Dunno why they insisted on sticking to the wide line outside off stump, when that's literally Carey's hitting zone. Has just creamed anything on that line all tournament

Yeah this was why I didn't want Maxwell in so early. Given he's the only world class icing player in the team you have to save him until quite late especially given he's not good at building an innings (at least at ODI level). Whereas a block/bash merchant like Stoinis should be starting early and despite batting #7 Carey is mostly cake too.So I was correct.
Aim for 310 and you may end up with 325. Aim for 350 and you end up with <300.
285 disappointing from being 0/100-odd but still defendable. First 10 overs key, to state the obvious.

more of an alex hales thing iirc. of course, we're ok with that as long as he doesn't fail a drug test

It’s not pointless in these conditions and of course he’d bat ahead of Cunmins and Starc. Fmd he would be ahead of Stoinis in this line up too. Darsh isn’t the answer - he’s in the sheds pulling cones and is older than water.
285 is a good total on this deck but feels under after that start. Need it to stay overcast and to bowl full. Carey again very handy at the death. Done well this WC.

Like constantly dredging up Siddle. But Langer also has the WA thing going.

Although his most obvious replacement is also from WA so

Won’t get within 30. Should start worrying about their next game already. This one’s done.

his purple patch was SA giving him some wickets in a couple of games
his 2018 series against england, for example, featured 76 runs at 15 and 3 wickets at 74. this series was included in the votes that led to him being ODI Player of the Year

Gonna be an interesting selection actually. One of Starc and Cummins has to break down (aside from Pattinson again). There's a clockwork certainty about it.

Strange time to bring it up given that he was clearly England's best bowler.

Bloke's being taking wickets for fun in England for several seasons now. Averages sub-20.
