1st ODI | Australia vs India @ SCG (13:20 local)

[Stig O'Hara]

Rayudu using his full 38 degrees.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

So what is everybody’ s opinion on Carey opening today and the ramifications of it on the rest of the batting order?

 

[Len Nicodemo]

I’m not watching now. In the waiting room at the doctors watching cooking on channel 10, but 2 for 96 is a decent position to build on.

Let me guess; severe hay fever, a sore throat / ear, or a blocked ear that needs to be unplugged?

I
Think he should give it away...

 

[Tugga27]

Should just go with a YOLO lineup

Short
Finch
Lynn
Maxwell
Stoinis
Wade

Not Wade, please.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Seems like you can bowl literally any spinner to Khawaja and he will either score at 2 an over or go out.

Based on the sides selection for todays game - no problem at all.

 

[Bad Horse]

These two doing a nice job of setting a platform that would have been great for a ODI about 1986.

 

[archibald]

Khawaja is not a one day batsman. For the past 3-4 years he has modelled his whole game on batting time in tests. Another inspired, well planned selection.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need 300 minimum.

We could ask India politely to let us win.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Tubby would be loving this, in all his years commentating on 9 he never seemed to get the idea that 250 wasn't a par score anymore.

 

[JimDocker]

Let me guess; severe hay fever, a sore throat / ear, or a blocked ear that needs to be unplugged?

A cold/chest infection/asthm that won’t go away

 

[Richard Pryor]

I can't believe Rayudu got away with 3 off an over with these parttime pies.

 

[crows dude]

This guy is a huge chucker

 

[Moonwatcher]

So what is everybody’ s opinion on Carey opening today and the ramifications of it on the rest of the batting order?

Wasn't it done to limit the ramifications on the rest of the batting order?

 

[BACCS]

Maybe it’s a principle issue too. My dad is 82, retired and lives comfortably. He could afford $25 but he shouldn’t have to. ODIs should be on FTA.

Why should they be?

Just waiting for Tom Moody to come in late and get us to 260.

 

[Bad Horse]

I cant believe he isnt called for playing darts instead of bowling.

 

[JimDocker]

At the last ODI World Cup, England went in with a game plan that was 20 years out of date because of total incompetence.

Australia right now are trying a few things in the build up to the World Cup with the knowledge that they have 2 world class batsmen to slip into the mix.

Don’t panic.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why should they be?

So that Australian's that aren't well off can watch. I was wondering why this thread was so slow, lots of people can't watch the game.

I bet on India so not panicking at all.

 

[RHLK]

That's some bowling action on Rayudu.

 

[Bad Horse]

Just waiting for Tom Moody to come in late and get us to 260.

Or Geoff Marsh upping the pace in the last couple of overs as his century beckons.

 

[Len Nicodemo]

A cold/chest infection/asthm that won’t go away

Probably a virul infection
