I'm pretty sure there's never been a dodgy decision in India.

I'm not sure if he was wearing a horse blanket when he was driving the bus but a helluva story.

MCC to ICC - speed up the game, penalise time-wasting, streamline the DRS process

MCC also recommended that umpires enforce laws relating to penalty runs for repeated time wasting more strictly, and time drinks breaks better

Maybe Fatty Finch needs one of these

been in horrific form, but overall an impressive record - Australia's Martin Guptill? They'll probably both get runs in the dead game

With all this free time on his hands KFC’s Victoria wide are on high alert.

Overdue but he walked before he was pushed. Knew that his time was up. 17 centuries is a great effort. Should be proud of that.

New captain? Cummins but who is the VC.

Finch was a great ODI player back in his day. I never really got the hate.

Performed well at World Cups, which always should have more emphasis. Seemed like a great bloke too.

Credit to him pulling the pin with enough time to find a replacement before next year's WC.

Similar to Guptil in that he is a player who relies primarily on hand eye coordination over technique. Similar to Sehwag, Hayden, Gayle. Once you age and that deteriorates you struggle against decent bowling.

 

[Eelectrica]

Finchy goes for 5 in his final ODI.
Can't be picked for T20 WC. Not up to it any more.

 

[Fangs]

I thought he wouldn't get through ten balls. He proved me wrong today.

Walking wicket at the moment. I can't see him turning it around for the WC.

 

[Twizzle]

should be retiring after this game, his tank is empty

 

[JJ]

Be great if Finn Allen went big here, and we could move on from Guptill

unfortunately aaron finch still plays t20 so australian fans have to suffer the world cup with australia playing 10 men. As finch is utterly useless as a batter and has been for ages.

he's not out of form, he's just a shithouse batter.
100 charity innings where he had the chance to prove it but got out for less than 10, puts it beyond doubt.
i bet every other team hopes we play finch as opener so they can keep him in as long as possible to waste our overs
