It is for the best that Warner is not playing. Although at the rate Australia is changing openers, Nathan Bracken will be opening the batting and the bowling, Sir Garry Sobers-esque.
So much for him playing all 5 games, Ricky.

Haha not quite. I'd play Oram ahead of him any day of the week and keep Broom instead of him.Are you converted?
must find highlights.

Hell even Martin Crowe or Mark Richardson would do. Better then some random like James Bradshaw.

Anyway, for the stats geeks, who is the last team to win the toss and bowl first in Sydney in either Tests or ODIs? Must be going back a long time as I thought it was a general rule, win toss and bat first in Sydney. However, New Zealand prefer chasing and given that NZ are 2-0 up, I'm confident in Dan Vettori.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

Yeah, I think #5's his spot. Even the runs he scored at #7 were more in the role of a #5 as he came in after colapses. He should really be kept away from the Test squad but he's going to be a really valuable OD player. The sooner you realise this Athlai, the better.
Fulton actually looked in pretty good touch but he simply doesn't have the placement and soft hands to really be an ODI player without hitting over the top a lot.

I don't think they comitted to playing him in these games against New Zealand; just the series against South Africa.

He whinges a lot too...although in this series we wouldn't have to worry about that.

Haha, Benaud trying to track back Mills's improvement as a bowler to his batting of all things. I don't think he's on the money there; Mills's breakthrough tour was South Africa a few years back and I don't think he did much with the bat on it either.

Because of course Warner is so much better.....

I agree, I thought it was a bit strange last game to put him down the order, especially on debut when he might be reluctant to throw his wicket way going for runs in the latter overs. Give him a chance to spend some time in the middle.
