Finch comes into this match averaging 7.50 in his last 10 games, with a HS 28 and 3 ducks.

In fact, since 5 July 2018, Finch hasn't passed 50 in 13 games averaging only 10.84.

Aussie openers very brittle if Ashes Warner shows up today.

 

[Gnske]

Sri Lankan fielding is cat piss when Mendis isn't taking slips catches

 

[ajdude]

dig this speed tracking thing

dig this speed tracking thing

I like it.

They'll never beat Channel 9's innovations like shoving Michael Vaughan into a floating KFC restaurant suspended over the SCG.

 

[ajdude]

also preferred fox cricket's scorecard from last year. this one is a bit chunky and thicc

 

[ajdude]

when was the last time there was a t20i played in the day time in australia?

Nah I like it.

 

[NUFAN]

I feel like the answer is never.

PNG and Ireland played a three-game series in Townsville in 2016. It's never happened apart from that.

This is Australia's first day T20I at home.

 

[Gnske]

This is like hearing my dad talk about music, get Mark Waugh OUT immediately.

 

[NUFAN]

If Warner gets out, I think Carey comes in - otherwise Smith.

If we are non-fa after 12 overs, Maxy is likely.

 

[ajdude]

Nah I like it.

you must also like wearing jeans and sneakers then cause it's pretty rank

 

[Gnske]

It is pretty lame. The extra bar is just useless wasted space.

I maintain this has been done to appeal to mindless people who don't care about cricket. Like numbers on test shirts.

 

[NUFAN]

I get the feeling Rajitha is not like Broad.

man i have no idea why people are talking about finch's form, as if his t20i formline is even relevant. his last t20i was in february, since then he made runs at the back end of the india ODI series and the tons in the UAE, then had a pretty friggin good world cup, made a t20 ton for surrey and a list A ton for victoria and has made first class runs for surrey and victoria. he was out of touch from about november to february but since then, his formline dictates these runs shouldn't really surprise

 

[Gnske]

Anyone else but Mendis would have dropped that.

Send in Glenn Memeswell please

 

[ajdude]

maxwell looks like he's grown a bit taller for some reason. or warner's gotten shorter

 

[NUFAN]

Pretty awesome knock from Maxwell.

Rajitha goes for a casual 75 from his 4.
