Didn't see any of our innings but the next 7 games for the team could be painful ... especially if we lose another one shortly

As it stands, we might have to win all 7 of our group games just to make the SF's!  An extremely tall order to say the least

They have a stacked team. Just when you think you have confidence that they should do well they underperform badly. Been mediocre for a long time now unfortunately.

I wish they would advertise bit more for women's cricket, just flicked it on by chance, didn't even know we had WI over here... killing it... as usual. Unfortunately pretty poor crowd. 

 

Kuldeep is some sort of bowler for India.  More than a handful for Pakistan.  Rarely bowls a bad ball and has a very good googly

And now we're staring down the barrel at another loss

Batting first Sri Lanka 1-156 off 26 overs

There’s a pulse. Now 3/166 off 28. 
They wasted a review on the first ball of the match. The bowling has been wayward and they’ve looked flat. Starc inconsistent, Zampa hasn’t been getting his line right. Struggling the Aussies. 

 

If it wasn’t for Warner’s outfield catching the Aussies would be in a world of pain.

The reverse mozz in operation 

Lankans now 4-166


Cummins 2 wickets

Zampa 2 wickets

Better signs and the run rate has slowed a little now.

Wicket Maiden. Unbelievable. Didn’t see that one coming.

 

Starc comes on …. Wide. FMD. All over the place Starc. Needs to reset his radar.

A win is a win but still not impressed. Went to bed when Marsh got run out. Good to see Zampa with wickets which might bring some confidence. 


England losing to Afghanistan might mean that whoever loses our match against England could be out of the tournament ... as it stands both us and England could miss the SF's anyway

Also of note - no West Indies!  How the once mighty have fallen

No West Indies because they got knocked out by the mighty DUTCH who today beat South Africa by 38 runs, doing everyone else in the tournament a massive favour!!!!

The Dutch knocking off South Africa opens the door. 
New Zealand always seem to start off tournaments on a flyer. Only to wilt near the death (end). 
Australia meet Pakistan 🇵🇰 tomorrow night and that should be a massive match. Lose and Australia will be on the ropes. Win and they’re very much alive.

Must win #2 tonight 

Another big factor is we don't need a washed out match (only the 2 SF's & the Final have a reserve day)

Lunch against the Pakis and 367 is the score. Warner and Marsh were unbelievable but the rest of the batting sucked. Small ground so 367 is more gettable than a lot of places. Still it is a biggish type score so they will have to bat real well to get it. 


Maxwell 100 off 40 balls - incredible!  Sets a new record ... power and clean hitting & reverse pull shots the highlights

The Dutch were plucky and they fielded exceptionally well but they couldn't contain Warner & Maxie

Assuming the Aussies go on to win the match, we should be able to set up a buffer (run rate & W/L record) in order to qualify for a SF berth

England LOL 

🤭

What a pleasure it was to watch Head back in the side. Power hitting personified along with Warner. 

What a game against NZ! One of the best ODIs I've ever seen. How about the Himalayas in the background for viewing? Aussies on a roll.

Shame about Maxi though. He’s been ruled out vs England and possibly also vs Afghanistan with concussion protocols. He was injured when he fell from a moving golf cart. But he’ll be good to go for the remainder of the tournament.

Oh gosh, missed that news! Hope he's okay, been a real handy x factor for us! Hope we smash the poms!

I love Maxi… he’s my fave player, by far. They said he’ll be fine, no long term effects, so that’s great. We need him in top form as he has been. As for the Poms, reigning champions, yet they’re an absolute hot mess right now. A jolly good thumping is in order! A golden duck for Jonny Bairstow… run out, of course. 😁

There's something about that name Maxi, hey? We got 2 rippers!

Great it's not long term. Hope he comes back in firing!

Haha, Bairstow! Maybe even a Mankad run out is in order just to spice things up a bit 😁

I'll take it one step further... Mankad run out Bairstow for a diamond duck! 🤣😂

Omg that would be glorious!!!

 I wouldn’t care who went on to win the Cup, just seeing that would be enough for me. 😂

Speaking of who’ll win the championship, I reckon we’re the only ones who’ll come close to troubling India. Last night I watched India’s innings, absolutely scintillating. I fell asleep during the innings break but woke up not long after and thought I’d watch the second half of SL’s innings. But there was no second half. All out for 55 in the 20th over. Insane! Shami took 5 for 18 in 5 overs! And he’s not 100% fit!!!!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
