T20I Men's World Cup, Game 14, Group B Australia v Ireland 11/2 2000hrs @ R Premadasa Stadium

[Hollow Knight]

Just saw the scores, Jesus Christ we are in strife.

We’re ok, despite carrying passengers.

Wtf is Stoinis still doing in this side. Literally played one good game in his life

To be fair to the Rig, he was a top 5 player in the comp. I dont think his international form has been that particular bright when he has worn the Austalian colours. This is a big tournament for him as the selectors seem to be rolling with most of the guys that failed in 2022 and 2024.

Lot of Muslims in Sri Lanka so makes sense

I love hearing the call to prayer. Reminds me of Indonesia, Turkey & Egypt adventures.

Hopefully a sub-continental cricket trip one day!

There would be very few in T20I cricket that average over 30 with a strike rate over 140. Even fewer who bat in the middle order

Or Olympics

I'm still coping with 9now, they had a fantastic run of Olympic coverage the way it should be with individual streams for each sport.

I still remember finding live coverage of some whacky fencing discipline that had not one single English broadcast (not even NBC) and it was just ambient noise. It was wonderful!

Na not at all.. we are playing Ireland lol

 

[outabounds]

Potentially embarrassing result here, its time that Cam Green is called out for the pretender that he is. Looks like Maxi is cooked based on his summer.

Think EPL in England is pretty similar. Need a crazy amount of subscriptions to watch your team throughout the season

It's sad what those in charge have done to sports to eek out every last cent they can. You know the AFL will trying to do the same very shortly too, probably selling games to Amazon and Disney and whatnot so we'll need four different subscriptions to watch our teams

Dont know about you but $46 for Kayo a month is a rort.

Normal strife or “testicular bleeding” level strife?

 

[Westend]

Just bat lads

 

[satty]

Run rate is fine but need one or both of these two to bat to the end. Connolly is in awful form and then the bowlers after that

It's the wickets left that is concerning.

Cam Green has shown he lacks the maturity to anchor an innings. How he duped an IPL team to fork out that much money I will never know.

Somewhere in between. I am not at all confident in our bowling.

Yet we've never seen him close to reaching the heights of his debut.

Marcus Stoinis in T20 World Cups. 14 innings, 381 runs @ 47.62, sr 156. 3 MOTMs.

2 crucial match winning partnerships with Matthew Wade in a winning World Cup. Has been a sensational T20 player for Australia.

Especially when you don't get Sky Channel

 

[satty]

I would take Smith's batting over cam green, and would take the other bowlers over his. I am not sure cam green is locked into our side.

 

[H00t]

I think a consequence of the power surge is that our batters have completely lost the ability to bat in the middle overs of a t20.

There’s an inability to score in the middle overs. Can’t just rely on a power surge to up the scoring rate.

Afl clubs digital membership is around 350 and gets 12 months premium Kayo

Still a rip off but 30/month is alot better than 46

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Na not at all.. we are playing Ireland lol

You seen our bowling attack?

I guess at least Abbott isn’t playing that’s a positive

Maxwell has to be the one in the gun if Smith comes in

Didn't make any runs in the BBL, couldnt hold a catch and barely bowled. Not even sure how hes over there

 

[Jack Mundy]

Aussies are going to lose this match

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Think they’ve played the last five overs well

Couldn’t afford another wicket. Hopefully they’ve set themselves up to score 50+ in the last five and get 180ish

They lose more and more sports each year and the price still goes up

That innings against Afghanistan in the world cup is the only thing keeping him in the side.

Glenn Maxwell. Give me a ****ing break.
