Also nice to see Tom Curran out there as replacement for Starc. I see he was making friends with Watson hehe

You're a "fking pie thrower" is an interesting chirp when he's just got you out.
I'll try that one day this season.

Watched a bit of this over the weekend - it was entertaining stuff. It’s nice to see so many top class international players playing together.

But if previous years are anything to go by it goes on way too long with so many repetitive and meaningless matches. However the money involved in it all is phenomenal which is no doubt why the organisers try to get as many matches out of it as possible.

Anyone see Trent Boult's catch on the boundary? Astonishing!!

That and Jofra Archer's 93mph Yorkers were the highlights yesterday

Fantastic game tonight , bloody brilliant Jos Buttler batted like a one day god 95 NO off 60 balls with just two 6's

This really is the best one day series around , Dhoni not impressed at all .

Dhoni, instead of blaming his bowlers, may want to learn to catch and actually have a plan of who bowls when.

Clearly he doesn't trust any of his bowlers to bowl at the death.

Watson bowled only one over, think it was the 16th, first 5 balls all on the money that just went for singles and then Buttler played an outrageous reverse pull for 4 off a perfectly decent delivery and he doesn't bowl again. Weird.

Great game though, gotta love the commentators who all doubted Buttlers ability to see it through.

The Final is currently on & looking like it's going to be a fitting end to a great few weeks of bash it about Cricket.
