2nd ODI: Australia v India at Brisbane on Jan 15, 2016

Why promote Khawaja and then not pick him...

12.50pm India win the toss and opt to bat
MS Dhoni: 'Looks a good wicket, we are going to bat. There were quite a few misfields by the bowlers themselves which is not a good thing. We need to score 310 or so again. What's important is to see how wickets are prepared, you look at the conditions and decide the total depending on the start. One change, Ishant comes in for Bhuvneshwar.'
Steven Smith: 'Three changes for us. Richardson for Hazlewood, Marsh for Warner, and Hastings for Marsh. This is a bit of a fortress for us in all formats. That (WACA) was a nice wicket and we timed the run pretty well in the end.'
Hazlewood is not dropped, he is having a rest today.



Gutted Marsh is in over Uzi.

Particularly given it's his home ground

 

[tomdl]

So I now have to hope that both Marsh and Finch fail miserably...

 

[The Charlatan]

For f**ks sake, Uzi is on fire at the moment and that merkin Darsh walks straight in. At least MMarsh is out and aren't burdened with both useless merkins...

Interesting that India persisted with Ashwin and Jadeja.

Richardson in for Hazelwood lol. Why bother picking the test players if they are going to rest them after the first game? So sick of these selectors

 

[TheParraboy]

So Usi playing for Thunder tomorrow? or playing in the 3rd odi on sunday?

be a bit silly if he doesn't play any of these

To be fair, they did pick a squad for the first 3 ODIs. I guess they are giving Richardson a run. Marsh directly replaces Warner, though bringing in Usi if they already had a back up batsman is more puzzling for mine

Don't mind Hazlewood having this game off, he has done a ton of work this summer. Provided he plays in the remaining "live" games, all good

 

[Hutty1986]

Well our f**kwit selectors have handed a golden opportunity to India to make this 1-1.

 

[Meth]

Boland, Paris, Richardson

Defies belief

 

[redvscotty]

Easy quick wicket.

 

[TheParraboy]

Boland, Paris, Richardson

Hastings as well, to bowl his right arm smorgasboard :sarcasm:

 

[TheParraboy]

hang on

Did Brayshaw just say Kholi has all the toys?

 

[Meth]

Dhawan is in horrible touch

 

[Hutty1986]

Will be interesting to see what the weather does, and if there's any D/L bullsh*t involved. Dhawan is pus, we need someone to step up and get the big guns in Sharma, Kleenex & Dhoni.

That attack is about as potent as a Matt Keating dummy half scoot.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Lol @ Marsh...seriously the bloke scores one century and all of a sudden his crudiness is forgotten, Khawaja scores 3, as well as one in BBL and can't get a game ahead of him.

Don't get me started on the bowling attack.....

 

[tomdl]

Will be interesting to see what the weather does

BOM is only forecasting the chance of a shower developing.

 

[Hutty1986]

Does anyone know what Richardson brings to the team? He can't bowl, he can't bat. Maybe he tells really funny jokes at training.

Mark Waugh is probably just doing his best to have Khawaja available for the Thunder tomorrow night...
