You must be cheering that your mate is back is Aussie colours.
Interesting to see how Finch goes in both the T20 and ODI matches, can he put some runs on the board?

Agar will go 0/56 off 3 overs and wont be needed with the bat.

No faith in Finch unfortunately, he fails here he might not be in the WC team

I turned off when KRichardson was bowling pies, his recent international stats would be worse than Agar

Looking at the highlights Finch survived an lbw shout 3rd ball by a splinter.

Yeah Finch was lucky to survive thanks to ultra edge and made the most of his life.
