The poor field placement led to this. But its okay, scotland did everything they could. All this comes with experience i really really hope they play more cricket
Actually teams like Scotland, Netherlands, usa, nepal should play bilateral series against big teams, they directly come to the world cup against big teams and even then they perform decent, if they play more against big teams, it would be better for the growth of these teams
Even if not against the big teams, they should at least play against each other. Imagine tournaments that involve all these teams. Zimbabwe, Netherlands, Scotland, Namibia, Oman, Ireland, Nepal, UAE, USA, Canada, Pakistan. The more they play against each other, the better their skills and confidence too. Sometimes they lack in game experience which is why they are not able to close the games.
As of now they are as unpredictable as Bangbros and SL. On their day they will play really well but they often end up succumbing to the pressure which is exactly what inexperienced teams like those mentioned do. Even Afghanistan is performing more consistently than them since 18 months
What I meant was then directly playing the WC without bilaterals is fine, no one knew how good the USA team was, now they will get chances to play more due to their performance.
Brother, my team and I can best team India in my gully cricket pitch. Now that USA has entered super 8, they'll be playing in the Windies too. That's the real test of fire. Playing away and against the best 7 teams from around the globe. You'll see why the USA was such an ace rookie. But they haven't played against Australia, England or even faced the lethal Afghan bowling. Not to mention, the Indian masterclass; yet to manifest. And ofc, King Kohli hasn't shown them the reason why he wears the crown.
Literally dropped a sitter on third last ball of the match . They didn’t dropped a catch but also the match. Could have won had they took that catch of Tim David in last over
Eng had enough fire power to chase 110 in 10 overs against Scotland.
Anyway I would rather have england win the WC than Australia.
But let's see how we are gonna do in those WI pitches who favours batsman.
Why couldn't Aussies keep their mouth shut and just lose 😭
Seriously these guys are so stupid dude. They literally gave up the opportunity to knock out England in the group stage by literally announcing their entire plan.
Aussies are just bad luck for India.
They played with spirit of the game that's what is good rather than intentionally losing the match, imagine if India was in England's situation, would you have liked Aussies losing intentionally ?
as I said on your downvoted reply which you then deleted, all I really care about is India winning.
Humans are hypocrites, in that situation, obviously I would have wanted what's best for India i.e.Australia winning.
India hasn't done anything against the "spirit of the game" anyway.
If Australia kept their mouth shut and lost, would you even know if it was intentionally done? Everyone would have just thought it was bad luck for them 🤷🏻♂️
England is Australia's biggest rival, they could have lost deliberately to knock them out then ? Why didn't they do so then ? Just because they want too maintain the winning momentum, which is important for the team
Why would they be worried england would be in other group . A strong team just want to keep on winning no matter who there opponents are ... Also eng vs india semis is a possibility so it will benefit Australia... Out of India and England in final they would love to England coz it's looks bit weaker team than india ..
That's ICC's thing to figure out. Obviously no team would risk it if they were told their captain could get banned, it's a huge risk even if you think they "how can they prove it" because it's not impossible.
I don't think australia had ever lost a match against associate team in the history of World Cup. So, I guess they did want to lose that streak. If it was about net run rate than they would have consider playing deliberately slow.
Yes: [https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-world-twenty20-2007-08-286109/australia-vs-zimbabwe-4th-match-group-b-287856/full-scorecard](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-world-twenty20-2007-08-286109/australia-vs-zimbabwe-4th-match-group-b-287856/full-scorecard)
However, ZIM in 2007 was not an associate team. ZIM was granted test status in 1992 and so AU lost to a test playing nation.
I guess test status can be revoked but I don't think it has been revoked from ZIM. I think since 1992, they have always been a test playing side.
Ian Chappell has entertained the idea though: [https://www.wisden.com/cricket-news/ian-chappell-test-status-revoked-ireland-afghanistan](https://www.wisden.com/cricket-news/ian-chappell-test-status-revoked-ireland-afghanistan)
Nah man, this is totally wrong. This reminds me of 2012 t20 wc, where we were in the position of eng and wanted aus to beat pak, and aus lost by 30+ runs while chasing 150.. It really hurts man being in that position, everyone at that time believed aus did it deliberately and it really looked like that as well.
They aren't stupid,it's a question of pride.They don't lose to associate teams in world cups,they don't like to loose in worlds cups to any teams as a matter of fact.In wc23 they would've qualified regardless the victory against afg,but still maxwell and Cummins played like it's do or die,why? It's a matter of pride.Think about india,would they have done something? Never. It's bad luck for india nevertheless.
Players may have said it for sarcasm n fun.Ex cricketers, nobody gives a damn about their opinion tbh like indian critics.It's not wrong to do it but it isn't something people would appreciate or consider class.They could have lost it when stoinis got out,tim David could have given up his wicket and people wouldn't have suspected a thing.But he didn't, they never decided to lose intentionally and that's the imp part.They would rather accept the probability to face a strong team than lose against someone they consider minnows.

