    Have Aus let the test success go to their heads? They've picked a great T20 side, but it looks ultra reliant on Smith batting for a long time. It's a team made up of hitters.

    And now Marsh goes and they are in deeeep shit. Relying on Maxwell, Wade and Faulkner to bat for 33 overs.

    They should have picked Usie but it is still a good line up. Just so happens that most of their best batsmen are hitters.

    @hydro11 Either he or Bailey are needed to pull that lineup together a bit i reckon.

    Of course, if Smith did his usual, we wouldn't even be making the comment.

    Maxwell looked to be doing the job, then got out, 161/6 after 31

    Not enough has been made I the ball hitting the stumps and the bails not coming off.

    Fancy bails that light up when hit are all well and good but they're clearly not fit for purpose if a fast bowler can hit them on the full and they stay on.

    Early wickets for the Pakis again.

    68 for 3 in the 14th.

    However ww all know the Aussies can escape from these sorts of spots.

    It's in the bag, must still be a Marsh or 2 left to bat?

    Aus hanging in there, Pakistani spinners making life difficult.

    But the Aussies have Hazlewood, Starc, Cummins and Faulkner. They could probably declare now.

    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.

    Not enough batting batsmen in our lineup.

    Marsh coming in at 4? What?

    Amazing bowling from Ish last night. I'm sure an IPL contract isn't too far away.

    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."
