they still have 2 games remaining don't they? warm-ups don't mean much in the overall context of the tournamentNamibia were disappointing in the actual World Cup. Went to pieces on the big (though not as big as warm-up games) stage.

I wrote actual World Cup to bring the thread back to the actual World Cup happening right now as the last page was about a warm-up game. Not to suggest Namibia were finished at the World Cup.they still have 2 games remaining don't they? warm-ups don't mean much in the overall context of the tournament
Sack Asics... but you liked the 2016 one from Asics? Anyway, not sure what you're talking about re Nike, they're doing Big Bash and that's it.Drab T20 kit the Aussies are wearing. Sack ASICS. For style this kit they wore in 2016 WC beats it hands down. Nike has designed us a new T20 kit. Why aren't our boys wearing that here.

All the scores so far have been low, with 3 of the 4 teams batting first not getting over 130. Is this just because they are associate nations or are the pitches already worn out? There hadn't been a game at Abu Dhabi for a week before last night but neither team got over 110. At the end of the IPL there were also many low scoring games as well.
If you followed the IPL (where this WC is being held) the scores were all fairly low, 150 was a really good score. Expect 160-170 to be a winning score this WC.
Yup if we can get to that score we can give ourselves a chance
If Wade plays game 1 we are more than dumb, playing Warner is bad enough when the crab can't hit it off the square! Inglis is a better bat (in the middle order role) and a better keeper
We won’t because we’ll stupidly pick 3 quicks
Hazelwood has improved out of sight in the t20 format and given himself a very good chance
Thats good for us ...having a fit Starc Cummins and Hazelwood...I am happy with that
We don't have to play all three all the time ....need to assess the conditions
And that my friend is why we'll lose. You don't play 3 quicks in a t20 in the UAE. 2 is more than enough, you play the extra spinner. No issue with Hazelwood playing as the second quick actually.
Yeah so you assess the conditions ..Cummins is coming our of quarantine I think so he might be a slow starter and miss the first couple of games I believe
So that gives us Starc Hazelwood for the first game plus the spinners
But the three quicks is a strength for us ....I do understand the UAE is not great for fast bowling...but having the big three quicks in our squad does give us an advantage over the other nations
I personally Believe the only way we can win the cup..is based upon our bowling/fielding... I do not believe we have the batting consistency yet to make scores of 180/200 plus that England/India West indies possess but I do believe we have the quicks that can cause serious damage to those line ups. If we can get a 160 score we are a chance with our bowling attack
Its about managing the squad and the team...that's up to Langer to get his team right based upon the conditions
