1st ODI - Australia v New Zealand Sydney Cricket Ground, Dec 4 2016

[Pete Cash]

I dont understand why victoria wouldnt let him move just to bench him. whatever he handled it poorly but he has genuine grievances

Anyways onto the cricket. should be a good match i reckon. its good to see australia play odi cricket without an embarrassing bowling attack

 

[Pete Cash]

The underarm lol

Australia win the toss and bat. No show a no show. Levers in. Head and Cummins too.

 

[Bazal]

Long Levers Lenny over Faulkner....selectors having a giggle

 

[tomdl]

Fmd. Would actually prefer Maxwell over Marsh.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

f**k there's some pre game bullshit these days. Just get on with game.

 

[hineyrulz]

Looks like the show will be batting behind the poisoned Dwarf again.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I can't believe my eyes. NZ are wearing black and Australia australian gold ( canary yellow).

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Ian Smith. A slight improvement on giggles pieterson.

 

[umina panther]

Typical Victorian

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Beautiful shot Finch.

 

[tomdl]

Why on earth do Warner and Usman not open ODI's? Finch is cooked.

 

[aussies1st]

Typical Victorian

 

[_snafu_]

Why do they persist with picking Victorians?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Shot of the afternoon says tubs.

After 6 deliveries.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Lmao Finch

 

[AlwaysGreen]

That finch dismissal sums up his career. Driving hard first ball. Once every 20 innings that go hard method pays off for him, the rest of the time he looks like a clown.

Are the Aussie spin bowling stocks so freaking thin that a guy with a FC bowling avg. of 50 - yes, FIFTY! - is your first choice ODI spin option?

Brad Hogg is still Australia's best ODI spin bowler but the selectors are too embarrassed to pick him because he's 58 years old. And Greg Matthews is probably your next best.

Sorry we dont have a Gareth Batty to choose.

Do you mean the guy with the ODI average of 28 with the ball?

He's a limited overs specialist. What the f**k does first class cricket have to with it?
