[TheParraboy]

we playa couple of t20s next , then head off the South Afric for 5 ODIs late September

4-1 result will be nice way to finish up here

Starts Sunday 7pm

Jeez DRS is pointless. Kusal Perera was just given out LBW...smashed the cover off it, so he challenges. Clear deviation off the bat, but not overturned....why bother?

 

[TheParraboy]

We need 196 to win after SL won the toss and elected to bat

SL bowled out for 195 in the 41st over

The great Mathew Wade opening the batting, HayneTrain right hand very occupied..

 

[Timbo]

I just noticed that Nevill is the keeper for the T20 portion of this tour.

That blows my mind. CA has Nevill keep for the tests, sends him home during the ODIs and then has him come back to replace Wade at the very end.

Either have Wade keep for all limited overs games (no) or make Nev the keeper in all three formats (yes).

Why was the great Matt Wade opening the batting

Nevill shouldn't be in any of the formats.

If only test matches went for 100 overs.

This resting shennanigans is doing my head

We go to SA to play 5 ODI's end of the month, so Smith, MMarsh are still going to be rested? I hear also Hazlewood and Starc will be as well. With a couple of injuries to boot, We may as well send out an Aust A side over there and rest our main 11 for the summer

They kinda do for both our innings on the sub continent

Warner is becoming one of the best dead rubber players we've ever had, he's surpassed Matthew Hayden

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Captain dud goes home and we carve these guys up

Warner for fulltime captain

Rod Marsh is a Hell of a troll.

No room for Xavier Doherty or Michael Beer to back up this mighty pace attack?
