2022 T20 WORLD CUP IN AUSTRALIA

[undertaker]

*Finch: Im confident he'll never play another game for Australia.
*Warner: I think his form over the next 12 months will determine his future in all three formats of the game. He is struggling.
*Wade: He won't make the next World Cup in two years.
*Smith: If selectors are smart, they should leave Smith for test match and one day cricket. I doubt he makes the world cup in two years.

We do need a new breed of fast bowlers for T20 cricket. The Haze went ok, not so much the others.

Excellent assessment of the four aforementioned players.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: for all the criticism that Finch has copped since over the past couple of months (and rightly so), Warner has managed to slip under the radar with his ordinary, inconsistent performances in white-ball cricket.

Regarding his form against the red ball, Stuart Broad will have another opportunity to make Warner his biatch and end his test career for good if Warner get selected for the 2023 Ashes Tour. Averages only 26 from 13 Ashes tests with the bat in England. Simply cannot handle the swinging Dukes ball. However, before the Ashes Tour, 4 test series in India will put Warner under pressure, considering he only averages 24 with the bat in India.

After tonight, Warner averaging only 9.8 during the Super 12 phase of this T20 World Cup is simply unacceptable. A far cry and shadow of the batsman he was a few years ago. Not getting off to a strong start with a solid opening partnership has put pressure on our middle-order batsmen

Could be the last game for a few of these guys.
Finch
Warner
Wade
Smith?

Hopefully that squid Kane f**king Richardson

Yep. Was hopeful Warner would come good, but hasn't happened.
Finch needed to be gone last World cup at the latest. Hung around far too long.
Wade should have called it a day last World cup as well. Would have gone out a hero.
Smith - has had some good limited overs innings, but its been a while. This game was a chance to bat through, rotate the strike, feeding the boundary hitters the strike and manage the game. Didn't happen.

We were done when NZ put 200 on us and we didn't even have the presence of mind to limit the damage done. Scoring even 160 might have helped.

We've missed every turning point this tournament. Stoinis helped against Sri Lanka whilst Finch was happy to try and win the game on the final ball if lucky.

I think it's laughable in a must win game they dropped our only real strike bowler Starc for an absolute pie throwing hack like Kaaaaaaaane. Starc has his faults but if he gets it right he is capable of running through a side. Which is what you need to bump up your NRR. Kaaaaaaaane looks barely capable of running through a soy mocha latte. Shows how clueless the people are in charge of selecting the side. We have stunk and don't deserve to get to the semis.

1 game today the final group 1 game.

Sri Lanka v England

Simple equation for England. Win and they go through to the semis. Lose and Australia take their place.

Starc's pace would have been too much for Afghans. Who aren't used to 150km/h pace.

Absolute rubbish decision that reeked of panic.

Australia don't deserve to make the semis.

We lack a white ball brand and identity atm.

It's all mish mash.

England just go hard from ball 1.
India love chasing with the Master Kohli.
New Zealand are disciplined and scrap for everything.

Let’s face it we fluked it in Dubai, all it did was prolong the careers of deadwood that needed to be f**ked off.

Of course we did.

Like this year we won f**k all matches leading into the World Cup last year.

Bangladesh beat us 4-1 and windies 3-0 from memory leading into the Dubai world cup.

Finch lucked in with the toss and the plucky kiwis did the dirty work for us by knocking off England and India for us before the final.

Very rare to win a WC without beating either of them in the tournament.

 

[TheParraboy]

Out of the 3 pace bowlers Cummins is the one that needed to be dropped

Idiotic Starc being dropped. Just defies belief tbh.

Makes me wonder is Cummins going to inherit the captaincy gig for T20? Your not going to drop a bloke your going to announce as the next captain. Its the only reason I can think of... and that they are idiots

Other than Kiwis , I dont think any other side has been in consistent good form overall. We have been a few shades below the top sides (in a bad way)

Nathan Ellis was in great form leading up to the Cup, and wasnt picked in the squad

Whilst I wouldn't say Kane Richardson killed us exactly, he was certainly there at the death helping to hammer the nails in the coffin.
Exceptional hammering at the death is what he delivered. So they were kind of right.

 

[hineyrulz]

If you are worried about bowling at the death against Afghanistan not sure why we even bothered lol.

People are charge are geniused.

Wouldn’t be so sure about that, most of them would serve their cricket apprenticeships in NW Pakistan so they’d get their fair share of exposure to nasty-ass quicks.

 

[JJ]

Starc isn’t the white ball beast he was, but still I can’t think of many white ball quicks id rather have, Richardson certainly isn’t one of them

Almost sounds like the need a coach

 

[TheParraboy]

SL 220+

Heard it here first

 

[TheParraboy]

Boooooo livingstone

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Pathun with a very good 67 out unfortunately could be the difference between 150 and 180.

4/120 off 16.

 

[Eelectrica]

Ah Sri Lanka. Looked so good for the first 10 overs.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

142 for England to get themselves into the semis.

 

[Eelectrica]

If it wears blue and gold prepare for disappointment.
