The commentary for that first ODI was cringeworthy and that’s not because of any PC alerts. It’s not funny and the constant coaching coming from the “experts” is tiresome.
By the way, Mark Waugh was effortless as a batsman. All the natural ability and obviously worked hard to get to where he was given his brother was getting more of the spotlight.
Technique wise, I reckon Damian Martyn was textbook.

Looks like Marsh is out and young Pucovski is in. Joe Burns too.
This is great news.
Pucovski double ton against WA was a mature innings for a youngster. It’s quite the story given his battles.

@ACT-Crusader I don't disagree with that kids from LA etc. But the fact that this is the most high profile Lakers season and preseason in recent memory you can understand there was a bit more of a spotlight on PG to "come home".
There was talk of DeRozan as well, him being a Compton kid and all.
@Gunner or perhaps Sri Lanka aren’t as bad as their ranking suggests, especially on these smaller ovals.
It was a good contest and both teams came under pressure. Good to get the win.

@ACT-Crusader really? In their eyes he snubbed his hometown team. Not that I agree with it but given the American sporting public penchant for dramatics and media fueling his potential signing with the Lakers in the off season this is pretty typical.
As he said post game, he’s not the first kid from Southern Cal that hasn’t played for the Lakers. He won’t be the last.
As was shown today, PG made the right choice to stay with the Thunder. He’s getting his and the team is second in the West.

We are still favourites if we don't bowl full tosses.
He was still hitting the ones that bounced for six too.
The Hot Dog van almost got one through its window.
Great hitting.

Classy Spurs fans booing a guy who won Finals MVP as a Spur.....meanwhile also returning to San Antonio Danny Green in 26 minutes on the court had 0 points....
The video tribute was good. The fans don’t know the whole story but given the perception is that Leonard “wouldn’t talk” then the booing was to be expected.
The wierdest booing of the season was yesterday when the Laker fans were booing Paul George. That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
@mariner4life Pocock would make the team at openside. His one game there this season was better than Michael ‘Ted Dibease’ Hooper.
