Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

[Shady Slim]

far out thats excellent stuff by rashid regardless

 

[mr_mister]

What a knock

 

[morgieb]

Had they not completely lost their head in the Zampa over this would've been a relatively easy Afghan win.

Fair effort from Afghanistan. Were pretty competitive in all 3 games and probably could've won this game.

 

[Xix2565]

Well played Rashid and Stoinis. Ibrahim has questions to answer smfh.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Shame. But for 2 terrible overs Afghanistan should've won that.

 

[morgieb]

Surely that brings an end to Richardson's international career? Would've been a much bigger win without him.

''we'll certainly be following it"" says Maxwell in reference to tomorrow nights game.

 

[mr_mister]

Is Jyhe Richardson not available? Has way more white ball experience than Cummins while also just having the feel of a potential top tier bowler

There's such a clear low ceiling on how good Kane could even be

 

[duffer]

Some of y'all surprised by Afghanistan? They've literally always had super talented teams the past few years.

Unfortunately the state of their country means their national team aren't going to be able to get to the next level anytime soon.

I remember being very hyped for them in 2019 and they disappointed me big time

Feel they've come back to earth a bit since Rashid was consistently bowling them to international victories 4 years ago but tonight was good stuff

 

[Victor Ian]

Gee this has been a **** performance from Australia this WC. They don't deserve to make the finals, so I'm really hoping for a Sri Lanka upset or some rain so some others suffer more.

Tbf they’ve had less changes of leadership in their country than England in the last year

Could say the same about Zimbabwe aswell , lots of talented Zimbo players have left cause of politics and financial ruin .

I exclusively predicted a couple of months ago a mediocre performance from Aus in this WC, and I have not been let down.

Yet in one sense I have been.

life is full of paradoxes

 

[Spikey]

man green scoring those runs in india just completely broke the brains of the people picking the team eh

 

[mr_mister]

Green looks like he's overthinking batting way too much

Just ****ing launch it you're 6'7

That was actually what he is trying to do since starting to open

He's been bowling in the shield for the last month, but tbf he was coming back from an injury so not selecting him for the squad is forgiveable.

This team is just performing at such a low level compared to what they could be. I don't want to sound like a boomer in the facebook comments section but I think they really need a proper coach to hold them accountable.

 

[Bahnz]

Shame, if Rashid had come out at 5 Afghanistan might’ve won.

 

[Burgey]

Shame, if Rashid had come out at 5 Afghanistan might’ve won.

He might also have got caught up in the insanity of those two overs
