And Wade too but I believe that was always the case

Anywho Head has to open if he plays.
Yeah that's the issue isn't it. Khawaja, Head and probably Wade all need to bat in the top order. Warner and Finch I could see doing a better job in the middle but you're not going to move Warner down

I would just **** Finch off tbh and find someone else to captain. It's harsh because he's been great for a long time but he's not in the best XI anymore

Anywho Head has to open if he plays. Been making a habit of scoring 70 ball tons of late. I don't mind marnus in the middle overs though. Not that he has done anything of note yet but him and Smith can milk the bowlers in the middle overs to keep the innings on course for the final overs
Marnus has been decent at 4 tbh, made a great 100 vs SA just after covid hit and has made some useful 50's around the place following it.

Finch is averaging 50+ in odi's over the past few years and looked back to form in the t20's, why get rid of him now?

You think Wade has always been a better ODI bat than Finch, or the other blokes have always been better than him?

Anyway, expect having to get ten overs out of Maxwell &/or Stoinis is going to cost Aus in this game.

Renshaw, Harris & Hunt really doing a lot to stake a claim. Thank **** Harris failed. Hopefully he stinks up the whole A series tour and that's the last anyone sees of him

Right on cue Maxwell bowls the second over for some insane reason and goes for seven.

Fantastic. Great work. Well done Finchy.

Imagine having Pat Cummins in the locker and the shot you fire instead is Glenn Maxwell with the new rock.

This is why SC stuff is not real cricket. Mediocrity becomes acceptable.

Walks in at 15 for 3 and makes a 29 ball 39. Classic Travis

Happy for Philippe

Wait McAndrew got an Australia A callup?


Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, just don't remember that being ever announced

So having seen the odd slower one grip and turn, Agar finally stops darting then in, gets one to turn and bounce and gets a wicket. Quick learner….

Not sure what to make of this A test pitch with no stream. Our top 3 which is pretty good by A-team standards got blown away and now stekekke and mcandrew put on 120.
