This typically spud performance from the Aus line up pretty much explains why Smith absolutely has to play in T20s even though i'd rather he didn't.

I would get funky and swap Smith/Stoinis with Warner/Finch. As in open with Smith and Stoinis, Warner and Finch at 5 and 6. Need to shake things up

Good end to the innings from the Aussies.

 

[BoyBrumby]

NZ collapsing in a heap worthy of their opposition. 81/2 in the 9th over turns into 105/9 by the end of the 15th.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yesterday Mustafizur bowled a 10-ball over.
Today Obed McCoy sends down a 10-ball over

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Great start by Ireland, Sri Lanka 10/3

Wrong thread. This is for warmups.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nortje is bowling with heat here. Too hot to handle for Rizwan

 

[anil1405]

Afghanistan batsmen with their typical boom or bust strategy. It's clicking for them today so far.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh my...Bavuma just took the catch of the T20 WC so far.

Superb agility to run and get under the ball that's moving away from him.

Notes on the games I have seen

1. Dear Kane Williamson & selectors

Persistence has its own rewards but persisting with Southee & Jamieson as death bowlers will result in your team's premature death in the tournament.

2. Getting a bit ahead of myself - India taking the right steps to win their 2nd t20 world cup

3. WI - Why do you bother to play?

4. SAF - Where is Tabraiz Shamsi?

3. WI - Why do you bother to play?

We just love to party bro...and defend our title.

Looks like too much of partying & less of defending to me. But best of luck all the same.

Height of persistence is continuing to trust Santner.

4. SAF - Where is Tabraiz Shamsi?

He went off in the middle of his first over (and Maharaj picked up a wicket with the next ball!). I didn't catch what happened, so I've no idea how serious it is.

The ball struck his finger...looked to be in pain. Might be a fracture or they just playing safe and take him out of the game.

Guptil (and the last 2) aside the NZ batting looked bad.

Woakes one terrible over may have cost him his place in the side. The fact Willey was rested suggests he's going to play on Saturday?

Thought Mills bowled pretty well.

Jordan given just the 2 overs at the death suggests he might be not selected.

 

[anil1405]

WTF are WI doing?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

WTF are WI doing?

Playing possum

 

[anil1405]

39/3 in 9 chasing 190.

Tired of playing zillion T20Is in build up to the WC?

Remember that movie with Sacha Baron Cohen...when he's running the race...
