1 run required from 100 balls.

 

[Westend]

entertaining game

 

[MJG14]

Cummins saves our arse again! What a man.

 

[Gethelred]

Well batted, capt'n.

 

[freo_leo29]

Remember when Pat forgot how to bat for like 3 years

 

[Jimthegreat]

Cruised to victory with 16.3 overs to spare...lol.

 

[rdhopkins2]

I was going to say wouldn’t it be funny if they blocked out the next 3 overs haha.

Winners are grinners!

1 run required from 100 balls.

Might be a struggle.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Found the skipper is my 5th cousin (my GGmother is a Cummins), so it is obviously his talent runs in the family. Obviously my genetics somewhere have helped him...haha.

My genetics got us home again....hahaha.

 

[Westend]

come on smudge the pitch was fine...best I have seen you bat in ages

 

[Jimthegreat]

Starc knew how to bat in the circumstances. Knew how to read the situation way better than our batsmen.

 

[Westend]

still reckon the test players should be playing shield though

Did you ever consider taking up cricket and guiding Australia to 5 consecutive ODI and T20 WCs ?

Strange interview. Strange fella.

 

[Cleavy]

Starc MOTM. I think on overall contribution, Cummins might have been a better choice?

 

[Moonwatcher]

21 extras by Pakistan compared to Australia's 4. They probably win that had they kept it tidy.

I may have missed my calling badly...haha.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

I think the selectors concur with you on that as well

Good, he wins matches when it actually matters

Fraser McGurk was always a good chance to get out cheaply with how much the commentators were talking him up.



It should do with the match being on a Sunday rather than a Monday, there aren't as many Pakistan supporters in Perth though.

25k tonight was more than what a lot of people expected.

Had a good trip down to Melbourne . Saw 3 WBBL games over the weekend and an ODI.

The way people were commenting today you’d have thought there were 5k there. It was a very solid crowd and sounded like a great atmosphere (albeit most cheering for the opposition).

However much CA give ODI cricket the red headed stepchild treatment, it is far from dead just yet. Give it half a chance to succeed and you might see some results.

Knocking out there two openers cheaply was big, but I would have voted for Cummins,
