Finally get a chance to be up and watch this. Any chance we drop Wade, highest score of 17, two other scores totalling nine, SR of 118 and missed a catch and a runout against Afghanistan that could have been pivotal. It's late in the tournament but I've always felt Inglis was better suited. Other than that, Starc in for Agar, you'd assume (despite being quite tidy).

India will obviously come in as massive favourites here as there's nothing much funnier than sportswatching fans and short term memory, but think it should be a good competitive match tonight. The classic "loss we need" kind of vibes. Australia will be happy to take the win in any case, but NRR is gonna likely matter massively for the AFG situation - we've got a decent head start but they should make mince meat of Bangladesh

Might be washed out looking at the forecast.

Looked at the rain radar and there's definitely some stuff coming in but it's too early to say whether it'll hit on time. That said, I have no idea how rain radars work when you're a bunch of island nations and the weather appears to be coming entirely from the open ocean side.

hope so we go through if it is I believe

Only if the other game is rained out too. We miss out if our game is rained out but Afghanistan win.

Nope, if AFG beat bangladesh we have to win against India. We will proceed if both are washed out though.

Any idea where I can stream this from Europe (Spain)? If it goes ahead of course...

Icc official website is playing it for free for all non-cricketing nations. Stream is very good but only plays during the match, no pre or post game

Most of the rain from the big storm might miss it at least for the beginning of the match. The big red is headed towards Grenada, but only current risk is that it seems to be growing in side which may end up properly hitting St Lucia.

Hasn't really had an opportunity. He's performed in backs to the wall situations before and done so for a long time.

Mitch Marsh I must admit speaks very well for a captain.

Mitch Marsh would have made a good English teacher.

Australia have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Have heard they are playing on the same wicket as the South Africa 163 v 156 England game. A game where I thought South Africa short changed themselves but ended up winning.

 

[NYRB]

Australia have a psychological edge over India in big matches /big moments. Can they overcome that fear today?

Group stage India is a different beast unfortunately. I cant remember the last time we beat them in a group game.

Hopefully we win in a manner that Afghanistan cant realistically overtake our NRR. We have a ~36 run head start.

 

[icyflakes]

Good decision to bowl first. With rain delays inbound batters will not be sure how much to make, and obviously have limited comms opps. And Australia get the additional mindgame factor given the WC final, albeit gonna be very minor

 

[NYRB]

India probably going to bowl 12 overs of spin in: Kuldeep, Jadejda and Axar.

Australia couldnt play Afghanistan spinners well enough last game. Nothing to suggest that this lot can turn things around.

Look what us Australians have been reduced to

We couldn’t play anything. Bumrah worries me more!

Merv Hughes leading his tour group over there I see.....
