Wade will play. Opens for the Hurricanes in the BBL and is used to that role. It’s not a dead rubber anyway all these games count to get the best seeding in the next WC

India didn't need to 'hit out' or attack any more, the boundaries were flowing. They needed to do a better job at rotating the strike.
Tactically they were fine, they were still somewhat in the game with 20 overs to go and that is all you can ask for when chasing close to 400.

They were more than in the game when Kholi and Rahul were in, would have backed them going 12-13 an over in the last 10 with those two in. The issue is they really are lacking another batsman at 6-7. Their tail is ultra long for a ODI. Meanwhile the only one who isn't a great bat in our lineup is Hazelwood and he's no Bumrah or Chahal with the bat!

Enriques was really great with the ball for us. Also that catch was right off the top shelf.
I'm not one of his fans, but credit where it was due he was quite important to the result.

100%. Whilst I wanted Green, just didn't see the point. Henriques was a very good selection especially on that pitch.
Guess Cummins has to come out too, so just Warner and he out. Would replace Warner with Wade, a straight swap, as Stoinis won't be bowling and Wade is a better pure bat. Andrew Tye in for Cummins IMO. He has good variations and we saw how crucial they can be last night.

Rather play Abbott than Tye!
Could see Stoinis open, will play as a specialist batsman if required and has opened before
We saw how effective Pandya and Henriques were with the changes of pace. I think Tye is better than both of them so a handy inclusion

Abbott does that too. He’s a decent lower order bat which they will like too
Lot's of people do it, but Tye is much better than a lot of others at that part of the game. Abbott being on of them
I can just see India batting first and you have Tye and Starc bowling at the death, what is the world record ODI score?

Not internationally he’s not. Abbott is in the better form this summer too
Abbott is in better form. But I think Tye is a better short form bowler than Abbott, so therefore I would pick him ahead of Abbott. At the end of the day this isn't about me not wanting Abbott. I just want Tye ahead of him

I’d rather neither but if given the choice I would pick Abbott and it’s not close. Tye gets smashed internationally

Last ODI when England made over 400?
Hey maybe he’s worked on another knuckle ball that can get smashed for six lol
Next game is in Canberra anyway isn't it? Different pitch.
I have seen enough from Tye at this point, he can stick to beating up on BBL scrubs.

This! Every time Tye plays internationally he gets smacked! Why does anyone think it would change this time?

Ever the optimist Manuka is usually the flattest of all pitches

I thought that too - but if he has a rib injury - that could still be tough batting and throwing when in the outfield
