I'm noticing a distinct lack of Marshes in the Aus team. Where are they? Think we need to petition to have them re-instated.

Shaun should be playing instead of Khawaja

Anyway - shit start from our guys as the Windies pace attack breathed fire and pissed lighting. Couple of stupid/lazy shots didn't help, but some of that short bowling looked golden age stuff.
Except for the 24 wides. That stuff will lose you games, particularly the leg side 5W. They got progressively worse with their line, then once they fixed that, their length went to shit.
Jeez there was some good catching from the Windies in close (Waj) and out on the fence (Smith). And some fucking awful efforts in dropping or misjudging catches from Smith or Coulter-Nile.
I was expecting to lose TBH but Smith playing better than all those booing fluffybunnies could ever dream off, and Nathan NCL giving it the yeah-nah-fuck-this treatment and showing the top order what they should have been doing.
Finch fucked up.
Warner fucked up.
The Waj fucked up.
Maxi fucked up.We still won.
Mostly because NCL's 92, but the pressure bowling - once we figured out short bowling doesn't work - won the game.

His ODI form has been good in the past two years. So has Khawaja's, but I think he edges him in a head to head
Most of the Aussie batsmen struggle to keep the score ticking in the middle overs particularly against spin. With Marsh and Smith in the team it would minimise that problem
If I was picking the side they'd both make it though. Finch would get dropped and Smith would be captain..

Khawaja nicely illustrated @Baron-Silas-Greenback's point about modern batsmen on flat tracks, and the potential role of a Neil Wagner. Khawaja neither ducked nor swayed nor tried to hook the short ball, just turned his head away and got sconed..

right in the sweet spot too, that would have hurt like fuck

Coulter Nile's innings is, unfortunately, so Australian.
Team in deep shit and some guy who's never done anything remotely like that before comes out and makes 92 at a 150 strike rate.
Previous highest score of 34 and he'd only got to double figures four times. His T20 figures no better.

@NTA finch got a good one ( I like him
, he's a country type)Smith is like some autistic idiot savant with the bat. Fuck knows how he does it, his technique is un- coachable and the angles make no sense but he seems to treat every ball with so much ease.
Rainman of cricket with a helping of asperger's
How many questioned why NCL was ahead of Cummins? Fuck, what a knock

he plays like it's the back yard. moves around the crease, plays the ball late as fuck. Must be a nightmare to bowl to.

Must be nice to come in with Smith batting at the other end putting the bowlers off their shit. Highlights package showed NCL getting a fuckload of full tosses - you've still gotta hit them but fuck he HIT them.
That big 6 from Russell was massive tho. @MN5 probably creamed his Chris Gale-print jocks.
If it was Gale hitting it, he would have died.
