David Warner apparently going to commentate on ODI series in the UK.
Shouldn't his ban preclude him from this as well?
He needs to *smile* right off.
 
Aust won the toss and are batting in the ODI against the Poms. Were cruising along at 1/47, two quick wickets now 3/56. Paine batting at 5 ahead of Maxwell, who was listed to come in at 5.
 
So they were handing out sandpaper to the crowd outside the stadium with 4 or 6 written on them. I thought it was quite funny. Boof though didn't take it too well.
 
Afghanistan doing well in their first Test.
India 0/158 at lunch, Dhawan 104 not out.
Whose bright idea was it to play India in India first up?
At least Ireland had the smarts to play someone like Pakistan at home.
 
Geez, with the Aus v France game and the Hawks v Crows I didn’t realise there’s cricket on too!

England 2/149 after 23 overs but have stopped for rain.
 
Geez it’s a “no name” Australia ODI side: Agar, Tye, K Richardson, Stoinis, Short, J Richardson, Stoinis (and Marsh, Head, Maxwell, Paine)

Heard of all those guys through the BB
 
Sri Lankan captain Dinesh Chandimal has been charged with ball tampering by the ICC.
 
England 6/481. Australia all out 239.

I knew things weren’t gunna be great post “Sandpapergate” but didn’t think it’d be this bad.
 
Playing on bloody postage stamps these days completely skews what these scores actually mean. 481 is probably worth about 300 twenty years ago, and 250 thirty years ago.

Complete nonsense to be calling it a world record.

Trent Bridge has been around for a long long time, its not a new ground.

As a pom I'm obviously stoked with the result but what I don't get with the aussie line up (I get that its weakened), but why has Finch been pushed down the batting order. For me he's a class opener and plays far better when pace is on the ball and is a far weaker player of spin hence why the last 2 ODI's he's been taken by Rashid. I don't really understand why he as the most experienced opener is pushed down the order to a position that he isn't familiar with.
