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

Mark Wood suddenly gaining 5kph in pace this year in T20s at the age of 31 is surely all down to good nutrition.

Bloke's teetotal so that's probably a big factor. Just unreal at 32 how he's progressively getting faster!

Yeah it’s a real testament to modern training methods isn’t it

More to do with Aussie speed cameras than any enhancements.

Hales should know not to smile for a mug shot

New flavour of Murray Mints make the ball go faster.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Mel Jones is excellent on comms btw. Balanced and measured with good insights. Natural behind the mic

 

[Burgey]

Are SL just giving everyone a bowl? Surely this bloke isn’t a regular

 

[Fuller Pilch]

If Malan can't play in the semi*, who else is in the squad apart from Chris Jordan.

* Yes I know, if they win.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Rajitha looks very ordinary

Salt will come in. The rest of their reserves are bowlers (Willey, Mills) or fielders (Jordan).

Tim Southee was getting a couple through in the 140s the other day. I don't think he even did that 12 or 13 years ago.

 

[Burgey]

No snicko? He’s cut that in half

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Salt will come in.

Forgot about him. Thanks

Not like you to bring that night up

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good start this. Carry on lads.

 

[Pup Clarke]

If Malan is unfit for the Semis, could they call up Duckett from outside the squad or is that not permitted?

Be sweet if Aussies get knocked out with Hales or Stokes hitting winning runs.

They can but they have to replace him entirely, he couldn't come back for the final.

I think they'd rather pick Salt anyway though, otherwise why select him in the first place?
