2019 Cricket ODI WC

Like us Aussie are pretty reliant on taking wickets at the top with their two strike bowlers. The rest looked pretty ineffective, though it was a flat deck against the best batting lineup in the world.
India are going to be tough to beat. We really need a green wicket against them or we're no chance.

@Paekakboyz having been around these chumps nearly 20 years, I'm sure you're wrong

Australia 316 all out, including an amazing 50 off 25 balls from Alex Carey. Tame stuff apart from that.
India win by 36 runs. A brutal reality check.
The fact we got within 40 runs is encouraging. I'm thinking Lyons was a better spin option than Zampa TBH.
But it's India's cup to lose from here

I think both England and India will be very tough to beat. India's bowlers shade England's IMO, but the poms batting line-up might be longer and stronger. There can be only one.
However, on their day, Oz, NZ, Windies and maybe even Pakistan could roll either.

@NTA being wrong is a core part of the fern experience!!
Don't tell me, you hit the bails, they lit up, but no wicket?? :face_with_tears_of_joy:

I'm happy to say that I scored freely but had a very energetic and willing partner

Smiling aussie cricketers while losing was a new experience, even under the pump staring at 350 plus and laughs all round. Not bad per se, but odd.
Flat wicket that dulled the ball. Fielders throwing it into the ground after 6 overs. But a pitch suited to India, who, it must be said have seamers and spinners in equal measure. The asy wristy singles to leg off pace showed the banality of the surface.
Australia weren't bad, it's just that India are good, really good. Pandya innings highlighted that, promoted up the order and delivers just what they asked for.
No more Zampa I think, but otherwise Aus will have to win games with the bat because the swing bowler's are getting none, well at the Oval anyway.
Funny that we beat India easy at the oval, all due to about 5 to 10 mms of grass.
Oh well, you only need to beat India once, and the round Robin is not the time. Australian matches are must watch now to see how they rise from this. Will be big games vs us and England

@NTA glad to hear at least one aussie was winning last night!!

@Canes4life looks like bullshit to me. A spinner keeping his hands warm is hardly suspicious.

@NTA pretty sure plenty advocated to stop booing Kqwayde...cant see it helping, I expect it will be epic when Ang play Aus.

What a poor article.
Yep, but it's the new normal for Australia. Honestly, even if he has hand warmers in his pockets for a summer sport, it just looks terrible.
This is going to follow the team around for ages, and they'll just have to cop it.

WI players were doing exactly the same thing last night with the hand warmers. It's a shit article based on stupid tweets for clickbait... but you're right it will follow them around now. Hard to have a heap of sympathy, using sandpaper on the ball in today's age of high definition footage was beyond stupid.

SA with 3 losses and then a wash-out for a must win game. Could not be a worse start for them. Not that they looked like winning though.
The WI quicks aren't the most accurate but shit they can get the ball to jump around. A few deliveries last night were absolutely unplayable.

Shame a tournament that goes for this long can't fit in reserve days here and there.

@MN5 it’s Britain ... need reserve weeks!
Today has easily been the wettest day since I’ve lived here. Rained literally the whole day, quite heavy too. Lots of localized flooding!
Should be some interesting pitches / ovals around. All likely to be heavily waterlogged today.

Makes me even more happy that we got the results against the lesser teams without washouts. I'd say there's a few big teams pretty nervous about taking just a draw with the likes of Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.

It's frankly bizarre that for a tournament that is 100% about TV, the ICC wouldn't force a reserve day to maximize the product especially when each team averages 4.5 days between games and the most simple travel logistics of any host county.
These two no results will inevitably have a role in determining who makes the semi-final and that will be either a blight on the tournament or just the nature of the beast depending on if it is in New Zealand's favour or not.

Well SA coulda quite legitimately been four from four and not in the good way.
