The more they showed that no ball the more it looks ridiculous umpiring, the bowlers foot was at least 10 inches over the popping crease. Bollocks, Aussies get Pooran out, good catch mind. Windies 99/3 now.

Daft shot from Hope, WI were cruising to their target imo, wickets falling just changes things. That run out was even worse.

DRS, VAR, whatever system you use, if the twats using it are useless, you still end up with poor officiating. This game has been terrible. To continually put the batsman under pressure like that with a string of poor decisions is embarrassing in what is still the biggest prize in world cricket. 

 

Yeah, I want Australia to do well, but a part of me wants the Windies to go all the way. Cricket is so much better when they are a competitive unit. That, and Jason Holder is one of my favourite cricketers on the planet.

So a 50/50 shot if it was a six or not, no way of telling yet the umpire gives a 4....shocked I tell thee, shocked. Has Murdoch paid this pair of cunts off?

WTF was Russell thinking about there, enough overs left and he was begging to give his wicket away there. 6 down now and the Aussies back in with a chance.

Windies should have done better with the ball when they had the Aussies 75/5, let them off the hook and gave that Coulter Niles too many naff balls to put away. Batting wise they have also aided the Aussies with a few daft shots, TBF Starc has bowled very well and was backed up by Cummins. Umpires should be fined.

Starc is a massive threat

If his fitness holds out he's a huge weapon for the Aussies. That Zampa also looks good, got rattled a bit in his latter overs today, but still good. Cummins also looked very good.

Not keen on their batting line up. It needs someone below number six that isn't just a slogger.

 

They're capable of getting 100 off the last 10 overs, but you'd never back them to get 150 off the last 25 overs if they were four or five down. Too many of them only have one gear.

I agree, they just try to knock the leather off the ball. That is fine against the lesser bowlers, but you have to play the better bowlers on merit. Still think the Windies will make the Semi's. 

Aussies next game is against India, that will be interesting indeed. Windies next game is against SA who might have given up the ghost already.
