🏏 πŸ† ICC World Cup 5th Oct - 19th Nov 2023

4 wickets in 1 ball, wow!!

Edited - D#mn typos

De Kock bowled by Maxwell for 109

What is this Australian fielding like? In the same over, a mis-field leading to an extra run, a dropped catch, and then another dropped catch.

311-7 from 50. Enough?

I was just thinking the same, the could have had a much higher score but I think the Aussies bowled quite well.

The 5th highest score against Australia at World Cups mind, and Australia’s highest run chase at World Cups is 294-4

I have just had to explain the riles of cricket to a Romanian.
Here they are.

Cricket is a game between two teams

One team is in and one team is out.
The team that is in have two players out on the pitch.
The team that is out have 11 players in the field.
The team that is out try to get the team that is in out
When all the players from the team that is in are out the team that is out is in and the team that is in is out.
The team that was in but is now out try to get the team that was out but is now in out
When both teams have been in and out twice the game is finished.

Aussies 56-4

Struggling 65/5

70/6
