T20I 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup - Non-Australia games

[The Speaker]

The format of this is so self-defeating - holding warm-up games for the 'big' teams while the tournament has already started? And they'll be using it again next year, thankfully gone by 2024.

Here's hoping Oman knocks out Bangladesh.

yep for me it definitely undermine and devalues the lesser teams at this tournament.

 

[Seedsfan]

They did play some ODIs this year as part of League 2 but yeah they've been starved of international cricket during COVID.

I just copied what the commentators said. But I stand corrected they must have been referring to t20i

 

[NYRB]

The thing with Oman half way through their innings, they were on top of the match. Where the difference lie, was the experience of the Bangladeshis.


Its important to give these minnows as much exposure to the developed nations in order for the game to grow and expand. They aren't that far off- is the point I am trying to get at.

Bangladesh is an example of this exact point.

Exactly right, it’s great having the tournament played in associate nations. To see the facilities are amazing

 

[NYRB]

This is a left field thing but is it worth paying up to read premium stuff from Cricbuzz.com?

thought there was an interesting article on the significance of this T20 world cup

 

[NYRB]

[corbies]

Tough dropping for Ben Cooper. Got run out by his partner for a first ball duck in the 1st match and dropped.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Warner fails again in the warm up game.

ed: then Marsh goes first ball

 

[Aussie_boy]

Finch and Warner is just not filling me with any confidence. Throw Inglis up there or something.

Inglis bats in the middle order for Perth and WA.

 

[Hamez]

Maxwell put the mozz on Marsh.

Warner is terribly out of form.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Yeah I'm sorry but Warner has to be dropped, in woeful form and it is to close to the start of the tournament to persist with him. Open Stoinis and slot Inglis in at #6.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Finch and Warner is just not filling me with any confidence. Throw Inglis up there or something.

It’s an indictment on the selectors that we’re going into a WC with that opening pair. They’ve been ordinary for some time.

 

[magpiemaniac44]

Looks like we are still horrible at playing spin

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Looks like we are still horrible at playing spin

No we are a horrible team period

 

[Torz]

Looks like we are still horrible at playing spin cricket

EFA

 

[Hamez]

Nothings changed against spin bowling.

 

[BACCS]

Our ability against spin in the shorter forms is why I can’t see us going anywhere in this WC

The standard and quality of the minnows has improved dramatically ( long way to go ) , its great to see and great for the game

 

[The hands of stone]

Warners cooked, has been for 12-18 months .

Would be very suprised if we got out of the group stage

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That’s on the coach. There’s good players of spin not picked.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I was about to post that as I was under the assumption top 4 would go through, I looked it up and it's top 2. There is basically zero chance we get through, this team is the definition of ordinary.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Why are we so hesitant to select Inglis? It’s ridiculous.

Pick your in form guys, I’d have thought.
