Yeah got that summer storm feel about it, not convinced it’s holding off till 7pm

Yeah, very humid for Melbourne. If the storms don't arrive I reckon there'll be plenty of swing.

I was leaning toward Pakistan but now that England have won the toss and decided to bowl I think England have got to be big favourites now.

Pakistan are likely to do what India did and post a safe score.

England will also have Duckworth Lewis on their side if the game ends up weather-affected.

Great bowling from the Poms, especially the last few.

Can we only give them 10 overs to make it interesting?

Aus v Eng ODI.

I'm going to watch at least some of it. Maybe not the middle overs where they usually just tap it around.

That's the problem with this format, boring as bat **** for 35 overs each innings.

Used to love ODIs but I'm over it now.

Test matches I love. Can handle T20 if it's a tournament, so has some meaning.

ODI is much more fun when there's something in the wicket for the bowlers.

Australia so often serves up flat tracks thinking high scoring games are the ultimate outcome.
