Who will get their 100 first.. Warner of Head?

Kiss of death never fails me!

Let's be honest, the odds of Head getting caught on the fence while in the 60s-70s were pretty strong.

He looks more nervous than a Chihuahua stuck in a lion exhibit.

Man it’d be great to walk on top of the stadium there..

Why does Lucas Wood's face make me think of a cartoon villain?

 

[chemdog]

aus in cruise control should win comfortably

I'm disappointed at the lack of Wood/Willey gags

Steve Smith is the most complete batsman I've ever seen.

Warner's done his job

There are some know it alls on TK who think he shouldn’t be in the side

 

[Dogmonster]

Go Australia, shut up you barmy pissed flogs.

Very comfortable win in the end. England need a few blokes to go deep in their batting innings with Malan.

@Mr 95% , that was a Steve Smith master-class.

Innocuous question. What's the point of this current ODI v Poms games? There's some test games vs West Indies and Sth Africa coming up, which I can understand leading up to an Ashes series. Who needed or wanted these ODI games vs England?

Changed his stance..doesn’t move around the crease as much.. Always working on his game looking to improve it..even at the latter part of his stellar career..pretty impressive..

Was having lunch yesterday with a mad cricket guy. He played 2nds for Qld on his day, still plays and coaches at a high level. Didn't even know the game was on when I told him.

The days of the cricket "tour" are over. It's just rock up for the shortest time necessarily, play games and go.

Yeah the old days it’s be a test series against one touring side November to January..than a one day tri series with the same test nation and one other country..mid January to mid February.. Now only the Ashes is a ‘set’ 5 test series..

Good to see he has tweaked his style, overuse of the back foot and also cut back a bit on the excessive fidgeting. He was cheesed off he didn't get the nod in the T20 apparently.

This ODI series v Poms just seems a bit random, especially less than one week after a T20 world cup final. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the test matches this summer.
