He missed a couple in the field as well, doesn't look the same player at all does Johnny unfortunately.
Ali gone. That's that. We needed a big over a couple of overs before we got it. But Maxwell bowled well in the 11th (I think).
We lost this in the 2nd over. Tried to be clever giving it to Jacks our effectively 7th bowler and just gave them a free hit to the short side got them off to a flier and they kept going with it. Aussies got probs 40 above par.
Just seen the group table and 1 more non result we are done at the expense of scotland. Hell the Aussies could win against Namibia then throw the Scotland game just to knock us out. After the 50 over world cup disaster imagine the embarrassment if we get knocked out by Scotland
This team has all the tools, but we are missing the x factor that Eoin Morgan brought. Time for a change at the top methinks...
I think there will be a clear out after this WC. Jos, Bairstow, Mo, Livingstone, Wood and probably Rashid will go. Need a fresh start.
Our team looked ill prepared and Butler needs to listen to the commentators who suggested that being the WK and Captain is not ideal, he was though along with Mo our best batsman on the day. The Aussies looked better prepared and look capable of going all the way imo..
