I thought Williamson hit coughmins for 6? Clarke in his post match interview regretted giving Starc a rest - but that was the call

Is Australia going to get eliminated as they have one win,a draw and a loss?

 

[Pushka]

Unless a country like Bangladesh beats Australia they will be ok.

Nice to see a swing bowler getting the wickets. Funny that

Aus would probably have to lose to Scotland AND Afghanistan to drop out of the top 4. Beating SL would cement their place. England are in danger of missing out though.

No games at all yesterday. SA vs Ireland in Canberra today.

Problem is most pitches in Oz are drop in and not conducive for swing bowlers or spinners.

Pakistan playing well against UAE now - currently 3/196 off 38 overs (Shedzad 93 and Sohail 70).

Shedzad run out

34.1 from Mohammad Naveed, short of a length outside of off which is cut away just behind square. The pair run hard to come back for the second, with a low, flat throw from the man at deep backward point doing enough to rush the batsman into a dive, but it looks like he may have just got home here. Wait a minute though, Shehzad, who is in the 90s, has turned his bat as he attempts to make his ground at the striker's end. It looks like it may have bounced, with the bat failing to ground itself on the all-important white crease. He won't like the end decision, but he has to go. Unfortunate end to what most likely looked like a first World Cup century from a Pakistan bat this tournament

The Australia v Afghanistan match is about to start. Channel 9 are showing it on Gem(or possibly on of the other digital channels). I'm guessing Foxtel probably have the rebroadcast rights later on. I'm busy recording a few other things on Foxtel tonight so this works out well for me.

Oh thank goodness, they finally dropped Shane Watson.

very interesting.

Sensational innings by Australia.

 

[clazman]

Watson dropped .. best decision this year
Australia should have batted in reverse to allow the non openers to get some pitch time ... with all due respect to Afghanistan

 

[JohnK]

With all due respect to Afghanistan they should have batted first after winning the toss.

 

[QF WP]

Yes, I wondered why they sent Australia in - because if they'd batted first and got around the same score as they did batting second, the Aussies may have chased it down in 12-15 overs and the watching public would have got to get home even earlier...

 

[Warks]

Poor old Scotland still can't get a win. Even after posting their best ever score of 318 against Bangladesh they still lost with the Bangers pulling it in with a couple of overs to spare.

India vs Windies in Perth tomorrow. That could be interesting if the Windies lift a heck of a lot and bowl like the Windies teams of old at the WACA.

May be they are paid by the hour.....

After last night this was inevitable. Well done Bangladesh!

Oh that is priceless . They are getting panned by the press. Doubt many will still be in the team next time

 

[JohnK]

And they thought Kevin Pietersen was their main problem!

Any chance they could blame KP for this early exit?

 

[QF WP]

Yes, they didn't have him in the team so they only have themselves to blame. His pre-World Cup form in the past season of 20/20 showed he still had it (the arrogance as well as the batting skills).

I'm off to the SCG today to see the vital fixture between Afghanistan and the underdogs, England.
