Look at that from Head, his mates have chopped on already and he goes for a big booming drive outside off on nought. What the hell happened to just finding the middle of the bat, getting your eye in, accumulating a few runs...

Head only knows one way.

Oh wtf, he gives his wicket away and we refuse it.
Nothing delivery too, just rubbish from everyone.

I watched most of his 130 he made last shield round and he played great. Don't know why these players turn into complete potatoes in the international 50 over format. He has the chance to get himself in and bat 30overs and he does this shit. I don't understand.

Renshaw for game 2....lets at least have 1 guy who can potentially carry an innings.

Warner and Finch cannot open again together imo, not in this current climate of our inability to actually bat.

The bowling standard goes up dramatically, although that's not exactly true in Head's innings so far.

Khawaja needs to open imo. Can't believe he isn't in this squad at all.

f**k Windows update, took me an hour to get on here

not a lot going our way with 2 played ons, a run out off the bowlers hand and a ct leg side, not one of those balls deserved a wicket

umpires calls going our way though

great leveler this game of cricket as Maxy used to say

Finch has Burn's defensive technique, will never be a player of the long form of the game

I did correct that...

Definitely true in general though.

I dunno. Head has scored against the likes of Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood, Faulkner, Coulter Nile, and other ODI quality bowlers who have done quite well to outstandingly well in their time. The Kiwi attack holds no fear for him. That's probably more the problem than anything else. The kids these days have no fear of getting out
