51 off 3 overs too. So close

This sort of crazy stuff always seems to happen to them at WCs. Long may it continue.

Is anyone going tonight? they reckon they will only get 25k, they can't give tickets away. Cricket has lost its sparkle, so many people i know just aren't interested in it anymore.

They are still charging $110 and $90 respectively for Cat A and B Adult tickets.

Behind the bowler's arm is the only place that's selling out. I'll be there, with a couple of mates and our families.

Fully expecting SA to get another rained out game vs a minnow team, beat India and Pakistan, and then finish 3rd on NRR lel

I hope they ditch David for Green. You can’t have a liability like that in the field, plus Green can slog just as well as he does and bowl an over or two.

qualifier (albeit Sri Lanka in the end). Never going to be a massive crowd.

If it was played in Sydney or Melbourne then there probably would be a decent crowd given the big Sri Lankan community in those cities/states.

Or get rid of the flog that is Aaron Finch

Realistically it should've been called off well before it did - when the bowler slipped and hurt himself that was it

Should have been dropped a while ago, but there’s no hope of that now until the World Cup is finished. I’m fairly apathetic towards the Aussie team at the moment.

Honestly I felt less apathy after sandpapergate somehow

Very harsh on David I reckon.
He's normally pretty good in the field and has an excellent strike rate.

Green for Stoinis or Cummins would be more like it IMO, but can't seem them dropping anyone.

Covid positive Zampa playing with "mild symptoms" makes a mockery of our entire State being locked down into March. Laughable really.

He’s rubbish in the field. A good throw but not a reliable catch or boundary saver. In the big bash he would drop just about everything that came to him. Against India he parried a simple catch over the rope for six and in the last game Cummins gave him the full AB teapot for letting a single turn into an easy two. Green is just a superior player in every aspect, he actually saves runs in the field, it’s not rocket science.

Whichever way you want to spin it, David doesn't deserve to get dropped.

There's 2 or 3 who deserve to get dropped before him. but let's drop the new guy.

Zampa out with COVID. If we're lucky it'll tear through the team.

Good to see Agar back.

In Australia's defence, how were they to know Cummins' would bowl as poorly here as he normally bowls in T20Is and in the IPL.

Shocked to be sitting here

 

[Mop]

The Aussies shit the bed there. Why? There was very little pressure in that!!

 

[DanWCE]

Don't worry, Finch is here to save us

 

[Ochre]

Blue and gold team copping an injury at Optus stadium?

Shocked to be sitting here

Sack the S&C team

Finch is so bad. Just consistently beaten by good pace and trying to play everything off the back foot (or jumping and playing the shot with both feet off the ground) because he can't react quickly enough against pace bowling.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Nice work Finch. You could have retired after you were carried to the Cup last year but you stuck around for a selfish shot at the dream finish of hometown glory and you've brought everyone down with you. You've tarnished your career.
