    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in India 2016

    I'm hoping to get a good look at this, because the BCs are playing India first up in the World T20 in a month.

    The anger about this made the Marsh dismissal 10 times funnier imo

    Should teams be allowed to replace players injured in-game?

    There's a reason why they're called Test matches. I agree that the proposal appeals to an intuitive fairness, but what would stop a team, say, stacking their batting in the first innings with a guy like Colin Munro batting 9, then just swap him out for a specialist bowler for the second innings?

    The Aussies can't help themselves when Grant Elliott is at the crease. Don't know why, but they sledge him like a bastard. Doesn't seem to bother him much.

    Well I think Smith is a bellend, but that's alright because it adds to the drama of the tour and frankly increases my enjoyment of it a lot. Agree that he should apologise, the sort of things he said and the way he said them were definitely not in the spirit of cricket.

    The reason I wrote that is because when a wide was bowled shortly after that and not given, I clearly heard Smith say, easily loud enough for the umpire to hear, "another terrible decision." To my mind that sort of psychological bullying amounts to umpire intimidation.

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    Yeah that's why I was surprised to see him come in ahead of Marsh today. Quick runs were definitely not important at that time.

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    Yeah you saw today that sending Maxwell out at 5 ahead of Marsh was probably a mistake. I've thought for a long time that ODI teams haven't fully utilised the potential of having a highly flexible batting order. To my mind, past first drop or two down there almost shouldn't even be a batting...

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    With the last Test and ODI series between these two sides hinging heavily on an umpire's decision, I reckon there's a chance for some genuine spite in this Test series.

    2nd best ODI side?

    So what you're saying is: 1. New Zealand 2. Bangladesh 3. the others I dunno but I think I like it.

    2nd best ODI side?

    I see what you're saying and think it has merit. There are clearly two different perspectives you can take and it's basically arbitrary which one you do. See, if the Wallabies won the Bledisloe 2-1, with one thumping, one comfortable win and one loss that was fairly close up until the end, I...

    2nd best ODI side?

    I'm not saying the BCs are No. 1. But I am saying there's an argument for it. Three match ODI series just concluded, Aussie batting disintegrated three times, was slaughtered in the first match, beaten comfortably in the third and only won the second thanks to a career-high score from a No. 8...

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    The Aussie top order is heavily dependent on Warner. In all three matches the fortunes of the Aussie batting related directly to how well Warner did. If you can get Warner early the Smith-Bailey-Maxwell middle order is actually pretty weak. Maxwell is destructive but if you can get him in before...

    2nd best ODI side?

    Australia should be added to the poll in light of tonight's Chappell-Hadlee series loss.

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    Great win for the boys. The best feeling in world cricket is beating Aussie. Great series too. Both of the last two games would have been worthy World Cup finals. Basically the side that took their opportunities won them. How good would an Aussie-NZ-SA tri-series be right now? Matt Henry: 25...

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    That is horrendously unlucky. Matt Henry definitely appealed though - he held the ball up. Out any day.

    ***Official*** Australia in New Zealand 2016

    I didn't rate Mitchell Marsh with the bat at first. Thought he looked very uncoordinated. But man does he hit it hard. Hits it as clean as Guptill. Well he's going to win this game soon if we don't get him.

    Steve Smith really is a mediocre ODI batsman.

    CW is serious business. There are no jokes allowed.

    Yeah I was sure he would review it. Don't know what the hell he thought there was to lose.
