T20 World Cup Game 51 Super Eight India v Australia June 25 2400hrs @ Daren Sammy Cricket Ground St Lucia

If the Bangers do us a favour, I wonder if they are bold enough to make several changes this late in the tournament. You could replace any of Wade, David and Starc for Inglis, Green or Agar. Or all three if you really want to throw the cat among the pigeons.

Green and inglis must play next match if we have one.

One of the quicks for Ellis don’t care which one

I don't know many people making time to watch this WC but mostly because it's on Amazon, people aren't signing up/paying extra for T20. Follow the results level of care without caring enough to pay extra is my assessment...

I genuinely have not watched a single ball of this tournament, not necessarily through lack of interest, but I really cbf signing up for yet another subscription service I’ll likely forget about and continue paying, it’s just annoying.

Amazon is one of the easiest services to justify. At $7.99 a month, it's the cheapest by far, has a decent amount of good content, and if you ever order anything off Amazon ever, you get free delivery.

How is it that Afghanistan makes up the run rate winking by only 2 runs?

See... shit the bed

Well you reap what you sow

Terrible coaching and captaincy to bowl first not as much in this game but against Afghan when all the stats and results said that pitch was hard to chase

The batters where typical picked it at the start that we would struggle on low slow decks and it was true. Mitch got. A 30 odd against India but overall he was poor .. stoinis did well when the pressure was off .. David crap . Warner and head okay . Wade a waste of space .. having the talent of Inglis and green sitting in the pine was criminal. Should of at least been brought in against Scotland and give the team a rest

And that’s another thing too many older players over 30 who couldn’t back up with this format back to back games and it showed in The field multiple dropped chances as the tournament progressed

Bowlers I thought where okay except for Starc shitting the bed against India

Well done Ronald McDonald another t20 World Cup where you failed to get us to the semis great coaching

Time to clean house and bring in some fresh players ….Fraser Inglis greenie Ellis please

We were absolutely cruising till we played someone decent. With the amount of quality we have in this side, it's a pretty pathetic effort. Of course Agar's implicated... not his fault but f**K me why was he selected?? He never should've been in the squad.

Crazy the catches India held and one's we dropped.

and oh yeah, f**k you Bangladesh

yeah

the blame is with the coach and the captain for there stupid decision to bowl first against the Ghans on a wearing wicket that history had told us it was harder to bat on in the 2nd innings

 

[Freezin]

If changes are made, then some short term pain in missing out in this comp, is necessary for Aust's long term gain in this format. Definitely time for a separate T20 coach as well, fresh eyes and all that.

Time to blood and back in the likes of Short, McGurk, O Davies, Hardie, Bartlett, and Connolly, even do what they did with Warner many years ago, and give young Dixon a crack, despite no 1st class experience. More air time for Inglis and Ellis, and cut the cords of Wade, Marsh, Maxi, Stoinis, David and Starc in this format for ever....so many opportunities sadly.

Gonna be a rude shock when people realise the reason that Australia haven't picked all the guns outside the team (grrrr selectors) is that those players aren't international standard.

It's possible, but don't tell me Inglis and Green aren't international standard. The balance was wrong and the blame probably falls on selectors for the period leading up to the World Cup as opposed to the Cup itself. The criticisms that the side was old and declining is not hindsight, it was being made long before the tournament started.

And the other way, on what planet is Tim David international standard? I'm waiting for an answer on how this bloke gets in slogging a few sixes in the ipl off hacks

Yup 100 percent

I see Australia chose to bowl again.. it’s been a bat first tournament… you need to adapt or you get shown the door..

Luke your been calling David and Wade our best “finishers” for ages haha

TBH though Australia didn’t have the spin depth to win a tournament in the Windies / USA… Afghanistan already have 3 spinners better then Australia and there only a developing side

its not really the spinners that win it.....its the low slow pitches that lack pace and bounce ...for the quicks mediums as well as the spinners...thats where our bigger boys marsh stoin David struggle with touch...its whack through the line all the time..

inglis was picked due to his ability as a touch player...and to bat in the middle ..precisely for this situation...why he wasn't given a single game is just criminal from Ronald McDonald ...smacks of playing his mates...boys club mentality

Stoinis got luck early in the first game was dropped on 11, should have been out 11 (17) first game, couldn’t drop him after smacking 70 odd and same with Warner, every man and his dog knew Warner was shot but he scored runs early on in the nothing games so couldn’t drop him and they made Marsh captain so again couldn’t drop him.

Top 5 horribly out of form / shot and the early games conned a few.
