1st C/H ODI: Australia v New Zealand at SCG, March 13th 2020

[_snafu_]

The crowd lockout has nothing to do with Coronavirus and everything to do with CA’s concern about the inevitable riot that would ensue because the Admiral is not playing.

 

[Bazal]

Jesus. I looked away to do a bit of work and without the crowd I deadset didn't realise Warner was out

 

[Bazal]

Finch is such a park cricketer.

In the way he plays, the rig, and the little tanties when he gets out

 

[TheParraboy]

Enter the Bison...

 

[_snafu_]

Lol@short

soft.

 

[Bazal]

Openers need to be changed. Well, Finch does.

We're behind the eight ball every innings on run rate.

 

[JJ]

Great middle order you guys have...

 

[lockyno1]

I’m here for the Bison!

 

[Bazal]

Mitch Santner is giving your batting lineup Covid 19

Not bad after being brutalised in the tests, but he’s quality with the white ball

Finchy is the vector tbh. The others are just victims.

ODI openers can't strike in the 80s these days. They just fking can't

He’s like Matty Hayden at the end of his career. It’s block or 4.

 

[hineyrulz]

Marnus is one of the best slow wicket players in the world.

 

[Bazal]

He’s like Matty Hayden at the end of his career. It’s block or 4.

The balance of our side is set up for a bashing opening pair. They go off and get you ahead of the rate (or get out) and then the middle ticks along and keeps you going at 6s and 7s.

Except our openers go at 4s.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This mob has the acceleration of a sedated tortoise

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Even the empty SCG booed that long levers useless merkin
