Australia (201/7) defeat England (165/6) comfortably by 36 runs to go top of Group B in ICC World Cup 2024

[mominsaigol]

Nope

They'll need high rr wins to stay in

 

[jnaveen1980]

Very difficult chase. Australia is atleast 20 to 25 runs above par. And zampa is gonna cause problems. England fumbled by bowling jacks in the 2nd over tbh

30 runs above par. You cannot target any bowlers. Let me tell you how they will go. Into the pitch cutters from Cummins predominantly.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Congratulations to Wade for saving his average there

 

[Devadwal]

They'll need high rr wins to stay in

No they are making the next stage irrespective of NRR
Scotland is not going to win against Australia .

 

[mominsaigol]

Congratulations to Wade for saving his average there

Wade is the weakest link, Australia should have just tried jake fraser at no 3 considering they'd have warmups and they'd start their campaign off against Oman.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They'll need high rr wins to stay in

But unless Scotland beats Australia, they can easily maintain better NRR than Scotland.

 

[mominsaigol]

No they are making the next stage irrespective of NRR
Scotland is not going to win against Australia .

Scotland has Oman which they'll win and get 5 points.

England if they lose this must butcher Oman and nambia to get into s8 which tbf their more then capable of doing but it'll be stressful.

Better to try to win this one and be safe

 

[mominsaigol]

But unless Scotland beats Australia, they can easily maintain better NRR than Scotland.

They'll need to butcher nambia and Oman for that which granted they can easily do but theirs a problem.

A) If rain comes then GG.

B) It'll still be stressful when you have that rr looming over your head

It won't be that stressful. Scotland can also get murdered by Australia and get their NRR nuked.

Scotland were unlucky to have their match vs England washed out. Munsey and Jones looked in control until that point.

 

[Thephenom]

Sometimes all you need is your top 6 batsmen to get over 30 runs each to get a big total

Fair fair broskie. I just was overly optimistic because as an aussie fan England is still a threat in Semi's for me. If they get S8 stage, then they'll make it through to semi's

The highest successful T20I chase at Barbados is 172 which was in December in the recent WI-ENG series.

Won't be easy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The highest successful T20I chase at Barbados is 172 which was in December in the recent WI-ENG series.

Won't be easy.

But the highest 2nd innings score is 204 by England in 2022 against Windies.

Which is why I think Australia may genuinely be 10 short.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Atleast the outfield is not sluggish.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Haydos

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia is already clearly aware how to bowl here. England brainlessly bowled and conceded 30 to 40 runs extra.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is generally a bat first surface. Not sure Buttler got it right at the toss.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So far good counter strategy from England

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is generally a bat first surface. Not sure Buttler got it right at the toss.

Fielding first is okay. But conceding 200 is not. Too many on this pitch.

 

[mominsaigol]

I'm kinda worried. Chalo gotta have faith

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Fielding first is okay. But conceding 200 is not. Too many on this pitch.

A score above 157 has been "successfully " chased only once. Has been defended 6 times.

Pitch becomes slower as the game goes on as the shine wears off

 

[Kianig89]

Excellent game.of cricket so far , both Eng and Aus look the real deal

Australian bowling line up is world class Starc Hazlewood Cummins they are all format legends and Adam Zampa is an exceptional white ball bowler.

 

[mominsaigol]

Crap baskets

 

[Human786]

England need a good start to successfully reach to this target of 202 runs.

that is rather obvious

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Yes. Which is why its better to bat first here. Won't matter of Australia keep bowling seam up in the slot.

Not bowling cutters early

Their the 2 best teams of this tournament. Imagine sending azam khan in a global tournament when his competiton Globally is the likes of butler?

 

[Human786]

close game ?

Due to nature of the format and surfaces teams can pull off upsets. But oveall if you check man to man some teams are way behind these teams

 

[jnaveen1980]

close game ?

Have to see how the pitch responds once Zampa is on. Maxwell is on.

