Official ICC 2015 CWC thread

Catches win matches and considering finch made 40% of the aussie total that is a rather big turning point. Ofc not to say no one else makes runs but it was a big difference maker. Maxwell was dropped by butler on 46 and ended up making 66 + 2 run out chances missed as well. All these add up...

yes, you have to take your chances, especially 4th ball of innings...but then again, would Warner, Watson and Smith have failed. There is no way of telling
 
Just watched the highlights of the NZ game...couple of beauties that Boult bowled. Amla needs to be careful if he plays against them on a day that the ball is swinging. QdK doesn't need to be careful...he won't last long against bowling like that :p
 
Will have to figure a way how to play Starc up front. If they can take him on and make him misfire after that then they have a chance. High risk. Or try and play them out and take chances later.

Anyway, the depth of Aussies is the key. Effectively you are in tail with Behardien and Philander, they can bat but not reliable. Behardien is not up to this level imo. Then hopefully Steyn can slog a few but Tahir and Morkel are dead set bunnies.

In Aussie team, Johnson, Starc and Hazelwood can all bat in tail. They have runs in tail while still having their best attack.

I'm aware of the state of the Proteas' tail. It is very long. Once JP is gone it is a game of skittles.
 
I'm sure most of you know this already buy just putting this out there for those who didn't.

If bandwidth is a problem or you get in trouble for video streaming cricket at work :whistle: [killing the network speed, company cap and not being "productive"].
You can can listen to live commentary on radio 2000 streaming (http://sabc.co.za/wps/portal/SABC/listenlivepopup#fragment-13) or over a radio (97.2 – 100fm).

will test them all out on sat morning for the Proteas game.
