Yes Mick, but you were 23 years old at the time.

Nah, I was only 22, I started early.

Australia's fast bowlers are sitting in third last place on the table for fast bowling wickets.
40 wickets - the same as those fast bowling exponents Nederlands.
The two top teams of the tournament, both of whom beat OZ handsomely, India and Seth Efrica , are not surprisingly first and second respectively.
Does not bode well for Oz in the finals.

Cummins and Hazlewood were never known as swingers of the ball and Starc has swung very few. Ba c k to basics for that skill I think.

Unless Glenn Maxwell is playing for NZ, I'd say they're in trouble.

How good is that man Kohli in his own dung hap?
Well on his way to his Third ton in the WC with another 5 scores over 50.
Has now overtaken Tendulkar as the highest run scorer in a world cup with every liklihood of getting another hit in the final.
At the top of his game.

NZ 398 to win.

I don't think so.

Got close, were in it until Williamson and Phillips were together.

Now we wait to see if Aus and Seth Efrica even get to play after a heavy storm in the Kolkata area.

Just heard the weather outlook has improved, now only a 7% chance of rain.

Fingers crossed.

What are the rules on wash outs for this comp? Is it higher on the ladder goes through or a replay?

There are two days set aside for this match. If it's rained out on both days SA goes through as they finished higher on the ladder.

Freak. Beat us in a test series at home off his own bat a few years ago. Used to be a bit of a wanker, but if he was playing for Australia I wouldn't mind. Could he end up being better than Tendulkar?

 

[SirRumpole]

Could he end up being better than Tendulkar?

He already is in ODIs having just scored more centuries than Sachin.

 

[Sean K]

Yessssssss!!!!!

 

[SirRumpole]

YEEEEEESSSSSS !

3-22 . Looking good.
