2019 ODIs  Eng v NZ

2021 T20s Aus v NZ 

2022 T20 Aus v Eng?

 

An Aus v Eng final completes the series or will we see a new team (or teams) in the final (someone like Ind or SA for e.g.)?

England aren't really looking that strong these days. And for some reason they always underperform in Australia.. probably due to the mental baggage of numerous Ashes defeats. 

 


Reached the final in 1992. 
 

There can be a team that many write off based on how it looks on paper, but can go all the way like: 

 

2007 Ind

2009 Pak 

2010 Eng 

2012 WI (beat SL in SL on those pitches)

2014 SL (Ind was expected to win)

2016 WI (4 6s in the last over)

2021 Aus (Eng-Pak in good form)

No it's not. Wood, Woakes and Topley are much better than our trundler gang. 

 

Rashid is two levels above Chahal. Their only weakness is 5th bowler but Moeen's bowling style will suit Australian big grounds.

All this tells me is that T20 wc (like any other T20 tournaments) is an unpredictable tournament and it's all about doing the right things on the day. No one would have predicted most of these winners. 

 

Even Asia cup is won by a less fancied Sri Lankan side.

Exactly … You have to look at key match winners, not necessarily the whole team unless it has a bunch of stars like MI had (or Aus of 2003 and 2007). 
 

If you look at Eng, an inform Buttler can win it the tournament esp. if he reaches his peak in the knockouts. Other players are bonus. Similarly, Aus with Warner & co.

With teams like Aus & Eng, if they start slowly (like scrape through wins early on) and somehow stay alive in a tournament,  they can become extremely dangerous as the tournament progresses.

SA or Eng vs Aus final is what i see happening.  I cant see NZ upsetting Aus or eng to reach semis. Ind/pak/wi all have equal shot at that 2nd slot from our group but dont see any of 3 going beyond semis.

I will say England's batting power has been overstated big time. It will be the first time in Australia for some of them. And their bowling is worse than us.

Wood, Topley is a much superior attack for Australia.

Ind need to beat Pak on 23rd Oct. They seem to raise their game tremendously against India.Have to be careful

Especially with the filth we have in the name of bowlers and fielders

England are a lock for the final. If Adil Rashid gets back in form, no team can stop them. Not sure Australia are all that good this time around 

Aus if give chance to Cameron green in place of smith will be a very very dangerous line-up 

Imagine this squad

Aaron Finch (c), Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Cameron Green, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.

and this lineup

 

Cameron green

warner

finch 

Maxwell

stoinis

David

wade

Cummins

starc 

Hazlewood

zampa 

7 bowling options and batting depth till 9
