Australia v Pakistan in UAE (5) x ODIs March 2019

[AlwaysGreen]

6 in a row, we're on a bigger roll than parra and Canberra combined

 

[Meth]

Finch bloody loves the UAE, doesn't he?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Aust win by 80 runs

Win series with unbearable lead 3-0

Only if your a Pakistani!

Threatened to be dropped didn’t work for Finch so they threatened his KFC quota and amazing look at the results.

 

[Eelectrica]

Good that Finch as back to scoring runs. Only has to maintain form for another 3-4 months somehow.

 

[Fangs]

Guess Warner will have to bide his time or play down the order for the WC.

Smith in for Marsh the only change in that batting order I can foresee. Unless they take a risk and let Handscomb handle the gloves and drop Carey.

 

[TheParraboy]

Come on Finchy keep piling them runs tonight

Another Eels/Aussie double?

 

[Twizzle]

Smith and Warner ban ends today, might be able to slot them in tonight

That’s what should be happening , but they are playing IPL

 

[Mr Angry]

lol, would love that

Good enough level for WC warm up.

 

[Eelectrica]

Good enough level for WC warm up.

Probably better seeing as Pakistan aren't playing their best side.
They're playing pre-season trials we're playing finals in terms of team strength.

Puzzled why we continue with Alex Carey, Handscomb should be keeping.

I know he says he doesn’t want to but you do what’s best for the team. Turner should be in the team.

 

[TheParraboy]

Pakistan won toss, and sent us in

Kane Richardson for Behrendorf
NCN for Cummins

We havent really needed Carey with the bat, but a couple of times he had chipped in with a decent 20-30 odd in some of the closer wins. he has been good behind the stumps from what I have seen, Handscomb was pretty ordinary when he did the role for a couple of games

It’s more a matter of we need someone like Turner. He can do more than Carey.

Carey is competent, but not much more. We need guys in the lower order than can chase down the 100 off 10 overs.

Warney man fails again

It's Showtime

 

[mattyg]

Everything this match has made my mind up on the squad we should take to the World Cup..

1. Warner
2. Finch
3. Khawaja
4. Smith
5. Maxwell
6. Stoinis
7. Carey / Wade
8. Cummins
9. Starc
10. Richardson
11. Zampa

Lyon
Coulter-Nile
Handscomb
Turner / Short

 

[lockyno1]

I'm playing Handscomb or SMarsh over Khawaja. Khawaja takes far too long to get going, and when he's making a 100 he's going at 80 odd, that's not enough
