Hoping Morkel debuts today. Not that it means much, but re OP, he's considered a domestic signing because he's currently living in Australia.

[HBF]

Sneaky feeling the Gades might get up here.

 

[Plugger35]

Sneaky feeling the Gades might get up here.

They look stronger with Marsh opening and Finch at 3, Nabi is a loss for them though.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Really good bowling from Bartlett there.

 

[HBF]

Hmmm, I might change my mind.

 

[Plugger35]

And Marsh gone for a first ball duck, that was plumb.

 

[HBF]

They look stronger with Marsh opening and Finch at 3, Nabi is a loss for them though.

Is Finch actually playing?

 

[Plugger35]

Finch still not in, he must be trying to avoid the new ball.

 

[Maveric]

Surely with marsh out finch should come out, fair enough if it was Harvey out but wtf man you are meant to be one of the best top order white ball players in the world

 

[Cleavy]

Finch hiding in the middle order to play the Nabi hitting role?

 

[k31th]

Finch hiding in the middle order to play the Nabi hitting role?

it's the only explanation

 

[k31th]

plenty of time to experiment for the remainder of this season for the Gades

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Harper doesn’t care how he gets runs atm.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Finch hiding in the middle order to play the Nabi hitting role?

Nah, I like this. The season is already over, give the younger blokes a bit of exposure. Send the out there and see what they've got. Good experience for them. give them some responsibility.

 

[HBF]

Nice shot by Harvey.
The Freak would be happy with that one.

 

[HBF]

Good over for the Gades.

 

[corbies]

Finch played a few games for Australia in the middle order in NZ when we were playing Warner, Short, Lynn as our top 3 and I thought he did a great job. Got us home in the game where we chased 240 in a T20.

Might be trying to re-live it here.

 

[k31th]

nice one hander by Burns; just snaffled it

 

[HBF]

Catch!

 

[Jiggyman]

Nice one-hander

 

[Plugger35]

Great catch from Burns.

Surely Finch comes in now.

 

[k31th]

lol @ that appeal... missing leg by a foot
