That's my feeling. Along with the Warner speculation, naming Morris in the squad just feels like a PR strategy to get some interest in this series coming off the World Cup against two teams that don't tend to generate much interest for Aussies.

This would be ideal but I sadly can't see it happening. Warner would have to REALLY stink it up in the first two Tests to not get his SCG farewell. More likely that he cashes in big time against Pakistan on home turf. Warner plays until Sydney, then Bancroft plays rest of the summer. We go...

Selectors would be crazy to change the team at this stage. I love Green but he's been underwhelming lately.

Confident in the sense that we're in with a 50/50 chance of winning, sure! :cool:

584 runs were scored in this match, and the highest 3 scores were 201*, 129 and 35. Remarkable.

Surely the greatest ODI innings of all time. Even more amazing when you look at the scorecard. Maxwell 201* Marsh 24 the next highest...

Absolutely. He's fired up tonight and to be fair he has brought the heat with the bat and ball so far.

Great batting from PAK but agree that DLS result doesn't seem right. Ah well, Pakistan now the second team to concede 400+ and still win the game!

Balanced out by Shane Watson though... he keeps referring to Australia as "we" during commentary.

In the context of a fairly long tournament I imagine we may be open to resting Starc, Cummins and Haze at least once each. Though we've got a decent break now before our next game so perhaps not as essential.

Just scrolled through 5 pages of largely whinging to say well done Aus, what a win! Our top order is in scintillating form. If one of Warner, Head and Marsh can score big each game and another make 50 then we can get by with our middle order being in fairly average form. The last few games have...

317 runs is the record, posted earlier this year. India scored 390 then bowled out Sri Lanka for 73.

If you include Travis Head, our top order of Warner, Head and Marsh is probably the best in the comp right now. Our middle order, possibly the worst.

Last match: struggle to reach 200. This match: "hold my beer".

Until Head is fit: 1. Warner 2. Marsh 3. Smith 4. Labuschagne 5. Green/Stoinis 6. Maxwell 7. Carey/Inglis 8. Starc 9. Cummins 10. Hazelwood 11. Zampa Once Head is fit: 1. Warner 2. Head 3. Marsh 4. Smith 5. Labuschagne 6. Maxwell 7. Carey/Inglis 8. Starc 9. Cummins 10. Hazelwood 11. Zampa...

It seemed Stoinis was used to open the bowling so Abbott could come in first change, which is what he might do in a full strength side as opposed to opening the bowling. Think I saw comments form Marsh that said as much. I wonder how much of Zampa's form relates to his injury niggle vs...

Yes Greeny! Now just keep a cool head please!

Beauty!!

The pre-game commentary was focusing on how good the pitch looked to bat on. Would be expecting some big scores. at 5/187 England aren't tracking too well. Should be getting 400+ batting first on this deck surely. P.S. With all the talk of baz-ball, how good to see Hazelwood turn the game with...

Day 1 of this Ashes was always going to be crucial, especially given the tight turnaround between tests. Momentum will mean a lot. Aussies on top now. Just how we like it!

Regulation line and length. That's how you get em!

Yes and what a game they witnessed. Interesting that the biggest crowds so far have been in Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.

Looking at our scorecard, and you take out Trav and it looks pretty bleak! Hopefully the rest can lift their game in the 2nd dig.

Credit to him after his unbridled aggression in the first half. Good comeback.

Cheers. So if the goal requires a deflection to be on target it's considered an own goal, that seems fair.

Is Goodwin's goal really being called an Own Goal? I'm no soccer follower but that seems a bit stiff...

Come on boys just one moment of brilliance* needed! *or luck

GOODWIN FROM NOWHERE

Is it just me or has neither side really looked threatening in attack all game? In the game against Denmark I was on the edge of my seat in the first half, the Danes looked so threatening. Aussies have conceded through two brain fades, and some sharp work by Argentina in key moments.
