1st ODI: Australia v England at MCG Jan 14 2018

[The Mad Hatter]

I wonder if there will be any wickets falling in this game?

Zampa will get a hat trick.

Ball four over seven first innings will also be a no ball.

 

[Bazal]

Someone get Slats a thesaurus FFS, reckon he said "dynamic" 18 times in that little spiel about Fatty Finch

Why is an Irishman captaining England?

 

[Blade23]

Why is an Irishman captaining England?

Because they are fresh out of South Africans.

 

[Bazal]

Why is an Irishman captaining England?

Because there wasn't a good enough South African for the job

 

[Timbo]

They should really move the ODIs to Ethihad, this is a pretty poor look on TV.

Or, given the diminishing crowds for ODIs, they should play them in Canberra, Geelong, Launceston, The GC, etc.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Having watched this anthem performance, I'm keen to see a strong Aussie performance running with the wind.

The front rowers really have to get stuck into this pommy pack.

 

[Timbo]

The new Channel 9 graphics look lifted from an EA Sports game.

 

[Blade23]

LOL Woakes.

 

[_snafu_]

Bill Lawry is blowing his load.

 

[Timbo]

Jeez, Davey didn't know if he was coming or going there.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Some musings and observations:

Why win toss and bowl? Bat, score, field in cool of evenings.

Ch 9 graphics look so much like a game. I don't like em.

Finch don't deserve his spot as much as Maxderp. Ergo, Maxdeep must be a wanker or merkin to be out. Lol @ White.

How do Khawaja or Lyon miss out?

Melbourne are dogging ODI. Agree should be at venues without Tests or venues have to fight harder to get an ODI and fill the joint. I know they'll never go back to blackouts but should in Sydney and Melbourne.

Lol at Warner.

 

[Bazal]

...which is why people thought Wood should have been in the Test side

 

[God-King Dean]

Warner getting out cheaply when runs are needed?

No waaaaaaay.

Worship your fraud.

 

[Hutty1986]

A superb innings Davey

When you consider most of the states have a secondary venue in a different city, there's no reason not to share the love.

This series could be Geelong/Canberra/Gold Coast/Launceston/Western Sydney and people would turn up because it's their only chance to see high quality cricket. It'd look much better on telly too.

Is Davey dumb dumb the ultimate flat track bully of medium pacers?

Geelong looked good. Manuka too.

They have to do something though. ODI isn't dead but CA need to do better .

Jesus. It’s time they take old Bill out the back with a 12 gague and put him out of his misery.

 

[King hit]

We might get the good Finch today
