Who does Australia want to win? Wouldn't want to meet Afghanistan , WI or NZ in the finals.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Australia would fear NZ more then Afghanistan

 

[Around the Wicket]

Windies are so enthusiastic about T20s, I reckon there all but done as a Test nation.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Williamson choosing to bowl first shows panic, this is a bat first pitch every day of the week.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

By bowling first they get a chance to see how the pitch plays before they bat on it, I'm guessing that's the reason for bowling first.

Was rain yesterday too, half their practice was cancelled PLUS you don't wat the Windies chasing

 

[Gough]

Nice looking ground.

See how it plays out looking at that pitch it’s going to be a nightmare to chase on imo

 

[Around the Wicket]

Charles is so shit wouldn’t amount to anything before the T20 era

 

[Around the Wicket]

Windies need to settle and play the ball on merit, attempting to slog everything at the moment and going no where

 

[Gough]

Dave Dobbyn getting a workout.
Edit - Since 2021 Sir Dave Dobbyn

 

[Around the Wicket]

I don’t even know why they have the flying fox camera it’s the worst view going

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Windies don't know any middle ground, lower your score expectations guys jeez this isn't a 200 pitch

 

[Around the Wicket]

Ferguson gets spanked a lot this bowling change could spark something

 

[Gough]

Three wickets in the power play, what a disaster.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Hopeless batting by Windies just trying to flog everything lol

Hopeless batting by Windies just trying to flog everything lol

That's all they ever do. It is why I'm amazed someone like Shai Hope isn't there and yes I know his form isn't fantastic, but if Roston Chase is at 4/5...are you actually serious? Where are the genuine batsmen?

Gets wickets but like Starc can go for plenty in the process, love watching his death bowling though

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Another one bites the dust

Windies do realise they can bat properly right lol

This is a 130-150 at best track stop trying to slog each ball out of the park

 

[LukeParkerno1]

West Indies just a small tip from me

There's no IPL rule where you can bring in the X Factor or Super Sub...

Stop brainless slogging and bat at 5-6 an over no risks it's actually mindboggling dumb batting

Why is Rachin in to bat so low?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why is Rachin in to bat so low?

They have a good top order, and he can play both roles.

 

[akkaps]

They have a good top order, and he can play both roles.

He's struggled down the order when he made his debut a few years back. And only since bringing him up the order has been made a name for himself.

Similar to a maxwell

 

[Plugger35]

The Windies 49/5 at the halfway mark.

He's struggled down the order when he made his debut a few years back. And only since bringing him up the order has been made a name for himself.

Similar to a maxwell

Mitchell is off the field with a finger injury so Rachin might bat higher up the order if he can't bat.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Windies only need to get to about 130 and it’ll be game on imo
