Never seen de Kock this focused and animated. He was letting the fielders who were not doing their job have it even with 7 and 8 down. 

 

He seems in ABD mode how De Villiers was so focussed but dejected for 12 months after the 2015 WC Semis loss

We play SA on Nov 5 in Kolkata. We have 5 matches in between. Pak, Bangladesh, NZ, Eng and SL. That match will be a cracker.

Aus should have picked at least 2 spinners if not more. Green let them down badly. Zampa is no longer a threat after the mauling by Klaasen. 

yeah, what were they thinking coming to India with only one frontlinespinner?

Agar and Head are injured. Still they should have selected Tim David over Green and included some BBL spinner

Resident Champak supporters who were putting this guy on Mouht Rushmore  before Indian match. Champak this and champak that, how will Indian face Champak.

 

Indian did just fine and now SA also did just fine against him.

"Experienced" players killed them.  Smith/Warner who occasinal show sparks. Still below par.

New Zealand is to this decade what Australia was in 90s and 00's. 

 

NZ seems to trend upwards in multi-team tournaments. 

 

This might be the worst OZ team to have fielded WC?

1979 was by far the worst. Oh fielded? Maybe. Overall 1979 team was bad. Lacked Packer players.

ABDV was robbed, that fatty Philander had no business playing that game 

[nitinbwj]

Chapman and Phillips haven't even fired for NZ yet.

Went to watch the match at the stadium and it was a good match though it was shocking to see Aussies dropping so many catches.

 

Also as far as everyone was talkin about bad pitches in LKO it seems this time Lucknow may have the best pitch amongst the entire World Cup Venue group lol

 

though I dunno what is it made of and what they particularly changed in this pitch also loved the grass pattern overall a good match..Attending all the upcoming matches at my homebase incl EnG vs Ind ( Its almost sure but will finally reveal on the match day when I enter the stadium lol )

The biggest flop show was by March, can't bat/bowl or field 

He won them the T20 World Cup, so can definitely do all 3. It’s a different format though and Aus playing the same team more or less across the formats, just like India.

Klassen has done a great favor to all teams

Should we give a tactical rest to kuldeep in the league match against SA
