Aus Vs Eng - 5th ODI @Adel Oval

make it a very Happy Australia Day

@CricketAus:Have a great day everyone! Get behind the Aussie men and @SouthernStars today against England #AustraliaDay #AUSvENG http://t.co/n50Vpa1CY0

Australia have the toss and will bat. Michael Clarke, who is back, thinks the pitch will play well all day. Calls it a "special day."

Australia Marsh, Finch, Watson, Clarke, Bailey, Maxwell, Wade, Faulkner, Coulter-Nile, McKay, Doherty

England Cook, Bell, Stokes, Root, Morgan, Bopara, Buttler, Bresnan, Broad, Jordan, Tredwell

Interesting to see Joe Root back in place of Gary Ballance. Will give another bowling option for Alastair Cook, who said he would have batted first as well.

Why are they picking Root for Ballance? I'd have kicked Bopara out if anything and let Ballance continue.
But then again Bopara does well with the ball, so fair enough I guess.

And I know that it's just ODI etc. - but Marsh does not inspire confidence. AT ALL. I don't know how he's supposed to do well in SA in tests.
I hope he doesn't get a place in the XI - but in all likelyhood he might :/

Finchy on two lives 

dude we have a real problem finding a suitable #3, Kwajah fail, Hughes failed, Cowan failed, Bailey failed
what is going on? they all a buncha Hodges

Finchy lives ran out, bowled by dat skunt Broad
