Reckon that 250 will be pretty good as the odd ball is doing something and the pitch will suit Australia's bowlers

Now Clarke is gone could be bowling you out for around 230. That will be the plan anyway i guess.

I like the plan of waiting for Dougie before taking the powerplay.

FFS... why do we keep leaving the 'batting' PP for the bowlers!!?
Anyways... good to see Clarke make some runs today, but still can't call it a good innings or anything, but atleast it should be clear to him now that the best way for him is to go out there and be positive and play his shots.

Can never understand why it isn't taken around 35 overs when you have 2 players set which was the case today.

All the people who are having a go at Marsh should only take look at his overall domestic record, and then it would be clear to everyone that what he is doing atm at the international level is nothing new.
The guy is great talent and is pleasure to watch once he gets going, but he has been a very inconsistent batsman and expecting runs from him day in and day out is pretty futile.

Why should you lose wickets in a batting PP!? There is just no need to slog in a batting PP, just play each ball on its merit and even if you don't get too many runs out of the PP atleast you screw with the opposition captain's bowling plans.
EDIT: Meh, Mitch has become such a slogger these days, its pretty disappointing as there some genuine batting potential in him.

Lee is undoubtedly a better hitter so probably not in pp
However, Hastings looks a pretty good cricketer to me so it's worth the risk just to give him some time in the middle

Just playing devils' advocate, the aversion towards it being used before the 40th over by teams in modern times is generally because they want to conserve wickets. As said before, the wickets fall inevitably and the batting powerplay is wasted on lower order batsmen in the end.
I'm only assuming that the expected aggression in the batting powerplay overs would lead batsmen to make mistakes they wouldn't normally do if the field wasn't up.
