Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Good start, Afghanistan batting and are 2/28

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

I'm not sold on our bowling lineup.

Starc and Cummins are class, but I think Coulter-Nile can be targeted and Zampa isn't a worldbeater. Be very interesting to see whether this attack can contain the likes of England and India.

There is a sameness to our batting with Khawaja, Marsh and Smith all similar in the way they go about their runs. Stoinis can't work the singles like he should be able to as well and his bowling is something other teams might fancy they can get after. A lot relies on Maxwell maintaining his form

Agree that our bowling really does rely on Starc and Cummins making the inroads and I think I'd prefer Lyon to Zampa.
We have a good side just not a great one but if Warner, Finch Smith and Maxwell make plenty of runs we might do OK

The enigma that is Pakistan. Horrific in the first game v the Windies, knock off the tournament favourites in the next game.

Wasn't that just brilliant. Brought the Poms back down to earth.

Great win by Pakistan. The cricket world is that much better when they are performing. They certainly have the players required to win it. I hope they go deep into the finals. I have a soft spot for them.

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Afghanistan threw away a real opportunity last night. Did a great job to pull Sri Lanka back, but couldn't get it done with the bat.

Sri Lanka is in a world of hurt though. They're going to be a very average side for a long time.

Yep, I love watching Pakistan. They do and always have played like the greatest park cricket team in the world.

Australia v West Indies, starts at 10pm tonight

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Really poor start it seems, but Smith and Carey have settled the innings. Hopefully they can hang around for much of the final 20 overs to notch up a decent score.

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Smith out for 73, Coulter-Nile still batting, 67no

7/253

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Amazing fightback by the Aussies - Smith was superb in holding it together. Well supported by Carey and Coulter-Nile - looking at around 280 hopefully. Given where we were that is amazing

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Also, Maxwell will not want to see a replay of his dismissal......awful

Re: World Cup Squad - 2019

Coulter-Nile highest score by a number 8 in World Cups. so far 89 no

Edit: Out for 92, Australia 9/284 10 balls to go
