T20 World Cup 2021

[Chris B.]

Australia to win, with Davy Warner at the forefront - all just to annoy me!

So - any changes to our team for tonight?

If it's going to be similar to the Afghan game, I'd be tempted to bring in Jamieson for one of the spinners. Probably Ish - who I'm reading has a poor record vs England and a KJ/Ish swap would strengthen the batting a trifle.

They could also bring in Seifert, but that would expose the remaining bowlers too much I think for marginal gains with the bat.

So, a 3am start v England looms...

Not sure what to make of this one. The relative lottery of T20I's, 'yet another bloody ICC knockout game'... and it would be very nice to knock England out after the 2019 drama.

Midnight our time.

Sorry, will have to miss it.

Booboo in bed. Best effort I can muster.

Thank me later

But mostly @Virgil

[Frye]

Huge wicket

[Donsteppa]

Excellent, needed rid of Malan.

[LABCAT]

Looks like we let England get away a bit too much during the middle period. Need some tight overs now to try and keep the score down.

Shithouse death bowling by Ish and Milne

Yep, we don't really have any good death bowlers.

No idea why Cane experimented with Phillips for. He's a part timer and was always a big risk against the powerful English batsmen, he ended up giving England the momentum back.

To be fair, the bowlers have been the best death bowling unit in the tournament and have done a good job of getting us this far. It will have to be up to our shallow batting line up to get the job done today, it seems

[Donsteppa]

Too many hittable ones at the wrong times.

Boult goes for 40 off his four overs.

[LABCAT]

Need Neesham to fluke one of his good overs like he did against Afghanistan.

[LABCAT]

Jimmy!!!!!

[Donsteppa]

Definitely some curious bowling choices today. That might have been Phillip's first over in the tournament?

I thought Neesh might have bowled two overs at the death. But he's back on at the last over, starting with 0/7... and now a wicket and a boundary...

Yeah, I think that was Phillips first over too.

[Donsteppa]

Poor fielding off the last two balls costs an extra three runs and denies a wicket

[Donsteppa]

167 needed to win.

[LABCAT]

I feel it's England's game to lose at the moment.

Hopefully Guptill has a big innings today.

[Donsteppa]

And Guppy throws it away. Been a batsman short all tournament, and today is the day we are going to miss them...
