Strange from KW to bat first. Would normally be happy about that, but with overcast conditions & rain odds on to turn up, i'm not so sure.

No Zampa? Jesus, what is their problem with a bloke who takes wickets at a good economy rate?

Luke Ronchi. Any chance he makes it 5 overs?

Wasn't he the only bloke who got runs in one of your warm up games ?

He has 3 50s from 83 matches and is averaging something like 10 since the world cup.

Right, then that seems a fair critique!

Against Starc and Hazelwood, I can't see it. I would have picked Latham.

Other interesting calls - Anderson over CDG, which I disagree with, and Southee and Milne in place of McClenaghan and Patel, which is fine by me.

 

[Prince EWS]

Ronchi is literally averaging 12 in his last 42 ODIs. No joke.

 

[Adders]

Awesome that Ponting has got a gig comentating outside the big bash. For those that haven't heard him commentating he really is very good.

 

[Athlai]

This much smack talking of Ronchi will see him fluke runs and we will be stuck with him for the tournament

It's not like Latham is bashing the door down.

Easily my favourite commentator at the moment.

 

[hendrix]

The best we can hope for is that he knows that he's a pinch hitter.

anyone can take a wicket. who can bowl 140km/h?

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah Ponting is absolute mustard. Bit of shape but looks a belting pitch again. Another 300 minimum type I reckon.

 

[Firebreaker]

Nothing in this pitch for bowler

 

[Mike5181]

Kettleborough, you ballsy son of a gun.

 

[Gnske]

Oh look, Warner hit the stumps for once.
