The problem with Aussie cricket was Rod Marsh, since he got the ass the selections have been spot on.

[Verity]

Whats the go with people calling for Khawaja to miss selection for India? His only played 4 innings in the subcontinent?

Its like when the media talked the selectors into giving a young Phil Hughes the flick after 1 bad test because of a weakness to the short ball which he never had, ruined his career.

[Katto]

Billy Stanlake looks like he's never batted before
several comical moments

[Katto]

ugly hundred but well played Wade

[Katto]

Magnificent isnt a word I'd use

[Verity]

Timely ton for Wade, excellent innings.

[Verity]

Its a joke they don't allow runners anymore.

[Katto]

trying to keep up with other sports, but Cricket doesnt allow substitutions like other sports and it doesnt rotate like Baseball so its kind of stupid to do away with runners.

we can blame Ranatunga for abusing the law

[Katto]

Congratulations not required. Its hard to get excited about this series.

[Katto]

Pakistan bowlers have ended a lot of international careers of Australian batsmen when they tour here over the decades.
Even if they dont win series they always have an attack that sorts the class out from the rest.
Mitch Marsh is running out of chances.

[Verity]

Smiths fielding is so hot and cold, drops alot of catches.

[Verity]

Congratulations not required. Its hard to get excited about this series.

it gives me the shits theres not big bash the nights this crap is on

[Katto]

the brotherhood have gotten to Khawaja I see

he used to wear the sponsors logo but no more

he was probably bullied into not wearing it

[Katto]

congratulations Pakistan

its a big deal for them

[Katto]

dick Head bowls a wide

[raja]

Finally we win something!

Congrats, GS and other Pakistan supporters!

[Loose halo]

The selectors frig about with Khawaja too much he should have been picked in the Gabba game.

The Curators have produced two spinners pitches so far and Sydney will be the same.

Having ruined the Waca years ago they are now working on producing sub continental everywhere else.

Trying to produce spin bowlers CA says the effing lunatics.

[Verity]

Khawaja should be first picked in every format

SC pitches for one day matches are usually pretty good for batting

MCG pitches lately are probably responsible for a fall in crowds there

[Misty]

Finally we win something!

Congrats, GS and other Pakistan supporters!

What do you mean WE.

[raja]

What do you mean WE.

We, as in "we Pakistani supporters". GS and myself, amongst others.

[Going South]

Yea right. My support is for underdogs.

[Verity]

Its strange Heads bowling over Maxwell considering Maxwell waa just picked as a spinning allrounder for India?

[Verity]

Warners bat is a joke, just eged a pullshot for a easy 4

[Verity]

What do yous all think of Clarke in the box? His copping it on social media getting called boring etc

[Katto]

What do yous all think of Clarke in the box? His copping it on social media getting called boring etc

he's dreadful however he's replaced Brayshaw so small mercies

[Katto]

Its strange Heads bowling over Maxwell considering Maxwell waa just picked as a spinning allrounder for India?

Smith doesnt pick the team to India
he obviously prefers Head

[Going South]

Maxwell is accustomed to Indian CONDITIONS with his successful IPL experience. It would be stupid of CA to ignore it

[Verity]

Maxwell would secretly be pissed off

He has a me me me approach to his cricket

[Verity]

Sort of hope we go 4/70 or something, want to see some Maxwell magic today.

[Misty]

As well as STARC MAGIC later on,I bet Australia will hits 350 easily bats first.

[Verity]

Missed opportunity by Khawaja, this is a road.

Too flat, this is why Id rather watch Big Bash

[Misty]

Once again yet another century by Warner, Smith dropped on 11 by Sharjeel,bad missed by Pakistan because smith is king of Sydney.

Australia 170 for 1
Off 29

Khawaja 30, Warner 100 not out, Smith 40 not out.

[Verity]

Is it too easy to score a ton now aday?

[Misty]

3739 runs with 12 century in 92 ODI congratulations David Warner.

Its very easy for Warner to hits 100 in ANY FORMAT IN AUSTRALIA

[Verity]

I hate the free hit in ODI's; I see it as a T20 gimmick, hope they remove it. Batsmen miss time a shot the bowler doesnt get a free shy at the stumps, batsmen shouldnt get rewarded either for a bowlers mistake.

There already get 1 run and a extra ball.

[Verity]

Warner dropped 113, sitter again.

Why is it they are so bad? Catching is a basic cricket skill.

[Verity]

Head is ahead of Maxwell as a bowler and a batsmen in this series so I cant understand why Head wasnt the one picked for India..

Its a odd one.

15 overs to go youd think Maxwell would come in but no Head still did..

[Verity]

Maxwell dropped on 8

[Verity]

Head dropped on 21, extremly hard one though, smashed it back at the bowler

[Verity]

Head dropped on 28, absolute sitter that one

Sharjeel this time. He looks fat and unfit.

[Verity]

I missed one, Smith was dropped in the gully when he was on 11

[Misty]

Yes, I hates Pakistani Fielding, Going South and Raja loves them,descrice them WE,
340 could be possible because both batsman well set.

[Misty]

Horrible throw, better one should ran out by miles.

[Verity]

Amir pissed off, I reckon theres been more dropped catches off his bowling then his got wickets since his return

[Verity]

They convert one into two which Asian batsman should Learn from 44 to 50 overs.I think MS is best batsmen for last 6 overs, whose strike rate A1

Congratulations Pakistan to dropping 209 catches since 2011 in all formats

Howd you get that stat?
