Was that the game Kevin Mitchell came onto the ground started removing the stumps while Umpire ? McConnell looked on incredulously? Kev said ''you got 2 minutes to piss off the ground''

Yep that's the game. If Kevin Mitchell (Snr) is out on the ground, you better get off.

Pity his son became such a twat.

Australian selectors never learn. Pick players in form. Ashton Turner has hit them like a campaigner lately. And how the hell do you leave Maxwell at home with the form he's in. Never mind picking Zampa and Agar who are both spuds.

Zampa and Agar are both good in limited overs cricket, rubbish in the long form. Zampa has bowled well and got the wicket of Kohli.

I'm not a fan of picking players in ODIs on the back of T20 form, espcially BBL. Maxwell was poor in the WC and didn't do a whole lot in the Marsh One-Day Cup either so I'm comfortable with him not being there. Turner should probably consider himself lucky.

His figures made to look better after we took wickets in the middle overs. He goes at sixes, has very little in the way of deception and over pitches way too often. He's no good, we just don't have anyone better.

Zampa averaged 25 in our last 5 match ODI series in India, and took the wicket of the Kohli today. He’s obviously good or he wouldn’t have these figures against the best players of spin. Can you please back up this evidence that he ‘goes for sixes’?

Has taken the wicket of Kohli 4 times in ODIs now and twice in T20Is.

It's right there in his stats. An economy rate of 5.71 across his career. And a strike rate of 38. And you are sold on the fact that he has got the wicket of Kohli a few times. Which is on the back of Kohli seeing him as an easy taget and trying to get after him. Zampa is also rubbish in the field.

Zampa is average at ODIs but we don't have any other decent spinner. It's basically him or an equally average Lyon.

Agar is badly out of form, surprised we played him

Exactly what I said. Completely agree. While clearly not a popular opinion, I'd rather play Maxwell and eek overs out of him and Marnus. At least Agar can bat a bit.
As an aside, whoever owns the Kolkata Knight Riders must be thinking they got a bargain with Cummins.

1/154 to 255 all out. Good recovery

Overall, a very good bowling performance helped by some soft dismissals. Rahul throwing his wicket away started their collapse, they were cruising.
