Warner and Maxwell copped good deliveries from bowlers who took full advantage of the conditions.
What I don't get is how our bowlers, coaches and tacticians can bat through and watch what happens then come out and ignore the conditions!

Handscomb's form was ordinary next to Wade's? Bad selection. His technique is nothing but a liability against good bowling. The gap between bat and pad when he played on was monstrous!
Stoinis - on the margin injury wise and zero form in the tournament - bad selection.
Agree the bowlers have been hit & miss. Cummins went right off.
English bowlers - they did their job, as they should. Good line and length, bit of movement early....
I agree about selection, but of course selection contributes nothing to the on field performances of those that get the nod. As I said I think politics come into it, I hear Wade is not well liked by the squad and coaches.
In my opinion, as with CFC, choosing, drafting or recruiting your mates remains the most unprofessional aspect of professional sport!

The decision is neither good or bad, it's just a decision that is a coin toss, that's the reality of ODI.
