Amazing form from Wee Davie. 78 ball hundred.

Looking at the stats for ODI openers, Amla has the best- he has the best average for anyone with over 2000 runs and his SR is as good as anyone's apart from Warner and de Kock. Not sure he quite gets the recognition. Rohit Sharma is the only other opener averaging over 50.

Bit of a long shot, but there could just be 400 on here for the Aussies.

head will need to get moving for them to get close to 400

hard to achieve that sort of score with someone who has faced 90 balls and a s/r of 80, even the way warner is going he isn't making that up

and when warner does give pakistan a chance they drop it

amir this time drops a bit of a dolly

Given the context, Wahab is doing well.

150 for warner from just 107

still think 400 is unlikely unless maxwell gets in for the last 10 and goes crazy

100 for Head as well , been over-shadowed by Warner but a solid maiden 100 in ODIs

warner doesn't make it to the 200 but might be good for australia as he was cramping up really bad

surprised smith came in at #3, thought they would promote maxwell in this situation but smith doesn't last long anyway

looks like wahab has hurt himself badly taking that catch tho

Bad fielding as usual by Pakistan. Warner and Travis were brilliant.

just shows what a great position australia got themselves into there when even with a bit of a scrappy finish they still got to 369

sharjeel looks a dangerous player, probably needs to work on his fitness a bit as he seems to run out of steam and not really make the most of the starts he gets

fails again to go on and make a big score, when your team is chasing 370 then he needs to be able to keep going as he looks to be the only player pakistan have that can score at the sort of s/r to keep them competitive in games like this

7 hundreds for Wanrer last year, 2 already this year. 6 hundreds in his last 11 matches as well. He is certainly in some form.

Head gets a 100 as well, though at a more pedestrian rate.

A great series for Australia, but the 5-0 drubbing from SA must still be in the players minds.

they had quite a few bowlers missing from that series iirc

was one of the weakest attacks i can remember australia putting out so not sure its that representative
