"One team will be champion so it doesn't make much difference."- Aqib Ilyas, Oman's skipper.

Only question for Australia is do they drop one of the big 3 pacers for Agar on a spin friendly pitch?

Green, Inglis, Ellis and ? to carry the drinks (I think Cummins...just say he's resting after late arrival on 50 hour flight trip)

If it's not turning sideways but has a bit for the spinners ide take Cummins over agar tbh. Cummins is at his best in t20 when he can spam those back of a length cutters. If the pitch is a bit slower and/or has some variable bounce in the middle overs. Also a better t20 bat then agar RN.

I think there's truth to this. Lots of hand-eye coordination monsters.

Waving a red flag to a bull springs to mind

Apparently he walked past my hotel the other day. Highly interesting info but sadly I did not witness this

 

[Qlder]

Will be interesting to see how the Aus top 4 goes:
1. Warner - terrible IPL
2. Head - good IPL but 3 ducks in last 4 innings
3. Marsh - coming back from injury, can't yet bowl (or field 20 overs it seems)
4. Maxwell - shocker of an IPL

 

[Qlder]

Australia batting after Oman win the toss.

Wow, Ellis in ahead of Cummins and Agar. Well deserved

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I think Ellis is a good pick on these tracks

 

[Arachnodouche]

Might start missing the IPL before this tourney's done. What a slog.

 

[Arachnodouche]

What a feckin catch!

 

[Arachnodouche]

These wickets going to show all the outrageous innovations in T20 batting of late don't mean a thing if you can't hit through the line.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

These are disgraceful wickets

 

[Daemon]

Honestly i think my bowling would go alright on this. Seems like the slower you bowl the more successful you’ll be.

Even the other day Adil Rashid had slowed it down to 65kph or something ridiculous.

 

[Arachnodouche]

These are disgraceful wickets

Sticky puddings. There's no way even a half-empty stadium should be this quiet at a T20 game. Uneventful and tedious.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Don't disparage the wicket until both sides have batted

Calling it based on what I'm seeing , there are balls just dying on a good length with uneven bounce , these wickets are like the ones you played on in the backyard ..
