First International starts in 48 hours with an ODI against Bangladesh. Gone are the days when we could write the smaller cricket nations off.

OK guys do you want an extra 2 weeks in Bangladesh or shall we just get this over with? Show of hands please.
That makes it 3-0 to S A and the last two ODIs in the series are, therefore, dead rubbers. Stuffed by Sri Lanka in the Test series, thrashed by S A in the ODIs - no one likes to see the Aussies on their knees.
One interesting thing i noticed from that game is that Aus openers Warner bats left handed but throws right handed whereas Finch bats right-handed but throws left-handed. !
I'll get me coat.
Feed ?
Of greater interest is Samit Patel that bowls left arm and throws right arm

Duckett (will bat at 3) and Ball make their debuts.
Tough gig for Buttler to keep and skipper. Don't understand why they don't give the gloves to Bairstow and allow Buttler to concentrate on the captaincy.
