favourites one would think.
Negative three for 5? Surely overwhelming favorites
Edit: Pakistan$1.07 to win
Root still there though.
That's why they're 1.07 not 1.02

Bugger. I was hoping to get up and watch Root and Brook take it to the Pakistani bowlers but overslept. Glad I did now.

ODI and T20 matches against Pakistan before the Indians arrive.
Aussie have a new ODI and T20 skipper as well.

The 2nd ODI between Aus and Pakistan is on at 4:30pm NZT today, for those that did not even realise the first one was on (like myself)

the first one was a walkover wasn't it?
-
@nzzp should have been but Aus got the jitters during their chase and lost a flurry of wickets before getting to 204/8 with stacks of overs left. If Pakistan can put a decent total on the board, e.g. Babar goes big, then they are very chance.

On paper Aussies won by 2 wickets, but it wasn't that close.
England just lost series to the West Indies. The third match had a couple of oddities. Firstly, not super weird but a poorly timed injury meant that a part timer is had to bowl 3.5 overs at the death and predictably got tonked for almost 60. Secondly, and much weirder, another bowler got in a huff with the captain over field placements and walked off after completing an over to sulk in the dressing room, leaving on 10 on the field. He showed up again a bit later, then left again, then came back again. Ended up bowling out and taking 2/45.
Weirdest of all, both of those happened to the West Indies, who still won comfortably by 8 wickets with two centurions.
-
Well this is a spanking. Aussies unable to deal with Rauf again and bundled out for 163, now Pakistan 102/0 at drinks. Youngster Ayub started slowly but is striking it beautifully now.

Neil Wagner (we still luvz Wags) has a memoir iout.
He promoted it in a 30 minute, pretty frank, interview on Radio NZ last Saturday
