2023 Cricket World Cup

Australia :australia: is done, for this match. Congrats South Africa :south_africa:.

Too early to write Aussies off but they really needed one of Marsh and Warner to get stuck in.

Shadab is the weakness for Pakistan.

Anyway depends on the marquee match vs India.

The Aussies cannot bat.

Long way to go yet.

Australians do seem light weight at the moment , atleast for these conditions.

They should have been carrying other batsmen in their squad though.

Australia’s batting needed to last atleast till the dew became a factor.

Will the Aussies break 200 this tournament?

Totally ruined my evening. Oh wait, I got Latvia :latvia: vs Armenia :armenia: :blush:

3rd Umpire’s had a shocker there, there’s a job going for him at the PGMOL.

What exactly happened there lol ?

Hit his glove but the hand was off the bat.

3rd Umpire seemed to think the bottom hand, whilst off the bat, was touching his top hand which was obviously still on the bat, but it looked like there was a clear gap. I think he was looking at the wrong picture to get that impression.

Just saw the replay.

Complicated as fuck rules. Just count the gloves whether they are in contact with the bat or not as part of the bat.

Or make it the bat that needs to have provided the contact and remove the gloves altogether as they aren’t part of the bat?

Either way works but would prefer the one which gives bit more to the bowler.

The dew setting in hard now.

Maharaj has given a demonstration on bowling with the dew here.

Don’t see Aus making it to the semis. Not with two huge losses.

This has been a good pitch though. All things considering.
