Australia haven't got the runs in them to win it IMO. Smith is top class but doesn't have a good enough strike rate. He relies on others around him getting runs quick. Coulter-Nile will probably never better his innings today.
Someone ALWAYS scores the runs. If NCN had got out for 10 then we'd have seen Cummins' first ODI fifty. They're so fucking annoying. I hope someone thrashes them
If England are to win the WC then we probably need to beat one or both of these teams. I would say India are our biggest threat and then Australia.
PS Zampa is not very good & it's little things like this that can make the difference
Zampa has proved to be very expensive, likely we will see Lyon take his place from hereon.
From what I've seen so far, England have a stronger batting and bowling line-up than all the sides, with IND running them very close in the batting dept, however, Bumrah apart, I don't think their bowling is as good as England. Windies will continue to surprise teams, simply because of the ferocity of their bowling, but feel they are a batter short / though could eventually get the 4th spot.
What’s surprising me is we’ve yet to see a team start to really accelerate the RR between the 20-30th overs. Despite the batting power of most sides everyone seems content playing quite safe in the middle overs.

WI are relying on 9, 10 and 11 to score 37 from 24 balls. Aussies are going to win.
Nurse has smashed 2 from 11
The Aussies at cricket are a bit like The Germans at football.
Very hard to beat with a never say die attitude and fearless.
WI 273-9. Aussies win by 15.
India won the toss and will bat.
The Oval a sea of blue.

Cracking atmosphere.

No swing at all for Starc
I wonder if 'the aussies' are at the Oval?.
