I was extremely impressed by their level. Reckon we are starting to slide as a cricketing nation. Most of those names have been there a long time.
Agree. Squad in decline sorely needs regeneration, rejuvenation.
Prefer to lose with youth, who may gain from the experience, instead of 'used to bes' (Warner, Msrsh) & 'neverwases' (Stoinis etc)

Funny about Stoinis, he just never seems to do anything bar the odd innings here or there. Here’s his last 31 ODI scores:
458 @ 15.
Wrong horse.
Bad fielding is a coaching issue.
Nearly all our white ball players are going backwards. Smith, Maxwell, Cummins, Carey even Zampa now etc.
Need a dedicated white ball coach to give renewed focus.
Add Maxwell.
Talented player but his last 10 ODI's - 140 runs @ 14.0
I'm talking selection. Where's Kuhnemann? Murphy? Why are we only playing three specialist batsmen?
Start again Spook.
Take some sort of miracle to win what 6/7.
Can’t see but Waiting has a habit of putting his curse and the opposite happens
Yeah he's near our best bowler.
But his batting (like every world cup he goes to) isn't standing up.
Reckon they wanted to play the quicks as first option, if didnt work then go to 3 spinners i.e. Agar.
He got ruled out for first half of Cup late on and yes should have replaced him straight away with a like replacement. Not Marnus.
Poor selection.
But our white ball woes run deeper than that. Been poor under this regime in both forms after winning World Cup under Langer. The home 20 over World Cup was a debacle.
The fielding is nearly always a reflection on coaching.
It means either A) the little things aren't being adhered to or B) the players minds aren't in the game.
Usually both.
Either way, player performances dropping off across the board along with fielding standards is on the coach.
Spot on Leysy!
Pace bowling hasn’t really worried our first two opponents!
Cummins 1 wicket and has been smashed all over the ground.
Starc better.
Hopefully Agar comes in.
Just some poor, strange selections and the team is bereft of confidence.
Here's a chart that backs up Leysy on our fielding:
We might get to Scotland soon!! #coaching #bringbackbobsimpson

We didn't win the World Cup under Langer.
Marnus should have been in the squad to start with. Abbott is a waste of a spot.
Pakistan have started nicely against India.
Good to see. Can't imagine playing in front of that crowd would be easy.
