We"re not really going to throw this game, are we?

 

[NYRB]

Australia doing their part to help grow the game

 

[Around the Wicket]

That's a good get, Australia don't give much opportunity to other nations, still only play 2 Tests against NZ lol

nope but players will be managed/rotated/rested

 

[Cmarsh]

nope but players will be managed/rotated/rested

Strategically to troll the English?

 

[Gough]

As funny as it would be, we're playing pretty well at the moment and I'd be reluctant to tinker with the team too much.

 

[Cleavy]

I wouldn’t be surprised if we rested Hazlewood and/or Zampa

 

[big_e]

Best way to troll the English would be to play our full strength side and when someone asks why, we say "pfft, as if we'd be scared of England".

We've already learnt from this world cup that New Zealand Cricket are their own worst enemy, I'd be surprised if it was an Australian mandate to only play 2.

Any chance of this match being rained out?

It looks all good according to timeanddate:




Although there looks like a bit of a strong breeze at the ground tonight.

 

[NYRB]

Im going to be honest, I dont think its in Australias nature to tank, alas North Melbourne for priority draft picks .

I think they treat tonights game 'semi-seriously'

Unaustralian not to

It is a T20 game though, if Scotland did actually win, how can they even confirm it was a fix.

Maxwell plays a stupid shot and gets out.

Stoinis can't hit the ball off the square and soaks up a ridiculous amount of dot balls.

Tim David involved in a crazy run out and drops 3 catches in the field.

All things that happen regularly in the big bash.

 

[NYRB]

Australia: 1 D Warner, 2 T Head, 3 M Marsh (capt), 4 G Maxwell, 5 M Stoinis, 6 T David, 7 M Wade (wk), 8 M Starc, 9 N Ellis, 10 A Zampa, 11 A Agar

Basically if every player bar Warner plays to their stereotype then Scotland are a huge chance.

How does Ashton Agar get the nickname 'Larry'?

 

[Moonwatcher]

If we're not tanking then I wish we batted first.

 

[Rob]

What the **** are you doing Agar.....half trackers only you idiot

 

[NYRB]

Why wouldnt you keep A Agar on after he got a wicket in his 1st over?
