Thanks for all your work setting up these threads throughout the tournament Gough.

You'd reckon we might consider earthing a few of the bowlers and especially Maxwell..... But with it team selection I would be surprised to see them put at risk

I think McDonald has already indicated he wants to put this best team possible on the park.

Its basically a dead rubber and we will end playing the Saffers in the semi

I would like to see one of the quicks rested..maybe Hazelwood and Abbott be given a run

and this fascination with stoins is doing my head in.... he can't play spin

green is such the better option plays spin better ..better fielder and better bowler...I just don't get it

 

[frankrizzo]

stoinis needs to be bowling 8+ overs every game to make any sense, his batting last few years is more what you expect from a decent number 8, Strange thing is aussie cricket media seem to agree with CA hardly ever any questions asked about why he is always first choice player with such awful numbers.

Good luck on stopping me in the finals, i am ready to end this world cup with a double ton against my favorite opposition. I win the world cup, Mutton biryani on everyone here from me.



That will be $50 per biryani plate

 

[Ekomaira]

not that it matters at all, but what would we need to finish 2nd over South Africa?

If we bat first, by around 250+ runs

I have never had a biryani that tastes remotely palatable. Why is Indian food so delicious, except biryani. Tastes like soggy muck soiled with sheep dung.

 

[Westend]

Okay Macca and Cummins seeing this game is a dead rubber

Open the bowling with Abbot and Green give them the new ball

rest Starc and Hazelwood get them ready for the semi final against the Saffers

Bit of a pity from the point of view of the tournament that Bangladesh today have more to play for (Champions Trophy qualification) than we do.

But imagine for a moment if there was no coin toss, the away team always chooses, and in tournament play where there are neutral teams, the team who chooses is shared equally and preordained match-by-match before the start of the tournament.

Then once the knockout phase is reached, the higher ranked team earns the right to choose.

Given South Africa's struggles in run chases (even last night they made hard work of it by the look), can you imagine the stakes involved in last night's and today's game? Both teams would have had so much more to play for, even if they wouldn't necessarily have admitted it publicly.

 

[Grasshopper17]

If we bat first, by around 250+ runs

Yeah I just crunched the numbers... It's between 220 and 225 depending on exactly how many we make.

If we bowl first, we'd need to make 100 in about 13 overs, 200 in about 15 overs, 300 in about 17 overs, etc.

 

[1990crow]

Result here basically means nothing right?
Be good if our bowlers and top order could get some form though.

 

[largebus]

No point playing Maxwell today after his cramp.

 

[Dump Truck]

Good to see Abbott get a gig

 

[Moonwatcher]

No point playing Maxwell today after his cramp.

Does cramp have a lasting effect ?

 

[Balls In]

Smith in for Maxwell otherwise unchanged. Stoinis very very lucky.

 

[largebus]

Does cramp have a lasting effect ?

It can't help if you get it and then exacerbate it by doing physical activity for another hour.
Match is a dead rubber anyway

 

[Balls In]

Good to see Abbott get a gig

Missed that

 

[Balls In]

Does cramp have a lasting effect ?

Yep. Also heightens the risk of muscle tears and strains.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Carey not getting a go in a dead runner pretty much signs his papers for the rest of the tournament.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Do we believe we need more practice chasing? I would have batted first with the view of getting as much form in both batting and bowling as possible.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Carey not getting a go in a dead runner pretty much signs his papers for the rest of the tournament.

Would be interesting if Inglis made ducks in the next 2 matches what we'd do in a final. We'd obviously have winning form so would probably stick with Inglis.

If Carey is not getting a game now, there's next to no chance he'll replace Inglis in the knockout games - unless there's an injury.
