Iron Man becomes the fastest to 100 ODI wickets....52 games

Haze again not getting in the wickets, now super expensive to boot. Will be surprised if we chase this.

Actually that's a good point....I'm hazy as f**k from the beers at the footy (still full strength in Canberra!) but I thought we said Starc would be rested?

Yeah he was, not sure what happened, I know he doesn't like being rested

anyhow we need 228 to win, should get them fairly easily

Master class batting by Finch

48* (36)

Aust 1/61 - 10 overs

Good win for Australia - and Starc, what a record - marginally faster than Bond and Lee as a quick - and they were magnificent ODI bowlers... Saqlain too, of course, but quicks are the better comparison - shows the huge value of pace and late swing

LOL

They got there...just. Sounds like Finchy got a bit rorted.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Yay we won

We are easily the best team in the world at this caper.
