Not really familiar with Manuka oval so did a bit of digging

(1) there have been 9 ODIs played here, the last 7 were won by team batting first

(2) last ODI was 4 years ago where Aus made 5/378, beating NZ by 116 runs

(3) Chris Gayle scored 215 here (147 balls) vs Zimbabwe

(4) three of the players in this game have scored hundreds here, Dhawan (126), Finch (109 and 106) and Kohli (106)

(5) Kane Richardson has best bowling figures at this ground with 10-1-68-5 (vs India), while Starc has 3rd best with 8-1-32-4 (vs South Africa)

5/68 is Richardson's bowling in a nutshell.

Very much a bat first ground, most chases here have got off to a good start before collapsing. I've attended two ODIs in person (vs SA and NZ) and both times the outfield slowed up dramatically in the evening.

the other thing is that it's the ground where it became clear that Steve Smith was our new god, back in 2014/15

Have fun man!

I was going to guilt trip you and say I would've gone with you if you gave me notice, but it would've knocked out my only full week at home for months so maybe not.

Tbf I literally only made up my mind today that I was going to go

 

[Spikey]

Ah, Sabba pushed you over

I probably would have had to leave yesterday to get there in time if I did an entirely public transport trip.

Why do you have Richard's avatar in potato quality?

Magrat owns my avatar until I start simming CPL on CricSim.

It's this:

I wish to see a lot of the younger guys get a go and a bit more balance in the side. Lets see if our guys can swing that.

 

[aussie tragic]

Guessing only Wade in for Warner and Abbott in for Cummins.

Pretty sure Green will then play T20 though as they rest the Test players to give them time to adjust

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

First game at Manuka I've missed for a while if I don't decide to go tomorrow. Good ground IMO.
