I half woke up at 1:30am so turned the tele on we were 6/77. Went back to bed.

Talk about taking the piss.

Those legendary world cup teams that we have had in the past have been let down by this current mob.

I guess I was right this will be a trainwreck of a world cup.

All out 177

Lost by 134 runs

Why the hell did we chose to field in the heat ??
Looking at the deck you could just see it was going to change later on, i'll keep saying it i question the smarts of everyone involved in the entire Australian cricket set up. A massive clean out is needed and a change at how we do things because we used to lead the way but haven't in a long long time.

If CA isn't careful it could end up down the path of Rugby in 10-15 years.

I don't think it will happen we have to many greats and history to let it slide to that level.

But the arrogant muppets running CA don't do themselves any favours.

I am sure at the yearly review they will pat themselves on the back we won the WTC, retained the ashes.

But really retaining the ashes is a mediocre pass mark.

And the ODI WC flop basically makes the WTC final success redundant.

Plus we lost in India again and butchered a test match there.

Jeez it's lucky the skipper won the toss and batted second when the going was better. Imagine how much we would have lost by if he didn't!

We have the wrong coach and the wrong captain in this format. We keep picking has beens like Maxwell and never was's like Stoinis.

But the biggest issue is that Cricket Australia doesn't value 50 over cricket. They've put all their effort into the Big Bash which has produced basically no players of note in the last 10 years. The fact is the rest of the world still thinks that this World Cup and 50 over cricket matters.

Head needs to be made captain. A white ball specialist coach needs to be put in. And the dead weight needs to be moved on.

I suppose its games like last night where i actually would loved to have seen Warnie still here and just let rip at the shambles we have become in the commentary box.

Sure he would have defended his favourites like Maxwell and Stoinis.

But he wouldn't missed CA. Who need a rocket up them.

I find it very hard to care as I find it very hard to like many of our current cricketers.

Maybe they need a gentler coach?

We can’t drop Maxwell, he’s our best bowler. Actually Starc went pretty well too.

2 games and we’ve yet to pass 200. Been a while since that’s happened I’d guess.

How we let Matthew Mott go to the UK i would never know.

He helped implement and manage a juggernaut Women's side.

He should have been offered the white ball gig in Men's as a transition role if the women's side needed a fresh change.

I would be on the blower after the World cup to get him home.

Its embarrassing one of our best coaches is actually coaching England not here while we fiddle around looking lost & no idea.
