Aaron hardies had another shocker of a night with both bat and ball, I really don't understand the hype around him....never seen him score runs or take wickets or not get round the park..... someone who's seen a lot of domestic cricket in Australia might be able to tell me otherwise but I really just don't get the hype around him

Teams play such little 50 over cricket now, most teams are picking their 50 over side based on other formats. He's not got a great 50 over record, so struggling in the format isn't exactly a surprise.....

I wouldn't judge him on that. His FC all-round record is great.

These cames have been swinging either way but by small margins. But that's an absolute trouncing for SA.

Odd that Labuschagne didn't bat.

only two wickets fell - the first one after 250 runs had been scored.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I thought he is a top 4 bat. Maybe that's just Tests.

Define "top".

(he was dropped from the last test side - or two - wasn't he?)

The selectors are nothing if not flexible - some might say indecisive - with the score at 0/250, someone made the decision that Green is next one in. 2 balls later, Green was in. Probably didn't want Marnus slowing things down.
