10th Match - Australia v West Indies

[morgieb]

Yikes.

Windies look like they'll go very far. I'm not sure how their batting will fare batting first but their bowling looks really lethal right now.

 

[Burgey]

Lol Maxwell that's terribad. Basically vindicated his exclusion for most of the past three years with that one shot.

 

[Starfighter]

it's nice to see australia still do this sometimes in world cup games

It's about peaking at the right time remember?

 

[quincywagstaff]

Reckless from Maxwell but that's how he plays, should've brought Stoinis ahead of him in this situation.

 

[Flem274*]

get smith to hog the strike. only bloke with a brain today

 

[Groundking]

Got a bee in your bonnet?

It's nice to see after all the hype about you lot actually being serious shouts for the WC when the fundementals of the team haven't changed from when you were getting spanked every game.

 

[Burgey]

He's been very good in ODIs of late, was immense in India and the UAE. Windies saw an opportunity with the short ball barrage and executed it well.

Doesn't bounce above waist height there.

At least Stoinis is in - he'll steady the ship. lol

 

[Top_Cat]

somehow, I don't think we can blame Usman's **** innings on being moved to three

No argument, bloke's soft as butter. But would you disagree that ****ing with the one thing that was working was a bad move?

We didn't just loose to Pakistan.

 

[Dick Rockett]

I am loving this.

 

[smash84]

Lol, aus doing a Pak?

 

[GotSpin]

Reckless from Maxwell but that's how he plays, should've brought Stoinis ahead of him in this situation.

no...no...NO!

 

[Flem274*]

Jeez that's like giving a height test to Peter Dinklage

at least dinklage turned his height into millions of dollars.

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Didn't Stoinis score 87 at 3 then never bat there again?

 

[Bahseph]

Yeah was just about to say that my doubts remain about the batting but this type of bowling is amazing. Smith is there though. Don't think anyone else is more capable than him.

 

[morgieb]

khawaja that was awful

who is he averaging 40+ against? probably us, tho i don't remember us facing him in odis

Average ballooned against India and Pakistan. Was in subcontinental conditions though.

 

[Zinzan]

Ha, Just when I was about to rant about why the Windies would bowl first on a used wicket that may slow up.

Being bullied by the short-stuff eh. Must be somewhat humiliating.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smith to make a solid 47* here

Maybe Cummins will hang around with him long enough to make 50

 

[Starfighter]

Average ballooned against India and Pakistan. Was in subcontinental conditions though.

Who'd have thought that 'Khawaja advantaged by playing in Asia' would have been a thing like... ever.

 

[Second Spitter]

Come on, let's roll them for under 150.
