Khwaja having a completely pointless tournament so far.
A lot on the toss. If Pakistan can bowl first then they'll trouble the batsman due to the conditions.Good for Pakistan. Think the only way they'll get anything out of the game is with some help from the weather.
Got a great chance, big over this one.Finch double century then?
Don't see Sri Lanka chasing this down.
What about Warner’s near run a ball ton versus Pakistan?Warner struggling with his strike rate which is a bit concerning. He looked in excellent form in the IPL (albeit vastly different conditions and format).
Surely it’s Khawaja or Marsh - not both? Especially with Smith in at 3.
Probably need either another all rounder or big hitting batsman in.
They’ve never been a truly top team. Let’s not even get into the disgraceful backdrop of their only World Cup win. If you took the chucker out of their team during their golden period, they’d have had an average at best bowling line up for the most part. They’ve had a couple of great batsmen but as a squad they’ve never been up there with the best.It's sad how far the quality in SL team have fallen. Always used to be a tough team to play in WCs. Hope they find some quality going forward.
They’re trying to play to the DL score (given the weather forecast), hence their accelerated start to the innings, they know there’s no other way for them to even stand a chance otherwise.Don't see Sri Lanka chasing this down.
Yeah it's smart.They’re trying to play to the DL score (given the weather forecast), hence their accelerated start to the innings, they know there’s no other way for them to even stand a chance otherwise.
Sorry about your OCDThat over: 6 2 5 1 0 4
Shame the 0 wasn't a 3.
What forecast? 40 % chance of 'light rain' for about half an hour. Might lose a couple of overs at worst.They’re trying to play to the DL score (given the weather forecast), hence their accelerated start to the innings, they know there’s no other way for them to even stand a chance otherwise.
Yeah I thought we were forecast a full days play.What forecast? 40 % chance of 'light rain' for about half an hour. Might lose a couple of overs at worst.
Good point, which is making his recent struggle with his timing/strike rate even more confusing? His still up there amongst the top run scorers. He’s just not striking it at his usual strike rate.What about Warner’s near run a ball ton versus Pakistan?
I wouldn’t put it down to much mate. I think he’s in good form and his return has undoubtedly strengthened Aus. To more immediately concerning news for Aus... Sri Lanka may have a chance here?Good point, which is making his recent struggle with his timing/strike rate even more confusing? His still up there amongst the top run scorers.

He’s not in the team.Maxwell getting some turn. Zampa will enjoy bowling on this.
Yeah agreed.I wouldn’t put it down to much mate. I think he’s in good form and his return has undoubtedly strengthened Aus. To more immediately concerning news for Aus... Sri Lanka may have a chance here?
They've unfortunately gotten themselves into a rutExpecting SL batting to collapse soon but it would be hilarious if they win.
