My thought is Cricket Australia just want ODI to go away, so they make it shit!

Maxwell got 51 in a run chase of 70… I still can’t get into the short game, be it 20 or 50 overs. No chance for a game to develop, no drama, no tension.

Much more interested in Eng v NZ at the moment. Despite facing 481 to win, England are looking like the Ashes aren’t going to be any sort of test, other than a test of the viewers stamina.

stamina is what you’re gonna need when you only have 3-day matches when you’ve got alcohol allocated for 5 days.

Siddle eh? Didn’t see that coming. What I, and I’m sure most everyone else, did see coming was the all-too-predictable Australian batting card. What I didn’t see coming was Steve Smith being the anchor of said batting performance. Can’t wait for Day 2!

Australia after bowling well probably lost 2 too many wickets in the last session.  
The deck will start to break up around day 3, so a decent first innings lead would go along way towards winning.

Agar passes ohh ahh Glen McGrath as the highest scoring australian 11. Also we’re now in front. #Interesting
