***Official***Match #14- Australia vs Sri Lanka- October 16th-Lucknow- #BottomDwellers

[Gob]

Hahahaha the lbw was hitting. Thought it looked good live

But Joel did not cause he is blind

 

[BazBall21]

How ****ing **** is Joel Wilson ffs

I think he's brilliant.

 

[Starfighter]

This is ****.

 

[Burgey]

I think there's a real danger of analysis paralysis in terms of preparation and what have you.

This team just isn't that good, particularly in these conditions. They've played a little worse than they actually are, but they were always going to be upper mid table at best IMO. India are just better than them and while I expected them to beat SA I thought it was a 60/40 game so not exactly the upset of the century.

If they actually lose here I'll be much more surprised by it all. But I expected 3rd to 6th, and losing to the favourites and another mid table side doesn't need a Royal Commission into where it all went wrong.

I really think one of the big issues with this side, especially in these conditions, is they have to play Cummins because he’s skipper when he isn’t very flash at all as a LO bowler.

I wonder if he's completed his counselling yet.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Fmd inglis’ keeping is bad. He’s not in the same postcode there

Your own fault for picking overseas pros

Yeah. He shouldn't be a walk-up start in the XI but if he doesn't play it'll be worse because he's captain and it gives the worst kind of person ammo. Really, he probably has to step down as ODI captain after this World Cup (and I suspect he will).

I think there'll be an examination of having Cummins be captain in all 3 formats; a massive ask for a pace bowler in a year like this, not surprising he's looking mentally exhausted. And that's not even factoring in the personal tragedy he's had to deal with this year.

On cue, comms talk about the review not the junk umpiring. Drs is the greatest get out of gaol free card ever invented for umpires

Looked like it may have been missing leg to me and the Aussies can't afford to risk another review after blowing that early review off Starc.

At best it was probably umpire's call so not the worth the risk of reviewing it.

That's why it's a big risk appointing one captain for all formats

It was 3 reds and looked like that because Perrera was long way across and hitting the back leg

Wilson is ****

His been getting Smashed in the middles overs since 2020. He use to be way better

When?

Mitch Marsh is T20i captain not Cummins, so he's 2 format captain even though he shouldn't be in ODI XI except as back-up

 

[Sunil1z]

Australia in 2019 WC were carried by Starc and Warner. Both of these guys being out of form at the same time has resulted in Australia looking toothless

 

[BazBall21]

Warner was a better player in 2019 than he is now too. Goes without saying.

harsh on Finch

 

[DriveClub]

Starcs getting paranoid with mankad now. Either run him out or just freaking bowl

 

[loterry1994]

When?

Before then but ever since he went for big money in ipl think that was 2020 his getting smashed around more than ever. And mainly keeping his spot cause of his captaincy and test reputation

 

[King Kane]

Wilson is ****

Wilson is **** but that was far from his worst call, surprised there was 3 reds for that tbh, I thought there was enough doubt for him to knock it back.
