I can understand this, but getting Mendis started would have proven very profitable had Dimuth hung around, losing Matthews early was a huge blow tooGame is over, Aus will win by 50ish.
Lost by the batting against Maxwell.
Thirimane was an embarrasment against Maxwell. Just blocked him, literally didn't play an aggressive shot. Dimuth also.I can understand this, but getting Mendis started would have proven very profitable had Dimuth hung around, losing Matthews early was a huge blow too
Also I wouldn't make a call until Thisara is gone too, he's capable of unreal heists

I didn't see that innings tbh, he's hopeless against offspin. I think Dimuth's problem was that he simply decided that he wasn't going to score in front of square, led to the field placement that put the clamps on and then had him caughtThirimane was an embarrasment against Maxwell.

Mendis is still a baby everyone forgets. He's allowed to be hot and cold at this stage of career. Hadn't even made his ODI debut when the last WC took placeMendis is much the same, hence the go slow, preventing a collapse was the number one priority but it's really time for someone to go now
Tbf DDS while in poor form is definitely a better bat than who they just sent out at 6 and 7That is the end of it I guess.
yeah as good as that innings was, the majority of his early runs were scored with the pull and the flick off the legs/hips. once aus wizened up and bowled the right line and a bit fuller, then he really struggled for fluencyI didn't see that innings tbh, he's hopeless against offspin.

Not really a power hitter though, would back him to get us home from a reasonable position if the run rate was about 8, but not from a tough position with the rate pushing 10Tbf DDS while in poor form is definitely a better bat than who they just sent out at 6 and 7
True but don't see him capable of scoring 9 an over for a good length of time. Mendis perishes as I say. Done and dusted one would think.Tbf DDS while in poor form is definitely a better bat than who they just sent out at 6 and 7
Maxi as well has brought his WC average back up to an awesome level with the not out today. S/R still ridiculous too ofcstarc in a world cup is a cheat code
