At the ground now, looking like a small crowd for today

 

[Big Bryza]

lol at being given a cap by a great like Pastings.

Batting ave of 27 and bowling ave of 29 in ODI cricket. Oh sorry, you dislike him because he's Victorian.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hastings was a very good ODI player. What’s the issue?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Do we really need the anthems for a an ODI?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Brown butterflies dancing in the sun ... when will this s**t get the arse?

 

[Temploar]

[Pakenhamsaint]

And everyone is sitting down for the anthems!

[Speck]

Do they really need the anthems sung from the roof?

 

[JG22]

[Pakenhamsaint]

Think she wanted her 5 minutes of fame. They never usually talk for that long

She get's more than enough fame given she does it for just about every major event at the G.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Why national anthems ffs. Just do the welcome to country and then play. No nationalistic bullshit.
