TBH if India lose in a spanking which can always have in a T20 they could be out also if Afghanistan do a job on Bangladesh.

Australia are going to have to win & do it well being the earlier game...Not an easy task

Lose one game for the tournament and at risk of getting bundled out haha

We will progress if we only lose one match.

This isn't a pitch to chase a score. Should have batted first and put the Afghans under pressure to chase.

They said the same about the Bangladesh game too and we cruised in that under probably more difficult conditions. Just lost Maxy at a bad time, he stays and we cruise this in too.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The Stoinis wicket changed the match

 

[Westend]

We've been outplayed all over the ground.

The decision to bowl first on a pitch that was dying out was plain stupid and has cost Australia

 

[FreoGirl]

M Marsh special, shouldn’t even be in the side

does it make you feel better about yourself to sledge The Australian Cricketer of the Year?

Yea hard to see us losing batting first

We did look good when Maxy was out there but it is a dangerous game to play. Not one other Australian batsman got to grips with the pitch. Once Maxwell went out we were vulnerable.

 

[Cmarsh]

We have lost to a country governed by the Taliban. Let that sink in.

 

[Some Idiot]

The Afghan cricketers will be over the moon at beating us after our refusal to play them outside of world cups

 

[Plugger35]

Zippy to the rescue.

Australia has has preferred chasing in white ball cricket for a few years now, this isn’t suddenly a new tactic and it generally works very well for us.

I think you need to see the NRR differentual with India before saying that

dropped catches, misfields, missed stumping, missed run out and overthrows.
it’s very difficult to win with that performance regardless of whether you bat or bowl first.

He has been carried all tournament freogirl

And this captaincy decision was plain stupid bowl first

I love Mitch but he deserves to be criticised

Let’s hope he can find form against India

most of them probably don't even live there anymore

 

[Moonwatcher]

Just 4 sixes.

or four 6s?

 

[Plugger35]

24 needed off the last over.

They would be a chance if Maxwell was still there.

all I have seen you do is whinge the entire series - it's like you prefer to do that than kick the dog

it's disrespectful imho

yeah, it was really disappointing when he got out

In this case, it was the wrong decision based on the pitch conditions

Game would have been over if Maxwell had been there.
