Should have saved that for tomorrow when the score would have actually hit 404/0

What's the highest FC score without loss? I think Ingram and Howe scored 400 odd off the top of my head.

 

[Flem274*]

At least we annoy Australia even when we play bad.

If this continues the answer to henry v doug might be wagner.

Southee's sick. Might do some bowling on day 3.

Surely we'll declare before then.

Goddamit you beat me to the punchline :P

Waheed Mirza and Mansoor Akhtar were 561/0 for Karachi in 1976.

The best in Australia is Mayne and Ponsford scoring 456/0 for Victoria in 1923.

I hope its doug out of the two of them. Much better bowler. His econ rate WILL translate into wickets in tests. It worked for chatfield so....

Actually chatfield did get movement. Off cutters mainly.

 

[GGG]

Chatfield could also land it on a coin at will.

The born again Doug's econ rate judging from these warm up games - isn't far off chatfield's.

I think i'm going to puke my guts into a paper basket if Finch is permitted to hit a double ton.

The selectors are insane enough given the performances of other openers to see that and select him.

I really don't think they're nuts enough to promote someone who can't even make the Victorian side, but I suppose Lehmann would see it as a great way to stick it to Saker after the Siddle/Pattinson thing...

i've said before that I reckon Finch only has to put in one hot streak in FC cricket for him to get close to the team. I mean, the dude already has played for aus a a bunch

Henry is still a better (but not significantly so) bowler than Doug, he's just in a rotten patch of form. To his credit he does bowl a slightly heavier ball than Henry with more natural variation too, but the Wagner mk1 package is completed by a propensity to bowl rank filth.

Horses for courses and both are pulling up lame. All it will take is one more day like today and the correct pony will be on his way over while our hopes for the summer are crushed by a hairline fracture.

I can actually imagine him being picked

The Oz test selectors still rate SMarsh ffs so Finch really isn't much of a stretch downwards

Dark days my friends

Dark days

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, strange scorecard to look at.

Finch for the test side.

 

[Gob]

Wonder how many fincheh would have made had trent southee and tim boult been playing.

 

[Gnske]

Can cricket survive Aaron Finch scoring a triple or quad tomorrow?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Surely all just a ruse by NZ to ensure a test cap for Arun.

 

[social]

Must be close to being the worst performance ever by a touring team

Forget pink balls, we're going to need to make them invisible to make these ****s competitive

 

[Midwinter]

That will teach the Kiwis for retiring their batsmen in the last game.
