Congrats Finch not that long ago we all wanted u dropped. I can also now understand Carey’s selection over Paine for ODI’s. Probably why I’m not on the selection panel.
Yup, nice performance from finchy , doing well, 123 for 118 not bad at all!! And smithy hanging in there with him for a 50 also .

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundarm_bowling
In the modern game, the Sri Lankan pace bowler Lasith Malinga has a very distinctive action which is authentic roundarm.[2]This has earned him the name "Slinga Malinga". There are some who question the legality of this action, but it is legal, because his arm does not straighten from a bent position as he bowls. This is the strict definition of bowling vis-à-vis throwing. In fact, many bowlers bowl with a slightly bent arm; the key is that they do not straighten it as they bowl.
Agree legal but Muralitharan was a bigger chucker than me after far too many beers.

Great batting display by the Aussies.

Shame Maxwell got out when he did, would have made 400.

Warner highest score by an Aussie in a World Cup game, I think most Aussies would be very happy for him.

Hope the rain stays away.

Kawaja got Mawell out. Maxwell was on pace to record the fastest 50 ever.

We're only halfway through main draw and it already feels tired and drawn out.

Switched over to watch the last 5 overs of the Indian innings, expecting them to be 2/340 or something. Afghanistan kept them to 8/224. Great effort by them, some pretty decent bowling. Slow wicket though.

Oh noooo. Windies so close! That was heartbreaking. Brathwaite deserved to bring the win home there.... missed it by a few centimetres. What a shame!
