ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

[Mr Angry]

Saffas too good.

Never gave up, but not enough bowlers.

Double header Saturday:
Australia v Bangladesh
Pakistan v England

Smith should come back in but will it be for Labshandbrake or Stoinplod?

For Maxwell I say. Inglis and Labs move down.

Abbott for Haze. Maybe even Green in for Cummins or Starc. We should rest some bowlers as they have played the whole tournament. I don't think they need a tune up and it's a dead rubber.

 

[Mr Angry]

I wanna see Smiffy bowl.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Abbott has to play today.

What if one of the quicks go down at training or in the semi final and can't play the knock-out games.

You need to give him a run now then have to throw him in from the cold.

That would be the logical decision and it’s why it won’t happen.

Yes yes.

What if Maxwell goes down? We probably just rely on Marsh or Stoinis if he is in the squad. But can't hurt to let Smith or Labs roll over a few against the Bangers.

I'd be resting Maxwell too. Freshen him up for the semi. Having the game off before Afghanistan seemed to work.
Oh, we are resting Maxi and Starc. Smith back in, Abott also in.

Good new, we lost the toss. That means we're due to win the toss in the Semi right?

We won the toss and bowled.

Another genius decision bowling first by the looks of it.

How many times has it been said it this chat? If you win the toss, f**king bat first!

Had to rest Maxwell. No way he is 100% or anything close to it after the Afghanistan game. Without him we are absolutely no chance of winning the tournament, with him we have a shot, if for no other reason than he should be keeping Stoinplod out of the 11.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I remember a few runouts in think in the Pakistan test series from Marnus where he had a few direct hits.

He is seriously a very under-rated fieldsman.

I put him in the elite category it never gets talked about his fielding like the Maxwell's, Smith and Warner's.

He is just as good and safer then smudge with his hands I reckon.

Is Maxwell really key? Little evidence that he can effectively deploy his toys against the best teams

although agree on Stoinis

Maxwell scored more runs the other night then he has in 13 digs against south Africa.

And 12 against the Kiwis

 

[hineyrulz]

lol great decision to bowl first, Cummins is a penis.

Well at least we get some chasing practice.

10 overs in the sun shouldn't break a bowlers back.

His cameo against NZ (along with Cummins) was low key massive. Against a team like India it’s more likely going to come down to an individual performance than a great team effort if we are to win. Also he gives us another spin option to go with Zampa if pace is getting smashed.
