Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[Nails]

not ashes related but just turned on SA vs India and Quinton de Kock just got his third consecutive one day hundred

de Kock is really standing up for South Africa    ;)

Safe to say the Indians are finding him to be quite stiff opposition.

not surprised at all by de kock's performances, although they are awesome to see ... the guy has had superstar written all over him for a long time already

should be in their test team already, although i think they're just being careful not to rush him in too early, hope he doesn't play as a wicketkeeper either, because he will be a mainstay of their batting for ages to come, or might start keeper and switch to batsman only like sangakkara

Maybe after some quite frankly flaccid performances, he's decided to harden up and get the job done. ;)

He's a hard man to get out

Any news on starting 11s or changes for tomorrow?

Also, De Kock is a great name ;D  been watching this series! Hope for SA he doesn't limp off :o

With the hot weather Australia will most likely play Nathan Lyon. Harris will play if fit, but Faulkner will probably come in if he isn't.

Not too sure on what England will do. Expect Panesar will go and possibly Swann for Bresnan and maybe another quick. If Swann plays Stokes should, but if he doesn't Bairstow or Ballance will be back.

We should persists with Lyon... He didn't bowl badly last test just bowled without luck. He'll bounce back, has been the best spinner in the series so far ;)

Just like to point out that Phil Hughes has made 549 runs at an average of 61.00 in the Sheffield Shield so far this summer... I dont care if its Smith or Bailey out, just get this kid in the team!

Also, haven't heard Chadd Sayers mentioned much? Best pace bowler in the Shield at the moment imo. 22 wickets at an average of 28.04 :o not bad! If Harris cant get up, would love to see Sayers in.

Confirmation that Faulkner has a broken thumb and will not play at all.

If Harris doesn't get up it will be everyone's favourite Doug Bollinger or the uncapped Nathan Coulter-Nile to come back into the team.

Cutting still should be ahead of Sayers

Cutting has been the best Shield bowler for the last 2 years running and is still doing well this season

Give Cutting a bowl!!

Forecast is 38 for the whole match. Don't see them playing four quicks.
