A feast of cricket today, the test and now Aus v Pak and Ind v Eng. Though Ind v Eng is hard to watch as there's a weird high pitched siren-type noise going the whole time.
Pakistan in with a real shout here. 140 needed from 192 balls (take note Sky NZ - that graphic is up 100% of the time) with 9 wickets in hand. Helped by Smith dropping a sitter.
I wish they'd just leave Lawry in the box for the entire game. He does a great job evening out the constant flow of crap from the other comms.

Well, despite the recent criticism Pakistan have done what we didn't really get close to doing - beat Aus in Aus. When you see them put a complete performance like that together you have to wonder how they have been so dire the past couple of months.
In the other match England smacked 350 from their 50 and then had India 63/4... and lost fairly comfortably in the end after Kohli and Jadhav went beserk. Pretty awesome match by the looks. Fuck India are hard to beat at home.

Haha Warnies ego might take a hit if he reads this:
"The boys have rejuvenated my love for the game," he said. "On the field and off it, just the conversations I had with guys like Brad Hodge. Today I got to meet one of my heroes growing up, Stuart McGill, and you can't put a price on that. I will take some great experiences back home with me and hopefully I can impact some of my team-mates."

3rd ODI under way in Perth. Aus win the toss and... bowl?
Starc rested, Mitch Marsh out, Handscomb in

What parallel universe is this?
-
I don't know, but in this universe some kid called Stanlake is getting his ass handed to him some bloke called Khan, and it's 36/0 after 4
-
make that 36/1 because Hazlewood is quite good at the crickets

Was impressed by the way Ish spoke in the interview too
The speed and control of his bowling on a big stage suggests all the ingredients are already there for significant success in all 3 formats so hopefully he can get the mental side right and start ripping through teams in whites one day soon. He seems to fall away in effectiveness in test cricket - bowls bit slower and less consistently although that's to be expected given the duration of spells,
He said he talked to MacGill about patience and longevity of spells - good! -
Naughty naughty
Incredibly fucking stupid by the worst commentator of the big bash

Did he suggest tactics?
@Duluth Relayed to on-field captain that the statistician had pointed out one of his bowlers had got Shane Watson out two times in the last eight balls. So Hodge promptly brought him on to bowl the next over at Watson.
-
ah shit.
Passed on a stat about one of the Adelaide bowlers had dismissed Shane Watson twice in his last 8 deliveries to him. Lo and behold that bowler got the next over.
Now, Hodge probably (almost definitely) already knew that, but it's not a good look.
The guy in question is a tool, and just seems to excited to be along side, or talking to, some of the most famous cricketers in the country. Fuck him off.
