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!!!!

What’s up with your mighty Dutch tonight?! Lost a wicket in the first, piled on the runs without loss in the next 10, then four consecutive runouts! FOUR of the five top order batsmen run out. First time that’s ever happened, not just in World Cup history, but in ODI history.

    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!!!! 

    Haha, would go down in folklore forever! 😁

    I haven't watched this world cup as much as I wanted to but is SA any chance to challenging India?

    My gosh, India look dangerous, playing very well as you'd expect them at home. Going to take a special effort by the teams who plays them in the finals! Like, all out 55 is insane!

    Come on Aussies for tonight!!!

    3 down forr 112. Not looking good. Badly missing Maxwell and Marsh.

    They play each other tomorrow night. Will be an interesting match. I still can’t imagine anyone getting on top of India.

    Beating England is always joyous!

    We're now playing some very good cricket with games against Afghanistan & Bangladesh to come

    India play South Africa tonight which should be a beauty.  India look strong but anything can happen in white ball cricket ... it's a lot like a baseball game in that sense

    One bowler or one batsman gets hot and the game sways

    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. 😁

    Well, we were calling for it... Bairstow out for a golden duck!!! 🤣😂

    Good win. Getting root out helped win the cause.

    Went to bed when Stoinis was out in disgust. Just watched Max hit an amazing double in highlights and I am in a bit of shock.

    My sleep patterns are scrambled due to my current medical treatment, so this time it’s something that worked to my advantage as I was able to watch the game in its entirety. At 7 for 91 I figured that it was well and truly gone, but with Maxwell at the crease I just couldn’t stop watching as he’s always capable of doing the unexpected.

    it was far and away the best innings by any individual I have ever seen, including Dean Jones 210 in an early 90’s test in India. Amazing!!

    I guess it needs it's own thread.*

    All hail Glen Maxwell.

    Maybe now we are a chance to beat the hosts.

    Recorded and now watching from 7-112 (Maxwell could have been out 3 times in the last 10 minutes!)

    Did listen to the broadcast throughout the night and fell asleep (again) when we needed 60 off 60 (or thereabouts) 

    The innings is certainly one for the ages and high praise indeed from Sachin Tendulkar, describing the knock as the best he's seen at ODI level

     

    Edit:  Just finished watching 'The Innings' ... truly amazing and when considering that his whole body was cramping, quite incredible!! I've never seen anything like it although there are parallels with the late Dean Jones' double century in Madras in 1986

    Glenn Maxwell take a bow!

    Interesting that Maxi and Deano both made 201, and both were out on their feet during their innings in stifling conditions.

    I recorded it from 7/91 and went to bed, disgusted.  I watched it in the morning not knowing the result. Very exciting, but  I  expected Maxwell to go out next ball the whole innings, since he  was playing such risky shots.

    The end came so amazingly quickly!

    Gee, Marsh hits the ball hard. Flying to the boundary!

    Great nickname too ... Bison!  Suits him to a T!  He really smacks the ball

    He could make a big 100 tonight (mozz factor de-activated!)

    Nice hitout tonight prepping for the big SF against South Africa ... and the match will almost certainly be played next Thursday.  With India to play NZ in the other SF on the Wednesday

    Glenn Maxwell's classic double hundred reminds me of the 2 Australians who both scored 200's in test cricket but never scored another century!

    It's actually happened 7 times with Reginald Foster (way back when) scoring a massive 287 but never reached 3 fugures any other time

    So who are the 2 Aussies?  We're working on an honour system here so googling is not allowed!!

    Are they from the recent past? (As opposed to Reginald Foster from way back when)

    And indeed he did. But not before that run of dot balls on 99. Phew. He kept a cool head though.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
