20th Match - Sri Lanka v Australia

[Spikey]

Narrators voice: They’re not.

tye shouldn't've been dumped and not given another chance tbf. they played siddle instead for heaven's sake. abbott has never got a shot despite having a better record than NCN and Richardson (although if those two fail I doubt he would have done much better)

if only there were a fit wc-winning bowler who is actually very good at bowling accurately that could have been selected

Saving him for the Ashes is just bonkers. Eng batting line up is so **** you need Starc and Cummins alone.

"okay we're getting murdered bowling short nothing balls. how about we pick more bowlers who bowl short nothing balls?"

It’s funnier when you consider he got the problem right too, just didn’t realise what those bowlers actually do.

Other than Hazlewood and the injured Richardson there’s no seamers out of the side I’d back to be decent overall.

It's not like swing bowling has been the key to success this world cup anyway. Of the top wicket takers so far only really Amir has played for swing, he rest have been outright pace bowlers. The only convential swing bowler I've seen bowl a lot so far is Woakes and he's been taken to the cleaners twice.

anyway, australia is playing zero spinners at a world cup they picked two spinners for

haha I didn't even realise Zampa wasn't playing. Nuts. I'd play both Lyon and Zampa at this point, because it's a bit like Bangladesh in tests picking quicks for no good reason when even the back up spinners are better options.

what this side actually needs is chahal or kuldeep, not more quicks

Maxwell done well here. Great control, despite RR Lankan's can't let him rattle through overs at under 5s.

I mean they wouldn't exactly turn down Kagiso Rabada either, but yeah.

 

[Spikey]

starc in being a killjoy shock

 

[Spark]

you mean if you bowl at the wooden things you can hit them sometimes???

 

[91Jmay]

Gun from starc, collapse inc.

 

[Howe_zat]

Mitchell Starc is a party pooper.

honestly i would still even think about it. this team is absolutely desperate for a quality spinner with actual variations but also accuracy.

rubbish shot, surely you don't do that against Starc
