As I mentioned earlier, we'll have the best NRR of the losers having played the tournament favourites.

Disagree those left arm spinners all are effective over in India. He’s a bigger loss than many think especially when our brainless selectors pick a batsman to replace him. The whole squad has errors since the beginning, and blind Freddy knows it
Has been our best spinning option in the warmups
Blah
Nope, this definitely looked like the Australian cricket team.I don't know which is more painful... watching Australia playing the in the rugby world cup or the cricket world cup. Perhaps the teams got mixed up and swapped out.

Rahul finishes it with a six to win the game but costs himself a chance of a ton.
He needed to go four and then six, he knew it too.

Was our best spinner tonight. The issue is his batting but really how about the top order bat decently to give a platform. It’s why I hate the Marsh as opener thing it would be better him at 5 and Maxwell at 6. Open with Green

Never enough runs we’ve done well to only lose with them chasing it with 10 to go. Not going to blame a catch in the field when the game was over after the terrible batting
Not the end of the world

Will be if we get smashed next match with Head still 2-3 games away at least. Did feel we had to split our first two games, we aren’t beating England on form they just are a lot better and that’s not even considering NZ

Australia are ahead of Afghanistan and the Netherlands at least and England thanks to the Black Caps belting the suitcase out of them.

Not really but dew does come into play in India.
Yeah, I thought the dew would be a factor... I'm just a bit puzzled by Australia's thinking in batting first. I would have thought making India bowl second with the dew coming into play would have helped minimise one of their clearest advantages over us in the quality of their spinners. And I'm not sure you want Kohli chasing runs...

We’ve been hopeless chasing lately I sort of agree (or at least understand) with it but just not against India with Kholi the bloke dead set averages 100+ chasing.

It's the hope that kills ya hey!!
Marsh is obviously one of our best short-term players but he'll want that whole day back.
4/20 and Kohli out with minimal impact and it's game ******* on.

Talk about the hope killing ya!!I don't know which is more painful... watching Australia playing the in the rugby world cup or the cricket world cup. Perhaps the teams got mixed up and swapped out.
Portugal need to win by 8 for the wallabies to advance and they are currently up by 7...
For the uninitiated in rugby Portugal just winning would be one of rugby's great upsets, let alone winning by 8.
There is surely no way this happens for Australia.
For those at the back who missed it the first time:
Across 2020-21-22, he scored 1300 runs at almost 40, and a strike rate of over 120, and he bowls, and he is a gun fielder.
Does that explain it?

Similar story with the Ashes. We have the opposition on the ropes and we let it slip away through either throwing away a cheap wicket or poor fielding. India still could've chased it down, but 4/20 with Kohli out and it's an entirely different game.
