O'Keefe usually an excellent fielder; had an absolute shocker though.

Yeah I was bit surprised at how cumbersome Finch looked in the field. You would think he would be energetic on debut..

Cosgrove certainly wouldnt be any worse in the field, is a much better bat but doesnt look the part
Marsh is better in both departments
Hodge is infinitely better in both departments
The selectors are really hard to work out unless you operate in Bizarro World

Finch will surprise you, the guy is a pocket rocket.
Aerobic fitness isn't always the greatest, and I haven't been around the squad for fitness stuff for quite a bit, but he's always been in the top few for 20m sprint, runs between wickets quickly, has pretty good hands and a rocket arm.
Cosgrove hasn't done an enormous amount in Aussie domestic T20 either. Marsh should definitely be there and abouts, but only as an opener. And Warner has that role tied up at the moment, although not sure for how long - be interesting to see how he goes in the IPL, as I think sides are starting to work out their lines to him a bit better.

Not that I doubt you, but the sight of Johnson tearing past Finch in the field while Finch looked like he was running through treacle was hardly impressive.

Nope. Scheduled a day apart at Old Trafford in September. Asking for it really.

The woman's T20 is at the 'G too, isn't it? Looks bright sunshine now.

UDRS is going to be used in this series, apparently with two referrals per side as usual.

Good show, victory for common sense, etc.

Weather is fine now, if the girls are on then there should be no problem. Thought that there might have been a struggle to get on because of the amount of rain over the past three days, but obviously they're OK.

Ball's plugging in the outfield a tad, but no dramas otherwise.
Taking a fair old bit of turn too. Sthalekar has got a few to bite.

Warner's found more timing already in this innings than he did a couple of nights ago. Would like to see him go mad and make a big score, do love watching him bat.

Lolz at that effort from Bresnan. Poor last couple of balls from Shahzad after the start

A straight ball just short of half-volley length at 128km/hr - yeah that's what to bowl in T20.
