Wouldn’t it be great if we had 20k everywhere we played like India do,huuuge advantage for their team.

Yeah, naaah.
If you're going in with Wade then I can't see a spot for Finch, especially not as an opener.
We need more runs, more quickly from the top order and Finch's form says do not open. Drop Finch to 7, Maxwell to 5 or 6 (floater) and replace Finch as opener with someone both in form and a little more dynamic. I'd be looking at whether Turner should come in rather than Wade as well
Why does it bother you that people support teams or players other than Australia? Get the **** over it
Lol

Yeah it’s pretty widely known that who you prefer to see a good job hitting a leather rock with a stick has a direct correlation with your personal quality as a human

Get.
The f***.
Over it.
England do too - don’t recall you carrying on like a b***h about it every game last summer.
By the way, in cricket, having a loud group of fans in no way gives you a home ground advantage, when your players are based in Asia, and are playing in Australia.

We are in second gear,India are firing on all cylinders,plenty of improvement to come while the selectors search for the magic formula,getting close though tonight,Smitty in there and we win comfortably.

What I said was true,why the offended mate?
India have huuge support everywhere they play,fact!
Cricket is the only thing Indians focus on and they have 1.2 billion people... I'll take being better at everything else.

I'm joking...of course I want Maxwell in the team

...i reckon it would go okay

We wait for the greatest sport on Earth,Aussie Rules.
Summer is rest time for Aussies for the footy season,cricket watched on tv.
We were also spoilt by the Aussie team that dominated for 20 years,I don’t go because my eyesight is stuffed,I can only watch on tv,keratoconus in both my eyes.
Unless I sat next to a tv and get fat wasting money on overpriced booze.

It's the batting; we were 20-25 short of where we needed to be. One of Maxwell or Marsh needed to be there at the end to get close to 320.
Agree. I hate that we are outnumbered at home games but you have to give credit to the Indian fans for turning up and producing a great atmosphere. It’s on us as Aussie supporters to come out and support our team.
It’s a Tuesday and was over 40 degrees, were you there? Would have a lot more on a weekend.
Ha I am 100% Australian, I don't have to support individual campaigners who waste their "talent" by being a petulant child. Nor do I have to support a team that I do not believe in, that has a line up full of arrogant flogs not worth their "contracts". And a cricket administration that has no balls to do the right thing!
I'll happily support Australia in virtually every other sport
Granted you don't have to support them.
BUT you don't have to barrack against them either.
Not sure wtf is going on with Siddle in the ODI setup. No real issue having him as solid backup for the Test team, but not here. Finch is quickly running out of time and has no form to fall back on at all right now.
As for India, when you see Dhoni do that, you can see why he is hanging around until the World Cup. His experience in the chase and ability to clear the smaller English boundaries will be handy.

More problems in the top order rather than with Marsh or maxwell. They both did their jobs
