Australia announces T20 World Cup squad, includes Tim David

[Ankit_sharma03]

[Sgattick10]

Only 2 spinners so the pitches are gonna be super flat or bouncy/grassy...but no worries we'll pick 5 spinners 

[Lone Wolf]

This is a scary squad...  Interesting will be if they drop Smith.  Finch is only weakness. 

Warner

Finch

Marsh

Maxi

Stoinis

David

Wade

4 bowlers

 

Australia will defend the title with ease unless someone plays a freak inns or a spell

If Aus top order (#1-3) is in form, I am not sure if TukTuk-KL-Kohli can even hold a candle to it!

What about hitting of Stoinis- Tim David- Maxwell vs Jadeja- Pandya and DK

It would be SKY-SDP-DK, w/ an option to play Pant or Jadeja or Hooda ... Overall, very competitive  but slight edge to Aus for home conditions

 

Let's not forget that batsmen who are "supposed" to be among the best, "specialists" and most experienced in Ind line up to bat in the top 3, so if that "department" is not up to the mark, it impacts the team big time

 

Stonis-David-Maxwell-Wade follow the excellent Warner-Marsh, while even before the game begins, Ind is under pressure because of its top order (#1-3), where many continue to occupy the positions without sufficient merit despite being considered experienced specialist batsmen

with this pick they would be the favorites considering the crucial fact that they don't succum to pressure in semis or finals

[maniac]

Maxwell mental strength is questionable but guys like Wade, Stoinis and Tim David are cool as cucumber to add to their hitting. 
 

That’s what separates these Aussie hitters from the rest.

What is the significance of mentioning Tim David?

He was playing for singapore until now. So it is a switch

Tim David vs Avesh Khan will be mouth watering.

30 run over on the cards 

[The Realist]

Depressed Meek Rahul would probably faint & fake an injury at the mental/physical drills the Aussies go through

It's easy when no one in Australia cares whether you win or not. 

In India 1 billion people are watching you. Significantly more pressure. 

 

Look at how Aussies fare in rugby. They always lose in finals to big teams in rugby. Most Aussie fans follow rugby. Pressure is a lot higher. They fold under pressure.

huh 141ao against Zim

[nitinbwj]

Zim won a good toss and made best use of the conditions. Aus A.O for 141. Warner scored run a ball 94..rest 47 for 9 

Ryan Burl 3 overs 5 wickets.. 

 

Zim should win this.

[Frustrated]

Aussies getting thrashed by the mighty Zim at home.   Dead rubber? Yes.     But still this must be embarassing for Aussie fans.
