Oh wow, that really surprises me. Tried to look it up after making the post and the Fox Sports website refused to work.

Fox Sports has a strong commitment so cover all Australia's away internationals. Their commitment to showing other things that probably rate better at times like the English summer and the New Zealand summer is iffy but they were always going to show this IMO.

I thought they said they were scaling back coverage of Australian stuff too, the UAE tour in particular.

I think that was just brockley.

Well, that's awkward.

Off to Somalia for you, so I don't have to admit being wrong in public

So essentially MMarsh is being selected ahead of Hughes (seeing Clarke is not playing). Hughes (who has a List A average of nearly 50, over Marsh (who has a List A average of just over 30).

And even without Marsh, the side would contain 5 frontline bowlers, plus 3 part timers.

Massive slap in the face for Hughes.

No it wasn't. I received an email earlier in the year from them after I complained saying there was no cricket on until our summer. They must have changed their tune after I rang Rupert and threatened to cancel my subscription

Oh wow Mitch Marsh at No. 3 you've got to be ****ing joking now.

 

[dermo]

surely marsh won't actually come in at 3

 

[Spikey]

Holy ****ing ****. They've only picked 3 actual batsmen and they've still managed to bat Steve Smith in the totally wrong position

 

[Spikey]

Jesse Hogan ‏@Jesse_Hogan 18m

Hadds back to top. MT @ZimCricketv: Aus bat order: Finch,Haddin,Bailey,Smith,Maxwell,Marsh,Faulkner,Johnson,Richardson,Starc,Lyon #ZimvAus

please be right

 

[TimAngas]

Steve Smith -> Australia's premiere lower order spinning allrounder.

 

[TimAngas]

What the actual **** is the point of batting Smith below Maxwell.

 

[aussie tragic]

Haddin has 438 runs @ 24.33 in his last 25 ODIs....yep good call keeping Phil Hughes out wankers

This has got to be the worst Australian side I've ever seen, obviously mediocre allrounders is now the key to Australian selection...Finch, Bailey and Smith are the only batsmen with possibly Maxwell also qualifying since its an ODI...wtf

 

[ajdude]

hahahaha finch wanted the free hit there

 

[dermo]

average team, white ball, flat pitch

finch thinks he's woken up in heaven

 

[dermo]

boof please what is this

 

[ajdude]

boof please what is this

boff pls y u do dis

 

[Spikey]

Haddin has 438 runs @ 24.33 in his last 25 ODIs....yep good call keeping Phil Hughes out wankers

in fairness, most of those innings would have been at 7. and obviously hughes isnt gonna get picked over haddin as keeper...

it's obvious: they shouldn't've picked Faulkner.

 

[dermo]

hurry up marsh
