T20I 2021 T20 World Cup - Australia v Bangladesh 4 Nov 2021 9pm AEDT

[Crashy]

Surely we beat the West Indies.

You would think so but always a chance one of their players goes nuts and scores a quick 80odd and gets them to a massive total

 

[Sprout]

For a second I thought Zampa was going to say “if it wasn’t for Wadey’s hands I’d have a lot more wickets”.

Would’ve entered god status.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Surely we beat the West Indies.

Would not be shocked if the Windies lose tonight to be honest they have been awful

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

That’s why you don’t drop Marsh in a t20

[Mkcaptain]

Brilliant performance. And exactly what we needed. Marsh's cameo at the end was great to sprint us to the finish line.

But its a bit annoying that South Africa will know exactly what they need to do on Saturday night to get past us.

 

[eltrain]

We were almost perfect tonight but f*ck me that was absolute garbage from Bangladesh from start to finish. The Bangladeshi equivalent of the Bigfooty cricket forum must be going ballistic.

Would be worried for the banglas going home

 

[Nuggetz]

Bangladesh won the u19 wc so they have good youngsters

 

[corbies]

They have 1 decent bat/bowler and he’s injured. It’s paper thin aside from Shakib

I mean that's completely under rating Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal, Mahedi Hasan and Mustafizur but okay.

They have for decades. Hasn't translated to the senior team.

 

[corbies]

South Africa taking 13.3 overs to chase 84 looking absolutely criminal now.

 

[goodcop badcop]

They have for decades. Hasn't translated to the senior team.

There's always been some issues with birth certificates. Some are older then 19, but can't be proven.

 

[corbies]

Have they? They'd barely done anything at a u19 World Cup until that win.

 

[Westend]

and thats why mitch should be batting number three....POWER

 

[Westend]

warner cannot hit off the square .....get inglis to open or put stoinis there with inglis down the order

warner is not scoring fast enough....make the call JL

Cummins for Agar and that’s it. Need another spinner

 

[Westend]

Yeah maybe........but something needs to happen with warner...they will keep him but he is not striking the ball well atm

perhaps even move wade to open and have warner in the middle overs against the spin

I'm afraid that warner"s strike rate is going to cost us if we go deep in the tournament....Finchie played well today but he sometimes struggles to get going and if that happens with warner in such poor form up the other end...it will hurt us

 

[freo_leo29]

Had an exam in between this game, finished it and it was all over!

Catching up again now, OFC Wade drops Zampa's hattrick

Inglis would have taken that

 

[freo_leo29]

Onya Marshy, absolutely baffled he was dropped for the England game

Still pissed that Wade dropped Zamps hatrick

Unfortunately our useless coach won’t make the hard call and that’s to drop Cummins.

Agar in next game and that’s our best lineup but we know Langer won’t

 

[Manbearpig77]

Pretty emphatic performance. Can't ask for too much more than that.

Still a couple of selection issues to figure out (Agar for Cummins? Inglis for Warner?), but this was as good a response as we could have hoped for.

Well played Aus.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So pretty much if we beat WI it seems we'll make the SF ?

If England beat South Africa we could have a close loss verses the West Indies & probably still get in the semis.
Aus & SA would finish with 6 points each & we currently have a better Net Run Rate.

 

[Moonwatcher]

WI scored 169. Might not get close to them.

Hettmeyer has had his 1 good innings in 10
