Indians will be hard to beat if they keep that form up..
What are you talking about with keeping that form Elwood? Easily the best in the world by miles. It is hard to see them not take out the final trophy.

I reckon we laid down and played dead.
I can't see how our own form can be so variable by accident, the bowlers looked to be going 80% at best, and fielding was almost comical.
I think we've deliberately kept our foot off the pedal so we don't go too hard too early with our hand, until the finals when we only have to beat them once at the right moment!

Mants, I think England were the No 1 one day team in the world?...India are very good at all forms though.

Stoinis needs to extract the digit. Hasnt been doing the job with bat or ball.

Not even good enough to be in the squad. Bowls pies, bats like a backyard bully.
Play Marsh and Lyon - dump Stoinis and Zampa.
Open with Khawaja, Marsh at 3, Warner at 4, Smith at 5. Or Warner at 3, Marsh at 5....
Tell Coulter-Nile to start bending his back when bowling or else....no Hazelwood is a howler imo.
Re: World Cup - 2019 - Professer E - 06-10-2019
Warner is batting in a mystifying manner - blocks or fours. And a lot of blocks. Khawaja being demoted has hurt him as well, as he works the ball around when the fields are up, not a power hitter. Zampa selection is divisive - wickets he gets seem to be charity offerings, doesn't threaten quality players. Need to pick a bowler with more bite. He isn't even the best spinner in the country.

I tend to agree, Starc was bowling very low 140s....he and the others looked pedestrian at best.
The batsmen played liked it was a warm up game...maybe by design....would still bring in Lyon and Marsh....

My bad dude. Still can’t imagine India not going all the way. They do cover most of the bases in all forms. Maybe that is my bad when I see a country being the best at the sport. Sorry Elwood.

Spot-on !!
And Kholi is a damn good captain too.

As long as England don't win. Not that I think we will by the way. India for mine.
