The World Cup thread

India will score 350

They sure will.

and we will chase them down

No chance.

Michael Slater's continuous pro-Indian commentary is nauseating.

 

[Quintero]

Still prefer them to Michael Clarke.

Yes but at least he is our utensil.
These swarmi flogs will start turning on each other when we are 0-150 of 20.

I can't wait for it.

LuvtheKangas we shall see.

We are not out of this by any stretch. Just got to get through Bumrah

* me, not only is Warner plodding along at a snails pace, he's run Finch out.

He better go on with it.

 

[Twinkletoes]

**** me, not only is Warner plodding along at a snails pace, he's run Finch out.

He better go on with it.

I almost started booing him myself at that point (the run out).

Taking the long stick to the Paki's a.t.m.

0/112 - 18 overs.

Very nice start.

The Pakis are taking the bookies money tonight.

BTW, how good is it seeing Shaum Marsh in the team, only bettered by seeing Mitch join him next game.

You have to be kidding - my simple rule is no Marsh ever plays for Australia again. Now, in 10 years, in 20 years the name Marsh is out. Too many disappointments.

 

[Quintero]

Why couldn't we have bought in Short? He is the perfectect all-rounder.

Haha, 1st bite.

I will say Shaun is still a bloody good 1 day player and it won't be hard for Mitch to match Stoinis' performances, but I can't see them playing in the same team unless Khawaja is dropped or they don't play a spinner

Bowling not good enough. They've got Maxy to get a few overs out as the 2nd spinner. I would have liked Dan Christian instead is Mitch Marsh, though.

When I bag him he usually pulls a ripper innings out of his arse. Lets hope he does again tonight. If so, I will politely applaud.

 

[gokangas]

OK - Marsh is in - here we go (polite applause).

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Was just about to post "How good does Maxwell look when he comes in and plays normal cricket shots" He was 20 off 8, then he tries to play a shot that wasn't there and gets bowled.

 

[gokangas]

OK - so far so good.

Looks more like we’re taking the bookies money!

 

[muttley45]

If Khawaja is not opening, and he shouldn't with Finch and Warner there, not really a spot in the team for him.

 

[Groucho]

Aussies won. Not all that convincing but I guess they did what they had to

They should have made to 50 more runs and our bowling apart from Starc and Cummins has been average. We really need Zampa to start firing.

Didn't matter coz:

Be nice to see Behrendorf and Lyon play. The former would have been near unplayable on a green seeming deck.

Poms can't even organize the rain.

Poms can't even organize the rain.

To be fair, nor can any other nation / race in the world.
