***Official***Match #39- Australia vs Afghanistan - November 7th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

[Son Of Coco]

Australia are just a tougher team than us, they almost always step up in big tournaments/moments. Obviously we are doing very well but the way they have bounced back after an uncharacteristically poor start has to make them at least co-favorites, if not the outright one.

Ha!

India playing at home, and we are favourites?

Ok.

This is up there with Kapil's 175 off 138 after coming in at 17/5. That was batting first, and this was chasing. India were 77/8 at one point. I wish I could have seen that innings. I'm glad I saw this one.

You'll also remember fondly that it went to a good cause.

So is Tom Hanks going to play Glenn Maxwell in the movie about this match?

Wonder what his message to them was,

“I know what it’s like to **** up with a lot at stake. Don’t worry, you can still make a ton of cash and live comfortably. Folks will still worship you and say you’re the greatest ever”.

This message was made possible through the generous donations from the Ambani family...protectors of the Wankhede stadium, Mumbai.

I note a lot of our English friends have gone to bed instead of staying up to celebrate with us. If the shoe was on the other foot we would be up all night with them.

It's 8.44 so only the old blokes are in bed. Personally been helicoptering most of the evening in celebration of this great innings.

Have the afghans taken out maxi from the world cup?

Ok.

Obviously the ICC wants an Indian win, hence the umpiring appointments to their games and the way the draw has been arranged.

But they’ll choke. Too much pressure for them to handle. Happens all the time with them. They’re lucky they ran into SL in the 2011 final, who out-choked them on the night.

I think he took them out of it tbh.

I think he took them out of it tbh.

Can he recover in time for the semis?

 

[Burgey]

He just needs another knock on the head, miss the Bangladesh non-event then off he goes again.

Would consider resting him, Smith again, Starc and maybe Haze from that game tbh. Would also consider a Carey return for the bootlicker, who’s done SFA since he came in

You can guarantee it would have been boring. The most soporific speaker.

 

[Spark]

Holy **** wtf

I still think Inglis looks the most likely to contribute positively to the team but it could be worthwhile at least giving Carey a shot in the dead rubber just to see if he's had some kind of batting revelation over the last month

As soon as Naveen opened his stupid mouth while simping for the Taliban, they were never going to win.

I hope we focus on the important stuff, which is Stonis sucks
