This game worries me,need Warner and Maxwell to get runs for starters.

 

[NYRB]

Is this Chris Gayles swan song? Guy has been living on borrowed time and his legacy as a T20 player taking a hammering this tournament.

 

[Cleavy]

Expecting the Windies to finally click tonight

 

[juss]

WI have been really poor, but can't take them lightly at all. Huge danger game.

 

[NYRB]

Feels like the kind of game Australia could very easily drop.

A100 % perfomance from West Indies v 80% Australia capacity performance could easily see a Windies win.


I also dont think the Windies would mind the pace over the spin.

Wouldn't England have to get ******* pummeled for us to miss out if we win ?

I do think this is the sort of game we'll drop in the T20 format though.

 

[NYRB]

west indies would love to do a party spoiler

 

[Malifice]

We're gonna do a reverse 'South Africa in World Cups', and * this up letting them in later this evening when they flukily roll England who will rest half the squad.

I can feel it in my bones.

 

[NYRB]

every other team would love to see Australia bow out at this stage.......England included.

 

[NYRB]

South Africa best chance of qualifying would be to bat 2nd tonight against England and chase whatever target inside a certain amount of overs.


Did a few permutations tonight


If WI and England bat 1st tonight and scored 150 exactly. Provided that both chasing teams won , Australia and South Africa, South Africa would have to make up around 19 deliveries in terms of chasing down whatever Australia chased down. eg if Australia chased in 15.0 overs, South Africa would have to chase it down in 11 overs and 5 balls.

Why do you think that?

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Why do you think that?

We're kinda hated worldwide... Steve Waugh's era made sure of that

Sandpapergate didn't help either

 

[NYRB]

Australia won the toss and elected to field first.

 

[NYRB]

Aaron Finch not thinking about Net Run rates...............LOL

 

[Cleavy]

bowling first and no change to the XI

 

[NYRB]

West Indies (Playing XI): Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran(w), Roston Chase, Shimron Hetmyer, Kieron Pollard(c), Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Dwayne Bravo, Hayden Walsh, Akeal Hosein

Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Sandpapergate didn't help either

I thought he might be alluding to the fact that Australia are a dangerous side

We're not.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like this will be Chris Gayle's last international.

Hopefully he goes out with a bang but with the way he's been going lately it will probably be with a whimper.

 

[Tugga27]

Cummins still in instead of Agar.
FMD.

I can feel it in my bones.

I think playing the last group game and knowing exactly what's required to overtake us is what will potentially fcuk us up. A huge underrated advantage to SA.

 

[NYRB]

All the pressure is on Australia one feels.................they have to win and win well.

Hopefully we win well and take the England/SA game out of the equation.

 

[NYRB]

Hypothetical Situation:

Windies Bowled out for 110 inside 15.0 overs, Australia Chase it down in exactly 9.0 overs

England bat 1st and score 150 from 20.0 overs, SA chase it down in 57 balls

Means South Africa would qualify.

I will suck your nuts if that happens
