Greens got a back injury and will fly home immediately.

CA were so careful with him at the start.
Then the big money of the IPL came knocking.
Next thing you know he's playing all 3 formats.
Really disappointing.
Will Hardie be a smokey to replace him?
Or will they go with an opener and drop Smith back down?

Great catch from Maxwell
Can't begrudge him for chasing the cash IMO.
Of course you can't.
I'm not begrudging him anything.
Does he really need to be playing in these meaningless tournaments though?
Was just pointing out CA have gone from a conservative approach with him, to this.
Starc getting spanked.
28 of the last over
5/312 from 39 overs.

If he isn’t fit then I’d like to see Hardie come in to bat at 6. Smith takes Green’s no.4 spot, Marsh at 5. Head up to open.
Alternatively Carey could bat at 6 and Hardie at 7.
It is a five Test series so you need some handy seam overs to be bowled in conjunction with Gary to give the three frontline quicks (Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc) a chop out.

Very disappointing performance with a full strength side.
Plus Green’s injury. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious.

Absolute seed from Hardie to get Jacks.

That's certainly an interesting start from Hardie, stats-wise.
I have a theory, and it's entirely based on gut feel because I can't be arsed researching it, but I'm calling it the Curse of the Prodigal Scorcher. It goes like this:
I've been thinking about it a lot looking at Livingstone's series.
- No name/minor player signed by the Scorchers
- Starts playing very, very well
- Subsequently leaves the Scorchers for more money elsewhere
- Is never as good a player again

Might be about to claim another series moral victory if it rains out.
If you keep it outside his one hitting arc in the beginning of his innings it’s pretty likely he’ll get out cheaply. Frustrating player
