1st ODI Australia v Pakistan, November 4 1400hrs @ the MCG

Warner is right about different cultures supporting in different ways. For various reasons discussed ad nauseum in this thread, our support for white ball cricket has certainly waned. What the commentators aren't mentioning is that we support Tests better than any subcontinent nation.

 

[Westend]

Nice shot Josh

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Even t20 he’ll be that hit and miss it probably isn’t worth it

Yes he will, he’ll be a dominant T20 batter for the next 10-15 years. He’s already winning games for his team in the best T20 leagues in the world. Finding that middle ground is needed if he wants to succeed in longer formats.

Smith striking it like that through the off side is glorious.

I struggle with the scheduling of this game.26 October Pakistan was playing a test match over there v England.8 days later they are expected to play cricket in Australia.

I thought it might have been a tough chase with those early couple of wickets but it looks like being a walk in the park now.

Hopefully Pakistan can be more competitive in their other matches as this is shaping up to be a very boring one sided series.

Fraser-McGurk was always going to go early with Short a 50/50 prospect of doing the same. The early wickets weren't an indication of Pakistan being in the match.

Rolf Harris playing for Pakistan nowadays?

I new he faked his death!

Is Head just resting or is there another reason he's not playing tonight?

Rested and think he is playing the shield match (he was rested for one)

 

[Moonwatcher]

Oh Smiffy

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rested for 2 shield matches I think

Suspect it might have something to do with us winning the World Cup pretty often.

 

[MJG14]

He was looking good

Why would that cause it to wane? I'd say it's the reason we value the ODI WC more than the T20 WC.

he and Marsh are both on paternity leave

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hahaha Junior giving his racing tips

 

[Taylor]

Last touch has to be inside?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gah Josh

 

[The Casey Cat]

Another dumb dismissal.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Last touch has to be inside?

Can’t start on the rope

 

[FullyBigKPro]

All happening here.....

 

[Plugger35]

Maybe this match isn't over yet.
