Australian International Summer

[BoundaryRider84]

Finch gone for 4. Get rid of him!

[whufc]

Head had a shocker with the bat in hand today

Hopefully just a bit of over confidence

[GWW]

Hopefully its just a matter of Head getting used to NZ pitches.

Minor details

[The Bedge]

Stoinis & Faulkner to hit big 100's and Australia do the impossible and win this game?

[DOC]

Whats worse:

Finch has captained Australia or Wade will?

It used to mean something.

[whufc]

Stoinos has been impressive this innings

Has showed a lot of composure and thought more than his ordinary t20 innings have shown

[DOC]

Yep:

Need 8.5 per over from here. These two will need to get it close to have a chance.

[The Bedge]

Stoinis 70 (79).. aussies 7/178 in the 39th over.

Going to need about 100 off the last 10 overs, definitely get-able, a lot rests on the shoulders of these two though!

Would be an incredible effort if they got it

[whufc]

Ffs Starc that was fricken terrible!!!

School yard stuff

[The Bedge]

Foolish by Starc, had taken 9 off the over already, could've seen out the spell and reset next over.

AUS 9/226 - need 61 off 42 balls.. Stoinis 98 (93)

A very very very impressive ton by Stoinis

Technique, skill, brains, work rate this innings had it all

Yep, he's had a terrific all-round game with bat and ball - definitely proven me wrong! Hopefully this kicks on and he can have this sort of influence regularly.

Agree I haven't rated Stoinis at all

I definitely think his more a batting all round but if canshow that patience with the bat early in his innings there is no reason he can't bat top 5-6

Well done Oil!! He was an interesting selection given his form this season but great for him to grab his opportunity and capitalize on it.

I honestly can't see Mitch Marsh playing this kind of innings in this kind of situation, he'd be well out by now. In the past when Australia has been in strife like today he has consistently failed when given time in the middle after the top order were dismissed cheaply.

[Grenville]

He's played very very intelligently. How small is this oval, the keeper is standing in row g.

[helicopterking]

Stoinis playing stick cricket at the moment.

[am Bays]

Stonis 650 Shield runs last year at 38, this season 87 at 14.

Bet he's spewin' that he hadn't made runs this year as he'd be #451 not Cartwright.
