Ohh tonight? Cool! Thanks for the heads up!
Any changes to the team? Doubt it considering how we'll they've been going, but Haddin must be on thin ice, get Paine in there.

We won the toss and have elected to bowl, no changes to the team.

Douggie and Johnno are bowling some unplayable pearlers. Douggie has been very impressive.
SL 0/41 (9)

Yep.
The openers played and missed dozens of times. Quite a bit of juice early on in the pitch due to overnight rain. The openers rode their luck and are cashing in on our ordinary slow bowling options.

Nice ball Johnson, I will give him credit, ordinary attempt at the shot though. I’m not entirely convinced this good form from Johno will carry over to the real stuff though.

Its time to go Haddin, you simply cant eat up so many balls in a chase like this and go on and fail. Hasn't batted well all series, Tim Paine its your time!! preparation for the WC must start now.

Yep, Haddin needs to go.
And Punter gone, real shame as he was looking superb.

Steve Smith should've been run out for a diamond duck, was out by a mile.

The sooner Haddin, Smith and Dussey are out of the ODI side, the better.
I just realised White isn't playing, and assuming he played in the T20's, I'm assuming they finally dropped him after his woeful past...well, 2 years virtually.

Yeah he got dropped from the ODI team for this tour but was captain of the T20 side.
