The problem is that if we keep insisting on using the ODI side as a job interview for test cricketers, we'll get the occasional test purist struggling away in the ODI side rather than the format they are truly suited for.

bad hands unpacking his bags for the windies tour
3, 1, duck, duck in the shield. and nsw dropped nevill for him!
India just suck though, Dhonutz should've ran out the aussie players at least four times by now and each time hasn't been paying attention.

Damn you Win, showing The Golden Girls on GEM instead of the end of the Innings.

Also yes Kohli shouldn't act like that on the field, would be nice for cricket to be the gentlemens game again one day.
Apparently Dhoni will be up for a one match ban again for slow over rates? The rule obviously doesn't work, make it a fine for every single player on the bowling team instead. Might get more pressure on them to get through them.
Someone on the commentary team even said it was going to be on GEM! Would have been nice to watch that DHussey six.

They do fine the bowling team sometimes, I know the whole Indian team has previously been fined for a slow ODI rate. I think it was like 25% of their match fee?
I'm not sure that works though either. The best way to stop it would be docking overs from the offending team's innings.

Good stuff from most of the middle, openers went ok as well. Will have to bowl/field well and try restrict runs.

110 off last 10 overs have put us in a great position. As long as we bowl tight lines and field well (actually make some run outs for once) Australia should win. All about keeping that pressure on to pick up the wickets.

Ha dropped a sitter then got another next ball, would have been shitting.
Think Kholis wicket may have been worth more in the scheme of things.
Anyways "Not today"

Good to see the bowlers go when they have a good score to bowl to. No pressure.

Funny listening to the commentary talk about the TV shows like they actually watch them.

Did Healy just get the characters names wrong from the Big Bang theory, thus completely unraveling his supposed genuine love for the show and exposing Nines pathetic cross promotional efforts?
Edit: Hahaha, just corrected himself after the break!

I hate being at work on a weekend, but I love being able to watch cricket at work. What a woeful start by India.
Ugh, horrible trend from the US.
Yeah, they need to acknowledge that the games are different.
Fucking numpties.

Yep, looks like a finger crusher into the dirt but a catch.

At least Kohli is consistent in acting like a 4 year old child.
Also weak batting by India. Once Kohli was gone it was game over, score is a bridge too far for Dhoni to rescue this time. Already need nearly 7 an over from here on out.
Nice that we had a victory on a day that I can actually watch the cricket finally. A few of our batsmen need to play their natural game after their efforts today though, great knock at the end by the Hussey Bros. and Christian.

Kohli's tears after getting caught out, pure gold.
If Kohli is acting like a 4 year old then Australians have an image of acting like 2 year olds ..
Good that he's rubbing you guys on the wrong side. Like this one;
That Kohli reaction definitely did stung quite a bit. Nice!
edit: This Dhoni/Lee battle is getting quite interesting. Lee is definitely not keeping his cool.
