1% humidity. Didn't realise we were playing this one in Death Valley
It actually makes zero sense. How on earth has Inglis become a mainstay? His keeping is fine, not great. Keeps failing when under any sort of pressure situation with the bat. Carey is the better keeper and actually has proven WC form from 2019; heck, he made 99 against SA only just before the tournament.

He is averaging 15.88 with the bat and 43.7 with the ball since March 2019, he shouldn't be batting or bowling, and his fielding is sub club standard. He shouldn't even be there.

I thought it was 1% chance of rain.

It was. Hayden said 1% humidity and was rabbiting on about it until he was corrected.

Haydos obviously getting paid by words by seconds
Shut up Hayden! Uses 1000 words to say something that could be said in 100 words. The Dermie of cricket commentary.

Gee I hope we win the toss in the SF. Bowling looks ordinary. SA will be licking their lips if they get to bat first.
Cummins isn't a white ball bowler period really. I would prefer him only playing tests, he is not economical or particularly wicket taking in white ball cricket for a while now.
How we have got this far in the tournament with basically one decent fast bowler is an enduring miracle of the universe.
Cummins has been our best fast bowler this tournament and taken some important wickets and a decent economy rate, but he’s best used outside the power play. To be fair, this pitch seems to have absolutely no life in it for the bowlers, will be a grind.

Don't know why Green didn't get a game ahead of Abbott
Have you been watching other teams this tournament? Outside of India, teams seem to be really struggling to take wickets early. It looks like we are playing on a turf pitch today, seems an odd decision to bowl first.
SA love to bat first against any team, making them chase is our best chance of winning.
Abbott is a better bowler and they rested Starc. Green should have come in for Stoinis though.

Not the only one of our bowlers in that category

Marginally better bowler. Green is a much better bat though

Yes but we are very ordinary at taking early wickets even compared to other sides. And I'm well aware of SA's record chasing v batting first

Paid by the old guard to rag on this Aussie team as much as he can.
Amazing just how impotent our attack is

Yeah I think we should park Starc, Hazelwood and Cummins from the limited overs team after this world cup like England did with Broad and Anderson. Both bowlers got better in tests when they retired from limited overs cricket.
We've got enough depth in state cricket who actually play limited overs cricket domestically.

Probably our worst WC squad in a long while and we still made semi finals. If we're having this trouble fielding first against Bangaldesh, imagine what the saffers will do?
