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)

  • Quote

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
