2023 World Cup

[AlwaysGreen]

A long way away, in all possibilty the world may be taken over by an army of bald lesbians serving Empress Haynetrain by then.

But still we need to plan. Team from last game, note Hazlewood wasn't in the WC squad and Khawaja was injured.

AJ Finch (c) - surely 2023 is too far away for the fat man
DA Warner - probably going to be a white ball specialist by then but old
SPD Smith - not his best format but should be there
PSP Hanscombe - no chance
AT Carey (wc) - had an excellent WC and the position is his if he wants it
GM Maxwell - surely he's had his turn
MP Stoinis - as with Maxwell
PJ Cummins - if fit should be there
MA Starc - as with Cummins
JP Behrendorff - good but not an automatic selection
NM Lyon - surely too old

So a lot of decisions to be made.

It would be nice if our white ball specialists could start specialising and make themselves useful. Chris Lynn, Darcy Short for example.
Probably going to be T-20 or 100 ball comp or powerball comp or some other gimmicky comp that's gonna need players though.

Tbh, I dont think we will give a shit about the 2023 WC till 6 months before the tournament, maybe longer if there is nothing else doing

I think next 12 months we are going to go all out for the T20 WC, then look to make the test championship final v India 12 months after that

coach - see my avatar?

May as well make a list of younger guys who won't be dead by then. If it was up to me quite I'd throw quite a few of these guys in to play our next ODI series when ever the hell that is, but we will still see the usual suspects play or some merkin that flukes a bbl ton.

Smith
Lasagne (Just have to put him there at the moment, his confidence is through the roof at the moment.)
Heazlett
McDermott
Weatherald
Turner
Carey
M.Darsh
Head
Phillipe
Agar
J.Richardson
Cummins
Starc
Hazelwood

Pretty confident we will have a strong side from that list in 3yrs or so. Still lacking in the spin department, time to give Mujeeb or something citizenship when he comes out for big bash.

Not so far away now.

Sri Lanka will have to go through the qualifiers to get there, South Africa should get the 8th automatic spot.

Men's ODI World Cup 2023 - all teams set to have different captains from 2019

This will be the first time in the history of the ODI World Cup where not a single team will have the same captain as at the previous edition

Hollywood bets is a interesting sponsor

India doing what they want, holding the game to ransom. WC only four months away and fixture not released.

ICC: 2023 World Cup fixtures to be released 'as soon as we possibly can'

ICC are useless as Eels management.

Qualifiers ongoing with a major turn of events as we move closer to the super 6 stage.

A bit of a rundown of the system:

2 groups of 5, all teams in the groups play each other once. Top 3 from each group move to the super 6, results and NRR carry over from the group stage. In the super 6 stage the teams cross over playing teams they have yet to play. The top of each super 6 group will qualify for the world cup.

The big dogs in the qualifiers are West Indies and Sri Lanka. West Indies are currently 3rd in their group after losing to Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka look likely to finish top of their group.

Ireland look in real danger of not getting to the next stage.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Almost certain that this will be the super 6 teams:
Group A
Zimbabwe
Netherlands
West Indies
The order may change

Group B
Sri Lanka
Scotland
Oman


Ireland definitely gonski.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Huge upset in an incredible game now means West Indies unlikely to qualify.

WI 6/374 tied with the Netherlands 9/374. NED then won the super over after 30 was clobbered off it.

Zim won their last game by 304 runs.
Going through to the super 6 and the carry over points. WI must win all 3 super 6 games and hope the other 2 lose.

Zim 4
NED 2
WI 0

WI 6/374 tied with the Netherlands 9/374.

one of my pet hates,

the team who lost the least amount of wickets really should have been awarded the win
