Take out Maxwell and the score would be England 180-200, Australia 5-55

Good match of cricket.
Maxwell obviously the star but reckon Australia won it with the second half of their bowling performance.

A certain G. J. Maxwell contributed quite notably there.

A couple years ago I remember Riggins knocking Ludeman for being the SACA keeper and while i was being all Siddle with Ludes I really didnt think he was serious when he was saying Carey was very good.
Carey is awesome, I like him so much more than every other Aussie keeper weve had since Gilly, you just know that Paine would have hit that first ball of the over for his first 4 of the innings to deny Maxwell the ton. Also the fact that he was keen to be micd up so early into his career just shows he has sonething about him. Paine had an excellent Ashes, but Carey is the guy.

Michael Clarke can't wait I'm sure. I noted that the other commentators were pretty silent about it.

He's done nothing but impress every time I've watched him. Should at least be our 20 and 50 over keeper. But he looks good enough with the bat and gloves to leapfrog Paine for tests soon too.

Possibly. It doesn't feel as epic as Stoinis' match against NZ in the ODI last season but numerically it's pretty damned close.

Did you have to bring race into this?

Yeah, his ODI record is nowhere near as good as it should be but it's clear from the numpties who were selected in his place that the talent pool is pretty shallow at the moment.
Funnily enough, he would absolutely thrive in the English ODI setup.

Tom Bruce and Blundell dropped for the NZ squad against England. Chapman and Seifert in. These 2 were pretty much the top bats in the T20 comp, which finished 2 weeks ago, most of us thought (knew) the selectors missed a trick when they were introduced against Windies and Pakistan.
Egg on the face of the selectors, not that they'd ever admit that.

Definitely on Blundell, Bruce I don't think anyone was too worried about him (even though we all think he's limited as hell).
Stoked that Chapman is getting a go. He'll handle it too, I reckon.
Meanwhile, we've used 4 WKs in 12 months. And we've moved Seifert/Phillips from natural opening bats to (and I'm presuming Seifert is going to bat there) middle order players, forced to do different jobs than they're used to.

Well.. finally. Now that we've finally got our man, I suppose we should be wary of Chapman not being the magic bullet that transforms the side (the problems don't end there). But well done to the guy for keeping up the run of form so he couldn't be overlooked.
As for this wicketkeeping revolving door the selectors are really paying the price for their refusal to dispense with Ronchi (Latham being flaky in limited overs didn't help either). I sure hope Seifert clicks if only to have that position resolved once and for all.

Pardon me, we've used 5 keepers - Ronchi, Latham, Phillips, Blundell, Seifert. Good effort in 12 months. Hang in there Dane Cleaver, and how have you not played for NZ Derek de Boorder.
And yep, you're spot on. A lot of us were saying in the last 12-18 months of Ronchi being wheeled towards the retirement door that it'd cost us in the seasons following, and I guess it is...although you could argue also that they've not identified and persisted with someone since either. Will Seifert click? Howsie, Flem reckon he's pretty adaptable so hopefully there's a future in him moving to the middle order. We are inching closer to our best side I guess...only thing is that the ND captaincy sharers aren't in that best side by some of our reckonings, but they're undroppable.
Also yeah I really hope people don't expect Chapman to come in and average 50 at 150SR. It won't have happened seeing he's come in mid-series, but he's the sort of guy that with his ability I'd love them to say you're here until the 2020 T20 Worlds, do your thing. With a view that if he succeeds in T20s he's auditioning for a 50-over spot (which really he should be in line for anyway with his Ford Trophy record).
