the run out changed the complexion of the match


whatabout the second match ?

South Africa made 229 (or something like that) & the poms ran it down, i didn't think it possible at the break so i switched it off

I am still wondering why Adam Zampa was picked, he and Agar bowled two overs between them, I know Agar's over went for 18 ,but Zampa got the 1 over went for three runs and got taken off and wasn't bowled again, I would have thought in the conditions he would have bowled his 4 overs.

Very ordinary batting effort, if not improved may see us lose to Bangladesh.

Agree, some very strange captaincy decisions that in hindsight cost us dearly.
Agar is our worst spinner and gets put in in the power play when we can only have 2 out fielders.
Zampa, who is our best spinner only gets 1 over on a pitch conducive for spin and where our pacemen were giving up 8 an over.
Smith going in before Warner when he is a better player of spin and the ball was still hard and coming onto the bat.

We need to get our strategy right quickly.

agree with you guys about on field decisions from Smith, most pitches i've seen thus far indicates that you need spinners, PLAY THEM & BOWL THEM, Australia has made this mistake in the Sub-Continent in the past but never ever learn


btw i'll tip the Aussies to get the double tonight

Australia win by 3 wickets with 9 balls to spare against Bangladesh, Adam Zampa 3/23 off his 4 overs.
