Cool. Tim Paine has given India the kiss of death.
A bonus chance to put some egg on face.

At least our keeper can score hundreds you Australian Fuck.
Jeepers, I’m channeling a lot of @Virgil with that post.

@crucial no one gives a fuck what you think Tim. You're a bog-average cricketing footnote only selected as a PR exercise to try and get the mums of Australia to like the side again. Jog right the fuck on.

He needs to get tips from Cantabs on how to dismiss the worth of the game when his team isn't in it.

Make him look less of a loser if India wins, the team that thumped his rabble at home earlier this year.

It really goes back to your post about respect.
Unfortunately, the way Australia beat seven shades of shit out of us and then lost to India - you can see why Tim might think this way.
It sort of ignores lots of other stuff though - including that pretty much everything that could go wrong did on that tour. So hopefully, that tour was anomalous - and this forthcoming game gives us an opportunity to show that.
And that this time we're the guys who've had better preparation, that hopefully we're not going to have any crucial injuries and we're not going to be playing pink ball cricket in Perth where we lose the toss, a quick bowler and start our innings under lights.....
On the plus side, it must rankle the fuck out of Tim that we're in this game and he's not - and will rankle worse if we win.
My prediction is that it will end up in a draw though. Not enough incentive to go all out for the win when the title can be shared.

It would totally rankle him and OZ cricket that we are there and they arent. They have dominated the game the last 20 odd years, multiple ODI World Cup wins, record winning streaks etc. Now at the worse possible time they have a shit team held up by a single cheating fluff bunny and a couple of great bowlers.
This WTC came about 10 years too late for them. -

This WTC came about 10 years too late for them.I’d say three brilliant batsmen, three brilliant pace bowlers and a very good spinner but aside from them the team is shite.
They will fucken arse rape the English in the ashes though.

Coach Gary Stead confirmed his final 15 names on Tuesday, for Friday night’s (9.30pm NZT) decider at the Ageas Bowl near Southampton, as Mitchell Santner, Daryl Mitchell, Doug Bracewell, Rachin Ravindra and Jacob Duffy were cut from the extended 20-man squad who beat England 1-0.

Santner cut!
Henry, Blundell and Young as reserves.
Choice on CDG or Patel presumably based on weather/pitch/possibly toss
I worry that CDG is underdone. If they pick him I'm happy to be proved wrong. At Lord's he got 0 and 9 with the bat, and didn't get any wickets

Pretty much. A possibility that both might play, as outlined above.
I think they've got the XV spot on - though I wouldn't have minded Mitch Jr instead of CdG.
-
CdG is a fine no. 7 - if we want a specialist bat, fair enough, but an average of 36 at 7 is easily international class. I think his batting stats (SR 81.5) also reflect that his job is usually to go in and score quickly after the top 6 have put on sizeable score and they are angling for a declaration. The only reason not to pick him is bowling.

WEll, given they did to us what we did to their super rugby teams over the last month, I'd be picking absolutely anybody over them in rugby too.
So understand where he's coming from.

@majorrage and yet we thrashed the Indians just after they beat Tim Paine.
Me thinks tim might have a bit of tunnel vision... -
