Ballance is a good addition but that means Moeed Ali and woakes are going to bowl their full quota which could be dangerous.
 
Basically Eng have put all their eggs in Andersons Basket, if he could get them 2 or 3 quick wickets, we will have match in our hand.
 
Nice to see the World Cup back in Aus, great sight.

England too confident to bowl here.
 
Yah, they have to pitch it up, otherwise Aussie will slaughter them
 
Broad bowling rubbish, you need to pitch the ball up rather than bowl short.
 
The dropped catch might cost England, can really be frustrating for fans
 
Finch on a role here,

These 2 complements each other very well. usually its warner ho scores quickly today he is facing problems with moving ball so Finch took over.
 
The graphic looks like we are back in 90s, creative team of star sports needs to be sacked.
 
Going to be long 50 overs for English team. Poor decision to bowl first. Rain shouldn't be influencing your decision to this extent.
 
I don't get which Finch is termed as a hack. He is not bad. Might not be test class right now but not a hack.

He gives you a chance playing high risk shots, but he is very effective with this. Can hacks be effective?
 
Am I the only one who hears a bunch of drunk Aussies in the background? Sometimes over the commentators voice.
 
He gives you a chance playing high risk shots, but he is very effective with this. Can hacks be effective?

it's not about being effective. He can play shots off both back and front foot. Hacks don't have so much options available.
 
Along with stupid graphics the ICC have started with the most boring commentators.

Warner warming up.
 
Aussie batting looks pretty thin, only Smith is probably capable of playing the long innings.
