Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

[Burgey]

Who is Smith subbing for?

 

[ataraxia]

Australia always win dammit

 

[Burgey]

Different bowler when it swings.

 

[Prince EWS]

Jaf.

 

[Starfighter]

Could see that one coming a million miles away. Turns out all Starc needs to recover his pace and swing is the sight of a no-hoper opposition.

 

[morgieb]

Who is Smith subbing for?

Tim David I think.

 

[Spark]

Time to go for the kill here

 

[social]

I mean the actual underlying fact is that T20 isn't that complex or deep a game that having better tactics or instancing is more important than having more talent.

Goes for cricket in general ofc

It’s a very different format

Nobody denies that Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Steve Smith, etc are incredibly talented

They simply aren’t very good T20 players and the difference will be highlighted as the format matures

 

[ataraxia]

Feel for Dockrell, just cannot play it

 

[Spark]

Haha that over was faaaaaaar too good for the batsmen on display

 

[Burgey]

Turns out all Starc needs to recover his pace and swing is the sight of a no-hoper opposition.

Nah, it's the whiff of the finals.

 

[morgieb]

They might not even get to 50 at this point. Bloody hell.

 

[trundler]

Welp.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha that over was faaaaaaar too good for the batsmen on display

Haha I'm not sure Campher did a lot wrong with the one ball he faced, would've knocked over almost anyone IMO. Dockrell though... yeah.

 

[Burgey]

Cummins will put a dent in the NRR improvement here.

 

[trundler]

At least we can still laugh at Cummins.

 

[Burgey]

Tim David I think.

He can't be tired ffs

 

[Burgey]

Imagine getting your head on TV at the cricket and you're inhaling a filthy salmonella hot dog in one bite.

 

[Prince EWS]

He can't be tired ffs

It's not like he'd be catching up with friends at the ground either. He has no friends in Brisbane.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Is there a better bowler than Starc against minnows?
