Figers crossed we see Australia bat and then I could not care less what happens after 7pm as Gonzalez vs Federer is on. As long as Australia bat the crowd goes home happy!

Agreed aussies1st. If Australia bat at least we'll see 50 overs of good batting. Leave the sud standard batting for when the tennis is on.

Your lot are hardly in great batting form. You've just about been knocked over in 2 of the chases and in Adelaide you had Hayden batting like he was trying to get a draw in a test match.

Hey here is a stat...Australia batted first once this series and you know what....who is the only team to get past 250? It is Australia. Spectators deserve entertainment not boring batting ala England and NZ!

Yeah and you would've only just got past 250 had NZ not dished up rubbish for 10 overs straight. All 3 teams have batted poorly this series, even your own captain has stated he's not happy with your top order. Also the pitches bar Hobart and maybe Adelaide to an extent haven't been up to normal Australian standards.

Competitive cricket = entertainment, we've got that in a couple of matches by Australia batting second. It seems entertainment to a few of you would be Australia batting first, putting on 400 and bowling the opposition out for next to nothing. That's not called entertainment, it's called a one sided beat up. If you don't like it Locky then go watch the Tennis, I'm sure watching Federer win 6-0 6-0 6-0 will really have you on the edge of your seat.

Let's hope the Kiwis put up more of a showing. But it wont be easy for them without Nathan Astle.

Yes and watching NZ and England bat put you to sleep! That is called BORING! We want boundaries and sixes early, not rubbish like NZ and England serve up. Spectators deserve to see Australia bat first. We have been chasing crappy scores for the last 3 games, and it is very boring to watch as the result is given. I'd rather see us put 300 on the board!

No you just want good cricket. Are you unable to appreciate good bowling? There has been plenty of that on display this series so far, if you want a slog-a-thon then go watch 20-20. If you also want boundaries early on then don't look at the Aussies, it was mentioned in the last match that they've only been averaging 51 from their first 10 overs, that's hardly living up to the ultra-agressive approach that they promised us before the series started.

As with everything in life your just being a moany little bitch as usual. Australia haven't lost a game all summer and your acting like your throat is being slit. The remote control was invented for pillocks like you, I sugest you put it into action.
