Sports Cricket World Cup 2023

It doesn't look easy to hit through the line. It is holding a bit, and some variable bounce. I think this may be the even game the WC has been crying out for.
 
276. Really slow pitch to hit out on

Williamson, Ravindra, and Young

or

Williamson, Ravindra, Chapman?

Chapman needs to ice those innings.
 
Probably the latter just so Ravindra stays at the top of the order rather than dropping down.

That's the conundrum, though I think with a very capable top order in good batting conditions we only need two finishers in Phillips and Santner.

It would be handy if Chapman was an allrounder, he was in his early career.
 
Yeah.... this is a worry. Need Mitchell to dominate the last two overs.

Hopefully the life in this pitch will allow Boult, Henry and Fergusson to dominate!

Yeah tbh I'm not a fan of Chapman's role when it forces Ravindra and Phillips to bowl 10 overs.

Not a big Neesham fan but he'd bring more balance to the side than having a specialist death batter.

I actually don't mind the balance of the side at the moment. If Williamson is fit then I think Young should drop out

I don't mind Phillips and Ravindra as additional options, especially in India, but imo having them as required bowlers is going to backfire badly at some point.
 
Great knock from Fergo. 1 from 5 gives us a chance of making it through to stumps.
