Did Marshmellow score another duck? 

You obviously know the answer, so why post? He can't take a trick at the moment! He'll have to make a mountain of runs for WA to be considered for the upcoming windies tour.

For the Aussies, do you feel as I do that the massive hype channel 9 have made about Warner has put the bloke in a position where he looks like he feels almost obliged to go for the miraculous every time he bats? I'm a fan (how could you not be) but the pregame promo clips, constant replays and comentator reference and even re enactment of the switch hit and even mic him up during practice to talk about it has been way too much. Channel 9 are clearly pumping it up for ratings, understandable, but I feel for Warner who has been used so much how could a young man possibly bat with a clear mind? I wish they
Would leave him be so he can just bat

I will not read too much into this victory for India. They will need to do much more to make the fans feel better after a super awful performance thus far.

Because I wanted to.

Was confusing that wade got 70 opening in the first t20 and was then put down the order i n the second one.

see reply 1083 above, not overly confusing if you understand what the priorities for the aussies are, ie having a look at a number of players in different roles therefore to be in the best position to formulate the best combination for the 2020 world cup

fair enough, but your post didn't actually add anything, we all know he made a duck.

It is not necessary for every post to be overtly informative mate. Then half the posts in the forum will have have to be questioned and negated.

This Wade guy looks like a really good player. Another 50 in this rain shortened game.

A question for my Aussie friends--- what are the ticket prices like in these one-day games? Just asking out of curiosity. Someone was mentioning the high ticket prices in England a little while back; just checking what you guys have to say about the cost involved in watching these games.

Agree! Wade is a clean hitter of the bowl! He is a great Wk/batsman. very impressive in the first few games...

I am very impressed with Rahul Sharma..  good bowler..

These are the MCG prices and the rest of the venues would have similar prices depending on where you sit:

The big problem is that food and drinks are ridiculously expensive. $5 for a bottle of water is obsurd

Wade has looked good in his 3 games so far, and he has another 2 ODI's after this one before Haddin is even considered, so if he can score a hundred or continue with a couple of 50's in the next 2 games, then he cannot (logically) be dropped and Haddin wont come in, which is the best outcome.

I think he is tallest leg spinner ever to come out of India.

Interesting. Thanks Langer. Food and drinks are just focking expensive in basically all the stadiums across the world.

Wow! Jadeja figures aren't a pretty sight:

2.4 overs 0/41, economy of 15.37
