You're a dead set embarrassment.
It's more the bowlers that need a special game. If our place bowlers can somehow have a good game against their batting we can be a chance. Get smashed like near all game except the semi and a couple others it's not happening.
Least I am a positive weirdo

Yeah, someone is going to have to play an absolute blinder, no doubt.
Gonna be fun. We can't do any more in this tournament then we have to this point.

Good one mate.
Yea good to win but has to be said that was a situation where Smith, Lab and Maxy should have been able to steer it home comfortably. And they just didn't. Very poor by them.

This doesn't really make sense, Warner, Lab, Smith and head were all in before their big shots

You should all be happy that I'm supporting India, it helps your chances of winning.
If I supported Australia you would be no chance.

"we"
Chasing remains bloody tough, even if you have the good fortune of favourable first innings bowling conditions.
If Cummins brings his lucky coin and can send us in to bat, we have a chance.
India would remain favourites chasing almost any total, but under the lights 300 plus would give us a contest.
It's difficult to see us chasing over 250 against India or indeed keeping them to a smaller first innings total than that.
As has been said before though, the SF victory should be savoured by us on the sidelines. As an ODI side we looked about the fifth most functional unit headed into the tournament and after our first two games.
Man for man, South Africa looked a better fit for this format. Making the final is a big achievement.

I was glad it ended up being a competitive game, a shame that SA couldn't get up but they probably would have been smashed in the final.
Australia might get smashed too but I think they will put up a better fight than SA would have and hopefully it is another competitive game.
I can't see it beating the 2019 World Cup final though, it would need to be out of this world amazing to beat that game.
which advert is your avatar from?
2019 was so tense it had me standing and pacing for the last 10 overs.
Thankfully you follow the Saints

Can’t believe they didnt drop that dud Bevuma, did they seriously think he was going to turn his rubbish form around in a cut throat semi? Selfish campaigner should have dropped himself
Cost them big.
Cost them big.
The question is, should NZ finish above South Africa as NZ lost to India whereas SA lost to lowly Australia.
Making the final has to be a big pass mark for Australia's campaign. No team has beaten India at home and I suspect no one will this tournament.
I don’t know what to say, really. Three days till the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to Sunday. Now either we heal as a team or we’re gonna crumble, inch by inch, ball by ball, 'til we’re finished.
We’re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. And, we can stay here -- get the shit kicked out of us -- or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one ball at a time.
