65/6. How the fuck Macca has a job is beyond me.
You think we could get away without a batting coach?
Jesus - this is a humiliation!
Macca takes his coaching lead from the How to Bat Like Chris Martin DVD collection.

Some of these thoughts are a bit late.
Get farked, fark off Luke Ronchi you useless spud. Just can't bat with any responsibility whenever the situation requires it. EVER!Hope Tom Latham can bat through for a hundy. Just needs someone to stick around. At least we don't have Tim Southee batting today... oh wait. Fark.
Man are we hopelessly out of form. Could be a long summer.
-
@Donsteppa To be fair, google tells me he's been our batting coach for more than two years so he's been going alright for part of it. We seem to have been afflicted by numptyism for this match in particular.
At least we're past our lowest ever ODI total - got to get past 103 to beat our worst vs India and in India.

Southee should open the batting next match at this rate...

190 all out. Glad I watched the final few overs of our innings after wearily checking cricinfo to see Southee get going.
Credit to Latham, played exactly the innings we want from him every game. Now we just need the other 5 blokes in the top 6 to score more then 19 fucking runs.
Looking forward to waking up tomorrow to news of Southee taking 7-20 to complete one of the finest all round performances of all time...

@No-Quarter 0-57... seems he's a specialist batsman these days?

And I'd missed that Latham did indeed carry his bat. Legendary:
Openers to bat through an ODI innings and be not out when the final wicket fell:

A batting allrounder, I reckon we use him as a pinch hitter like we used to use Adams. Chuck him at 3 or opening and see if he can get 40 odd quick runs.

Well one of the other "all rounders" made a great return with the bat getting third highest score, Doug Bracewell will be thrilled with that.
Shame it was only 15 runs.

Christ - we've lost the toss.....AGAIN!
Are we being cheated? That's five in a row. And the Jaapies lost four in a row in their test series vs India - haven't checked their ODIs if they had them.
At least Kane and Tom are putting together a decent partnership after Guppy fails......again.
-
@Chris-B. looked it up for ya mate: sth africa won the 5 game ODI series 3-2, every game won by the team winning the toss... they played the ODIs before the tests though, so obviously decided at that point it was better to win the toss from now on...

So the Indians have won nine tosses in a row at home? Aren't the odds of that about 1/500?
I'd usually just accept the statistical anomaly, but since India,Oz and England so brazenly stole cricket, I'd think cheating at the toss would be a mere bagatelle!

In Kane we trust.