Won't be surprised of both Aus Eng reach the last 4, as far as Azam Khan is concerned a national shame it is he is not physically fit for any sport Cricket Hockey Football Rugby Rowing Archery or even Snooker as his big belly will create hurdle

why is Azam the hulk in this game thread ?

 

[Kianig89]

Starc Cummins Hazlewood Combined has 1300+ Test wickets not to mention their color kits record , stuff of legends kudos to Aussie selectors for selecting them polishing them and then persisting with them , how many times ACB executive has offered X$$$$ if Australia wins the WC

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dancing shoes by Buttler 4 runs

[Kianig89]

This game in Caribbean finally a proper cricket venue unlike the Yanks

Warner Head Marsh Maxwell
Cummins Starc Hazlewood Zampa

That's 8 players who will be no.1 in any league be it BBL IPL BPL LPL Sat20 CPL or PSL

 

[Human786]

Starc ko berahmi se maar rahey hain

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Starc still bowling in the slot, lol.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc is bowling garbage moment there is no swing.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

AUS losing this ? 60/0

As long as Starc keeps bowling rubbish, yes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Starc still bowling in the slot, lol.

When there is no movement he is a pie chucker. In IPL semi and final he got swing he was effective.

Zampa. i think Australia will dictate terms from here on.

 

[chinaman00]

This is why you need a full time spinner in T20, not these fake Pakistani spinners like Shadab and co.

 

[Devadwal]

Why marsh wasted Starc 3rd over instead earlier bring Zampa

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jacks wrong choice now. SHould have sent Moeen Ali now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

KL Rahul is the one guy who played Zampa well on a turning track by back cutting him.

We didn't even give Abrar a go in the run up to the World Cup...it boggles the mind!

They need to target 25 runs from zampa overs iwthou wicket and go after others.

 

[Kianig89]

Ind Aus Eng SA the likely SF

 

[mominsaigol]

Come on zampa shabash boi

 

[jnaveen1980]

ON this pitch Wood bowled the worst possible way. Bowling on the pads, full at pace. lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

KL Rahul is the one guy who played Zampa well on a turning track by back cutting him.

That's rare even for Indian batters. To late cut him from almost the stumps. You need unusual skill to play that.

Bro I just don't get it. Everyone keeps looking at players like Bobby, Rizwan, Shadab, Azam and keep comparing them to pakistani players.

Like bro in international tournaments you're up against the world, shadab's competiton is rashid Khan, Klaseen, Maxwell lol. Same with Bobby, his competiton is Warner, butler etc.

Besides fakhar and hafeez no one else has ever played an international standard innings since 2012 for Pakistan. And even so, Both have only played in odi not t20. Their ordinary.

Whoever said t20 is Pakistan's best format is delusional, this 2024 team is the weakest t20 team Pakistan has ever sent into a world cup lol, even weaker then 2022.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Patty cummins is a much improved LOI bowler. He has added a few variations to be more reliable in this format. There was a time when batsmen would target him for big overs

 

[Human786]

92/2

 

[jnaveen1980]

Zampa strikes again. Why are they going after Zampa . He is a wicket taker.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Zampa gets Buttler yet again. When has he not completely controlled Buttler ?

Because nepotistic Babar has to play his buddy Shadab. He wants to eat his cake and have it too.


No pun intended.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They could have played smarter.

They can't, I don't think . Pitch is a touch slower than first innings.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They can't, I don't think . Pitch is a touch slower than first innings.

I mean they could have seen off Zampa.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Wade is the weakest link, Australia should have just tried jake fraser at no 3 considering they'd have warmups and they'd start their campaign off against Oman.

Can he keep?

 

[jnaveen1980]

12 an over next 5 overs

 

[jnaveen1980]

You cannot allow stoinis get away with cheap overs.

[Nikhil_cric]

They'll fall behind the rate. Need a combination of poor bowling and ridiculously good hitting to win this now.
