Hopefully we look better than we did last week

The only way I see us winning is if Head or Maxwell have a day out. It's such an underwhelming squad.

bowling looks light...I thought Hardie bowled well in Sri Lanka with the new ball

If we make more runs than the poms we should be right ..

Just a bit of feedback for anyone interested here, I’ve signed up for icc.tv as per cats_09 list above and just watched a few minutes of SA vs AFG for test purposes in my accom in Hikkaduwa in Sri Lanka. Works a treat. Off to Mirissa tomorrow and it’ll be beers in the beach hut watching the cricket.

Many thanks cats_09,
BD

If England can't beat what will be a predominantly BBL all star team, they should hang their heads in shame. As that sanctimonious dickhead Baz is England coach, this is the group game I'd dearly like Australia to win.

it seems like they're banking on the pitches to spin, hence the part time options? not sure if that's necessarily how the opening games have played out?

Why are we favourites?

We've got this.

Ugh. Labuschagne

The only runs he'll get is if we dose him to the eyeballs with a laxative, but it won't make good viewing.

Not sure about anyone else but I don't really care about the Champions trophy.

that is a good point, but having used (and abused) amazons services it’s a pain to remove payment details.

And then you forget and you end up paying for a service you barely use.

Hello everyone...big game today

Both teams in bad form with the white ball

Reckon who ever wins the toss will most likely chase....I don't mind batting first go back to the fundamentals...but I do worry about our lack of bowling depth

Go Aussies !!!

Not if they're from a dodgy curry

Would you care if we had a good team?

Has JFM been dropped? big mistake he's due to tear the world apart.
