Aus v Eng ODI series

[Gingerfinch]

Being a leftie is another reason he should be in.

I'd like to see Billings get the gloves over bairstow to be honest..he's in the side ahead of him already with the bat, give him the gloves and see how he goes..

looks a lovely late summer afternoon in Manchester

morgan wins the toss and England bat , bairstow for buttler is the only change

[rich1uk]

that was a surprising stat , steve smith is the most capped player in this Australian team

our seam bowling has been disappointing in both of the first games imo , we lose both and don't make any changes , doesn't make a lot of sense to me

Interestingly, I see a lot of people saying Bairstow needs to go back to Yorkshire for some form

Wasnt he averaging over a 100 for the season until a couple of weeks ago, and scored 90 in his most recent FC game.

wasn't criticising bringing bairstow in , disappointed that's the only change we have made

not sure I agree with what tom moody just said there about needing another specialist batsman , having 1-4 all as specialist batsmen is fine , problem has been stokes hasn't looked good enough to bat as high as #5

I know, it was an observation I shared because his name was mentioned.

Hastings warming the bench as he seems to do everywhere he goes apart from Durham.


He must have a wooden arse with all those splinters.

He must have a wooden arse with all those splinters.

To be fair, his performances for Australia in the past suggest he is lucky even getting an arse full of splinters. Good to see James Pattinson back

Good job roy is scoring freely, four boundaries in five balls

Means hales doesn't have to worry about his slow start

[Aidan11]

Has anyone obstructed the field yet?

[backfootpunch]

Hales just keeps hitting it straight to the fielders
