And that Head did, your backhanded dig doesn’t bother me mate, I believe I predicted us to win with Trav going downtown
No dig intended! I was worried when Smith got out and with the way the ball was moving and Head was playing at that time, I thought it was going to be on Marnus to bat the innings and hoping others would make enough contributions around him. Up step Travis Head to play one of the best innings we'll ever see. To Marnus' credit, he played a fantastic role in supporting Head. It was a brilliant partnership to back up the effort of the bowlers and fielders in the 1st Innings.
I love the way One Day Cricket has been played in this World Cup. The batting is entertaining, but there is still great value on a wicket. Depending on the conditions - we've seen everything from low 200's to high 300's be a competitive target. The batsman are making centuries and the bowlers are taking 5fers.
Credit to Cummins and the brains trust of this Australian World Cup campaign. They got everything right.
