Turned the game on around the 34 over and over was thinking 350 minimum, been fairly rubbish batting since

Staggered that Trav couldnāt get a gig in this side

Would of been nice to go to bed in the interval knowing we had the game shot to pieces.
Thinking we probably might have enough.
On a side note I dig the Grey Nicolls guitar.
Would luv to see Eddie VH give it a rip.

Who would he replace? In general i think 15 is a very small squad for such a tournament. We picked 2 spare quicks, 1 spare spinner and a spare batsman.
I guess the problem is that Smith, Uzzie and Marsh are not power hitters.
Its not easy to pick this kind of squad.
Marsh for starters

Falling apart
Pathetic
Iāve said it before, but we will never win the WC with a batting game plan from 1998.
5/30 is a fair effort. Heās single handedly given his team a chance.

5/21 off the last 5 overs
Yuk
Thatās probably a touch below par. How we could manage that from where we were about halfway through the innings is extraordinary. I still think weāll win though, Cummins and Starc will be hard to handle on this pitch.
The batting line up just didnāt make sense
I have marsh higher, Khawaja at 3. Maxwell to come in later with Carey to bring it home
At one stage was thinking 370/380.
Par was 350 from the platform that was set.
Agree with Ace that was a pathetic effort to finish up with that score.
Actually worried now and have to go to bed restless.
Good luck to those of you staying up.
Iāve got to get up in a few hours so canāt watch but Iām very confident we will win comfortably

You will win , and easily at that. I will be amazed if Pakistan make even 200
Your bowlers will eat them alive
Sleep well, Aceman. I love your confidence.
On the flip side like India did, if they get through Starc and Cummins first spell theyāll romp it in
This is my thoughts exactly. The pitch had a few gremlins in it and Starc and Cummins will exploit them. I think the Pakis are as just as good of a chance to be rolled for 120 as they are of making 300
Theyāre 1/2 in the third over.
And half of those runs were from a dopey umpire mistake.
