Starting with those who came up will the hundred..... and bin the hundred at the same time tooThey didn't prepare properly for this competition (we said so on here before it had even started). Whether that's because they didn't really care about the competition, they were arrogant enough to think they didn't need to prepare or they couldn't arrange any proper preparation because of the loopy scheduling of the cricket season, I don't know. It has been (in sporting terms) an unmitigated disaster though, and heads should roll.
Australia are hopeless at chasing, their record is abysmal in 50 over games in recent years.On a brighter note, Aussies are 87-6 against Afghanistan chasing 292.
Another victim of losing the toss and having to bat second.
Vertigo!?Aus 96-7 now. Why isn't Smith in the side? Anyone know?
Blimey, that's not something you hear of causing someone to miss a game very often.Vertigo!?
Australia captain Pat Cummins: "It doesn't change the plans too much. We would have had a bat but it's fine.
"We've got two changes. Steve [Smith] has struggled in the warm-up [after struggling with vertigo this week]
They dropped him in his 20s as well.Maxwell 124 not out.
Come on Afghanistan
