10th Match - Australia v West Indies

[TheJediBrah]

This Aus team is full of people I hate. I'd rather us lose than Stoinis and Carey make runs.

 

[Spikey]

iirc the only thing the Windies need to do when bowling to Smith is go for the leg stump

 

[mr_mister]

Stoinis is overdue for another 146 type knock. Smith won't give his wicket away

 

[mr_mister]

And goddammit Maxi

 

[Moss]

Smith has been very secure so far.

Didn't expect anything less from the best batsmen in the world

Hilarious listening to commentators talking about Smith

Smith is >>>>>>>>>> above any other player

Get over it

 

[Starfighter]

That stand with the up-tilted, non-rain sheltering roof is ridiculous.

 

[Burner]

Brathwaite looks so out of place here.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah look, Smith could nick off next ball or pop one up, but he’s been more comfortable against the short stuff than anyone. Other blokes popping it up or getting stonked, and he’s calm AF. Class player.

He's on 10 ffs

 

[Top_Cat]

Things worked with Warner/Finch for a lot longer, despite Finch's well known inconsistency. So I would argue overlooking the longer working thing for the shorter working thing would have been the bad move

Well let's see how well ignoring recent form plays out then.

 

[Moss]

Just bring yourself on Holder if you must have the second change bowling at this point.

 

[Zinzan]

The way he left that one outside the off-stump though......

Hel ton up here

 

[TheJediBrah]

Other than Smith the Aussies all have atrocious techniques & footwork. It's painful to watch.

Hel ton up here

he better get on with it then

Holder does tend to go at seven an over so maybe not much difference anyway.

Its a odi world cup not a test series.
Smith is comfortably the best test batsman in the world.
But he is nowhere near the best odi batsman in the world, he is not even best batsman in the australian team!

Yep, it was obvious to everyone he missed a trick bowling 125-130 km Brathwaite with Stoinis fresh at the wicket.
