Holy fuck 6 wickets in 3.3 overs, that's nuts!! Please bring that form back to NZ...

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."

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.
-
Not the right way to go about it but if it led to Watson getting out then I don't have too much of a problem with it.

Very much a case of the ends justifying the means.

Watched a bit of the game last night. The commentary team was so bad I had to turn it off. I really miss the great 9 team of the 80's and 90's -- they may have been pro-Aus, but they appreciated good cricket and gave both teams a fair go.
The current lot ..... not so much. My ears hurt.

@nzzp is that the Nine guys? Yea, so bad. Slater, Healy, Clarke, Warne and Nicholas are the absolute pits. Tubby too easily led.
Big Bash with Gilly, Flem, Ponting, and Waugh much better. And Andrew Symonds has been really good as well (his Geoffrey Boycott impression was excellent)

Yep, the current Chanel Nein (as NTA would say)
Radio commentary >> TV commentary in cricket.

I think it's really progressive that the Aussies selected a trans-gender for last night's game, "Adam" Zampa is a champion of diversity.
Oh, and Aus towelled up Pakistan, scoring 353 and winning by 86. Warner smacked a quick 130, and The Big Show creamed 78 off 44 with some inventive cricket shots.
Pakistan started alright, but only looked to have one guy in the lineup who can score quickly enough to have a crack at that target.
