India’s openers didn’t bat quick enough on an absolute road - was a 400 pitch had they shown some intent

Great chase by the Aussies - tough on pant with the crowd shouting dhoni


Would be tough on Handscomb and khawaja now if they have to make way for Warner and smith.

Handscombe a bit like Jennings ideal for subcontinental conditions but clueless on more traditional pitches. Struggle to see Steven Smith getting into the World Cup squad

You really wouldn't pick Smith??

Nope, just look at his ODI record averages 42 pretty much a middling kinda record. Smith probably competing with S Marsh, Marsh has been their best 50 over player over the last 12-18 months

Warner would replace Finch tbh. Smith wouldn't be needed

So you would have the Aussies drop their captain. Can’t see it happening

Problem with Smarsh is it's tons in losing efforts. Smith and Warner walk back into that team, no questions asked.

Marsh isnt good enough to get into any aussie side regardless of the format

Classic case of friends/family/name in high places. As is the case in cricket on a whole generally

Kohli’s solution to the problematic number 4 position is to drop the number 4 all together and play another bowler. Bizarre stuff.

Khawaja and Handscombe’s spots must be nailed on for the WC now. Do they drop finch and Stoinis to get Warner and smith in? Or drop maxwell as Stoinis is the 5th bowler

Justin Langer the master of the 'thug life' continually favoured his 'sons' Mitchell and shaun Marsh, yet he's basically ended boths international careeres. Shaun has as of this morning signed a 3 year deal with Melbourne renegades, essentially confirming he's done for Australia

Warner as I said previously will 100% be in their WC starting XI, Khawaja would miss out. Khawaja is dreadful when pitches aren't flat. If Smith gets selected Turner would get dropped

Khawaja maybe not great when the ball is moving about more but the WC pitches are going to be flat. He is about to win player of the series if Australia win the match, there is no way you can drop him.

Smith will probably bat at 3 and Khawaja isn't gonna come in at 4/5/6

I can imagine him batting at 4 in the World Cup - been one of their most consistent batsmen in the last year, surely they'll find a way to fit him in.
