Preview

3451dThe Preview by Daniel Brettig

Familiar venue, vastly different context

Little more than 18 months after Australia belted New Zealand in the World Cup , the two sides return to the MCG with rather less on the line

Warner's show

59.09

Percent of runs by Warner in this inns - the second-highest for Australia in a completed ODI inns. Highest is 60.73% by Martyn (116* in 191) v NZ, Auckland, 2000.

A record year

No. of 100s for Warner in ODIs this year - the joint second-most by any batsman. Only Tendulkar (9 in 1998) had more; Ganguly also made 7 in 2000.

Bad start

Score at which Aus lost their first 2 wickets - the second-lowest for them at MCG in 40 ODIs since 2000. They were 2-down for 2 vs WI in 2012-13 here.
