we might

more concerned with our middle order playing spin and Mitch's bad run of form

You'd think us and India seal our semi spots tonight. And then ideally we beat them next game to finish top of the group.

All our opponents from now on will be dangerous.

Would think so...Supposed to be a heavy turning surface...My guess is Cummins will get the chop out of the 3 seamers

The pitch conditions in St Vincent make the Afghans a very tricky proposition with their quality spin attack.

Elected to field first - Agar in for Starc

They're a reasonable chance in these conditions, but if the top order fail they'll be toast

Agar getting it to go at right angles.
Zampa will be unplayable.

I'm thinking around 120 could be a decent total

Australia made the right decision to bowl. We simply don't know what risks our batsmen would have to take if we were batting first.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Baldie is unplayable

 

[yabsy]

Wonder if Maxwell will bowl a full set of overs as well

Head could be a shout too

 

[Moonwatcher]

Almost the perfect over

Almost the perfect over

Yep except for the pie at the end take 6 off a power play over though

An we stop bowling leg stump trash to this bloke

 

[Gough]

This feels like a half decent start on this pitch by the Afghanis.
