1st T20I: Australia v India at Adelaide on Jan 26, 2016

Never ending fireworks.

Edit: They just ended.

thats why he's batting at 4

Needs to bat at 3 (as I said in the previous post, Warner/Khawaja/Lynn as the top 3). You need your most aggressive, intimidating, power-scoring batsmen batting at the top in the T20 format - batsmen who are renown and can single-handedly turn the game - especially when chasing 189. Lynn is ahead of Smith and DEFINITELY ahead of Finch in that regard.

I still can't understand how Finch is captain of the side, let alone in the side. He might get away with the numerous dot balls he's given away tonight against this Indian bowling lineup and hogging the strike away from Warner (which led to Warners wicket as he felt the impulse to pick up the run-rate after Finch's stalling), but he won't be getting away with it in the T20 World Cup chasing 189 against better bowling attacks.

[chigurh]

Finch being captain is crazy and an insult to Smith, but I reckon he is a better batsmen than some give him credit for

 

[Exsilium]

Poor kid!

Some of those deliveries were tough calls, smith walking across his stumps.

I would bowl the kid again.

Talking to batsmen while they bat i am not a huge fan of

 

[Twatface Magee]

Maybe if they werent talking to him as the ball was being bowled he wouldn't get out like that....

I think the novelty of talking to players on the field wore off after the first time they did it. Such gimmicky nonsense, never been a fan. You could tell Smiffy had had enough of the stupid questions.

Even KP?

I loved it when he smashed Clint Mckay and co on the mic calling the balls and his shots before they were bowled.

 

[Ibleedblue]

Wow 5 wides in an over haven't seen that before

 

[undertaker]

thats why he's batting at 4

Travis Head is in now

 

[Snappy]

Head promoted ahead of Lynn ? wtf

 

[chigurh]

It's crap and cheapens the concept

 

[jargan83]

Lynn should have come in not Head

 

[jargan83]

Dhoni is a merkin

 

[undertaker]

Finch gorrrrrrrrrrrrne!

 

[Pete Cash]

Even KP?

I loved that when he smashed Clint Mckay and co.

Jadeya gets through his overs too fast to do it. Smith was talking when he was facing up. Just not needed.

It's funny that the commentators go on about how insightful it is but turn they ask shit questions like "Why you no wear hat?"
