Australia should towel Zimbabwe up although they have improved recently.

I can see Finchy dining out here bloating his figure(s).

 

[mozza91]

Good to have some cricket back on.

Will watch hungover with a Powerade in one hand and cheeseburger in the other just like our illustrious captain.

 

[Fangs]

I just don't want to see Carey higher up the order. Looks like they have plenty of all-rounders and I'd like to see all of them in before Carey.

 

[TheParraboy]

We have picked our XI for the opener


Australia XI for first ODI: Aaron Finch (c), David Warner, Steve Smith, Alex Carey (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

"No run" for Marnus.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Carey at 4? Am I missing something?

Like his unbelievable consistent match turning innings at this level?

Another one who will fill his boots against minnows and guarantee his spot for the next 59 years.

 

[hineyrulz]

Carey irks me, and not just because I could fit my fist between his eyes

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Finchy won the toss and elected to field.

His plan: bowl them out cheaply, knock off the runs quickly enough to still get to the all you can eat buffet at cowboys league club.

Is that Dan Ginnane commentating? Jesus Christ why fox cricket? Why?

 

[hineyrulz]

Quality review Fatty.

Prefer him then Mark Howard tbh.

 

[hineyrulz]

Takes out second slip, good work Fatty. If we think we are going win a World Cup carrying Lardo they are kidding themselves.

Yeah I agree Finch should have been let go off after the T20 WC win last year.

4 ducks in his last 7 ODI innings.

Time for fresh blood.

Lmao, why is Shouty Ginnane in the comm box?

Reminds me of the Big Bash season (the final tournament in the state franchise format) where Warren Smith (NRL) and Brian Taylor (AFL) were commenators.

This particular over immediately comes to mind:

Dan Ginnane looks hilarious when the camera pans to him, Skull and Lyon.

It's like watching an ADHD kid struggling to stay still and quiet, whilst having to listen to Skull and Nathan Lyon doing most of the talking.

Cricket is clearly too slow for Ginnane's liking.

 

[undertaker]

Anyhow, great to see international cricket in Australia during this time of the year.

 

[mave]

Hahahaha, now they've dragged Speedy out of the pub for a stint.

 

[Sphagnum]

Lol Brenton Spud and Dan Inane. f**k you foxtel
