Any explanation for why Mike Hussey isn't in the T20 squad?
There was talk of him coming back to Australia to get a Shield game in before heading over to SA, but the Champions League put paid to that. Not sure whether he's flown over yet or not.

Saffers pinched Australia's shirt sponsors!

Sort of glad that they're using the ODI kit for away t20is, gotta wait a few more months to see that other mess on the telly.

Eventful over to say the least. Would have been superb were it not for the wides.

Fairly amazed that Bollinger's never played a T20I before today.

Some exciting young faces on show in this T20 which will just give us a taster of their style and capabilities. Looking forward to seeing how Pattinson goes, am a fan of his from what I've seen so far, and Cummins also. I always enjoy watching Amla aswell even if this wouldn't be his favoured format.

Bollinger comprehensively cleans Smith up in the first over. In Smith's brief stay at the crease he looked exceptionally rusty so no great surprise when he had two of his stumps uprooted off an inside edge with no foot movement.

That's a genuinely brilliant bit of fielding from Warner to get rid of Amla.

SA look a touch suspect in the middle order without AB. If Duminy goes soon then they're up the proverbial creek.

Yes a fantastic bit of fielding from Warner, had to be a powerful and accurate throw to catch Amla short and Warner duly produced a near perfect chuck.

Pattinson jr looks ever so much like his bro, doesn't he? It's quite uncanny.

Tragic haircut the young man's sporting tho. Borrowing it from Brad Hogg, presumably.

That last over from Pattinson was much better.

A packed offside field is negated when you float them up, though.
