Vince and Root out early. What a start from the lefties opening the bowling.

Pakistan suddenly back in with a sniff: NZ tonight then Afghanistan & Bangladesh to finish. Also Sri Lanka who have SA, WI & India. Ringinland now probably need to beat both India & NZ.
Shows you how good he is, the process of 'getting into form' sees him sitting at the top of the tournament run-scorer table.

I've been wanting a dominant bowling performance to knock over England or India and our quicks duly delivered. Absolutely brilliant in that first 10 overs and across the innings really. I thought we might have been a bit short on runs but it didn't matter. I'm stoked.

England a big chance to miss out now, which is great.
If England miss out on the finals in home Rugby AND Cricket World Cups, I mean....... could it get any better?
I still watch that Matt Giteau try against England and the sadness dripping from the home commentator's voice is frankly arousing. I have to be careful watching it at work.

No Barbs, it could not. It would be the happiest day imaginable.

Surely, the best moment in Australian Cricket since the incident. I would have loved to have been in the crowd relishing in misery of the English fans after their classless booing of Warner and Smith.
Fabulous Geoff Lemon article on the match. Cricket writing is at an all time high at the moment

Stayed up and watched the whole match. Outstanding bowling and fielding efforts from Oz. Starc's ball shown above in Bh's post would have to be one of the best balls bowled I've ever seen. Add Behrendorff's delightful inswinger to have the Poms 1-0 (in Oz-speak) and the well-taken outfield catches (what about the Maxwell/Finch combo to remove Woakes?, superb! And Uzzy's running outstretched grab half a metre from the boundary off Buttler?, magnificent!) to make a comprehensive victory. The momentum Australia are gathering with both bat and ball allied with deadly fielding must have the other teams concerned. Very concerned.
There're a few articles over on cricinfo about Australia's DNA come Cricket World Cups. Let's hope they don't put the mocker on us.

Good point Lindo, the talk of us winning the thing is very dangerous.
Before the tournament you'd suggest a semi-final appearance was about par, and we should be rightly satisfied we got to that point.
I'd hope to get a semi-final against New Zealand, who look a good outfit but maybe not quite what they were in 2015.

He's in a league of his own in Australia. Gideon is Gideon, but that Geoff has been largely on online 'blogger' rather than writing with the support of The Australian is a testament to his quality.
