2nd ODI at Sydney, 29 November 2020

[Burgey]

Let’s get it going.

 

[Burgey]

Predicted high of 38 today, but it’s a pretty dry heat at least.

Am biased but would love to see Dermo Sabba Abbott in for Pipes, but I suspect Green will play, which is an exciting prospect anyway. Most boring/ least-captivating option is Agar, but I’m not convinced it’ll turn all that much

I'm quietly hoping one of the quicks gets a rest so Abbott and Green can both play tbh.

If you consider all these JAMODIs as build up to the WC in 2023, you will be better off trialling Agar at 7.

 

[honestbharani]

If India wanna get funky, we can get in Sundar to open for either Agarwal or Dhawan and have a 6th bowling option that way. Else, we can also bring in Thakur and Sundar to bat 8 and 9 and just do away with wrist spin. This gives us the option of using Sundar with the new ball too and he might be able to get the openers in some trouble.

Henriques warming up, wouldn't need to do that to carry drinks

Edit: and Henriques confirmed

 

[Spikey]

if they want to get funky they should simply listen to some george clinton

 

[Spikey]

i considered replying to Burgey's quote by saying Moz would be the most least-captivating option, but the tears would be pretty captivating

 

[Gnske]

The only all-rounder in Australia who has bowled less than Cameron Green over the last year.

I can't wait for him to give us overs.

 

[Spikey]

it's ok maxwell will take 4/30 from 9 overs today

 

[Spikey]

Playing XIs:

Australia: 1 David Warner, 2 Aaron Finch (capt), 3 Steven Smith, 4 Marnus Labuschagne, 5 Moises Henriques, 6 Alex Carey (wk), 7 Glenn Maxwell, 8 Pat Cummins, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Adam Zampa, 11 Josh Hazlewood.

India: 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Mayank Agarwal, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 KL Rahul (wk), 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Navdeep Saini, 9 Mohammed Shami, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal.

Only the one change for Australia with Henriques in for Stoinis. India unchanged.

gimmie a hell yeah

 

[morgieb]

Moey is a weird option but I’m with Spikey, the melts would be pretty good.

 

[trundler]

Just let Finch bowl some crap

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Get a feeling we might be seeing Arun sending down some of his Darren Lehmann type offerings today

 

[Gnske]

Selectors didn't even think this much before giving Sam Heazlett an ODI.

 

[Spikey]

I have a feeling every ODI that we may see Arun Finch bowl and now I look forward to it

 

[aussie tragic]

it's ok maxwell will take 4/30 from 9 overs today

Would be his first wicket in last 15 ODIs

 

[Prince EWS]

I didn't even realise Moises was in the squad.

 

[Gnske]

Reminder Maxwell has almost taken a 5 wicket haul at Perth like twice.

Would a bad spin bowler almost get a 5 wicket haul at the WACA? Unlikely.

 

[Spikey]

I didn't even realise Moises was in the squad.

no surprise given Spark's pitiful OP for the first ODer
