Starting after midnight. Meaning the game will be done a few hours before the rain sets in

Cmon Ireland! Think Australia will be too strong though, Ireland bowled really well against England though and could trouble our batting.

Bat first please

Isnt easiest way to increase your nrr bowl well first up restrict them to a modest score then really go for it in chase?

 

[frankrizzo]

If forecast is correct be tough for nz and england to get any play in though so if that happens run rate wont even matter aussies will be through if they win their two matches, wouldnt be surprised if we get a huge storm tomorrow arvo to go with rain.

Yeah you can but you can also score big first innings and bowl them out cheaply

 

[danstar]

2 things need to happen

1) Australia bowl 1st and win in the 10th over
2) RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN and more RAIN tomorrow and no play happens

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thank goodness batting first

 

[danstar]

we probably needed to bowl first in this so we can bowl them out for 90 and win in 10 overs, oh well guess there will be no net run rate boost today

We need to learn to bat first

 

[danielnajdek]

Now lets watch Finch plod himself to 20 off 40 balls.

 

[danstar]

we will only get 125 with the bat if were lucky cause of finch

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Lol somehow Cummins keeps his spot

 

[danstar]

how does watson get a commentary spot, worse then clarke

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Finch, Maxwell, Cummins. As is always the case, harder to get out of the Aussie team as get in.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Alinta energy ad on lol

Haha, oh jesus. Not the least bit surprising though. Ireland and Afghanistan will make them look good, only for them to be brutally exposed in the semis assuming we make it that far.

Captain woke dies a little bit inside every time he sees an Alinta Energy advertisement.

Would not drop Maxwell

 

[danstar]

no alinta energy ads on fox cricket

 

[danstar]

we need to look to the future, the only players i would be keeping would be stoinis, david and mcdermott and build a team around them.

 

[akkaps]

The commentary team and coverage really pulling for Finchy to stay in the team
