Sports Cricket World Cup 2023

Ravindra is doing such a good job at the top of the order does it make sense to shift him to opener when Williamson returns, or does Young retain his spot keeping the RH/LH opening combo going and have Ravindra finishing the innings at 6/7 with Phillips?
 
Can someone tell me why we aren't playing Sodhi in spin friendly conditions? Drop Chapman.

Some teams are playing 4 spinners. It's it because our captains don't know how to set up for spinners? Santner is getting wickets....

The word is the ball is not coming out well in the nets.

Hard to chuck him in if he can't land them where he wants in practice.

we're going for more all rounders for spinners, and sticking to a 3 prong pace attack.

Apart for a terrible last 10 overs yesterday, we are looking pretty good.
 
Sodhi is horribly inconsistent with his length, he regularly bowls at least one half tracker per over. The pitches aren't the Indian piches of old which were heavily in favor of spinners. When you have two guys in the top 6 in Ravindra and Phillips able to bowl spin at a slightly better than part time standard then it's not a difficult choice to go for the extra batter and leave a guy like Sodhi out.

As it stands at this moment it is an easy switch of Williamson and Young - Ravindra to open.

However, Young has time to make his case and if he is able to put together some consistent scores then Ravindra to 7 and Chapman out is also a strong option considering Chapman at present is purely a late order pinch hitter which Ravindra could easily do.

We persisted with Finn Allen for so long so I feel we are wanting a quick scoring opener to partner Conway.

Either way it is a good problem to have
 
Love a good upset and now Afghanistan have knocked off England and Pakistan to go with Netherlands beating South Africa.

I thought that 12 points would probably be required to get to the semi finals, but with our NRR we might sneak in winning 1 of our last 4.

The more wins the better, but it makes the comp far more interesting when anyone can get knocked off on the day.
 
England is on struggle street against Sri Lanka... oh, how they have fallen since that last CWC of which we shall not speak.