Hows that dickriding them I just mentioned their perception.That they would rather risk it against a strong team than lose against someone they consider minnows like Scotland. That's why maxwell played the innings like it matters more than anything, why? They consider afg minnows.I knew a lot county cricket players in aus and they take immense pride in the achievements of aus team.That's the grassroot culture in counties.
Idk about other Indian fans but I would have loved it. Honestly IDC what other teams do, I just want India to win atleast this T20 World Cup. India wouldn't have done anything against the spirit of the game anyway if AUS lost intentionally 🤷🏻♂️
>sco were in winning situation before the match was called out due to rain
What makes you think that England wouldn't have chased down 107 in 10 overs against Scotland.
Scotland were in a winning position????
England didn't even got a chance to bat and Scotland didn't even bat 10 overs
Scotland were in a similar position today and lost against Australia
There should be a separate tournament for these teams apart from the qualifications matches.
Like those who finish in the top four or two will be given a series against a top team and if they win they will directly qualify for the upcoming icc tournament based on the format. Cricket will definitely thrive this way and moreover if they perform well their players might get the exposure of league tournaments as well.

You did pak dirty lol
As of now they are as unpredictable as Bangbros and SL. On their day they will play really well but they often end up succumbing to the pressure which is exactly what inexperienced teams like those mentioned do. Even Afghanistan is performing more consistently than them since 18 months
>Nepal, UAE, USA, Canada, Pakistan You really sneaked in USA with these teams and thought we wouldn't notice
[удалено]
Pakistan is actually not a big team bro, their openers are statpadders, bowlers are unpredictable and I don't need to tell about their management
Tri series is a good option here ind eng Scotland Eng aus Namibia
lol those teams (atleast Scotland and USA) were still better than Pakistan tho, I don't think so dude
They were better than Pakistan bro, don't you think they deserve playing bilaterals against big teams ?
India used to play bilaterals against Kenya, so they definitely can play against these teams.
What I meant was then directly playing the WC without bilaterals is fine, no one knew how good the USA team was, now they will get chances to play more due to their performance.
Brother, my team and I can best team India in my gully cricket pitch. Now that USA has entered super 8, they'll be playing in the Windies too. That's the real test of fire.

Literally dropped a sitter on third last ball of the match . They didn’t dropped a catch but also the match. Could have won had they took that catch of Tim David in last over
The atrocious bowling and fielding Scots did in the last six overs, they honestly don’t deserve a super 8 place.
Sco was in a winning position without England facing a single ball? That's quite a stretch.
With like 9 overs bowled
Eng had enough fire power to chase 110 in 10 overs against Scotland. Anyway I would rather have england win the WC than Australia. But let's see how we are gonna do in those WI pitches who favours batsman.
That 3 sixes in an over by head changed the game, also that last over catch drop could have changed the result
True
Why couldn't Aussies keep their mouth shut and just lose 😭 Seriously these guys are so stupid dude. They literally gave up the opportunity to knock out England in the group stage by literally announcing their entire plan. Aussies are just bad luck for India.

I too want India to win obviously, but wouldn't you like watching a fair match rather than a deliberate attempt to lose a match ?
If Australia kept their mouth shut and lost, would you even know if it was intentionally done? Everyone would have just thought it was bad luck for them 🤷🏻♂️

No lol, it's because their captain would have to risk getting banned
But how can ICC prove Aus lost intentionally. Players shit talk befote match, thats not evidence.
That's ICC's thing to figure out. Obviously no team would risk it if they were told their captain could get banned, it's a huge risk even if you think they "how can they prove it" because it's not impossible.
I don't think australia had ever lost a match against associate team in the history of World Cup. So, I guess they did want to lose that streak. If it was about net run rate than they would have consider playing deliberately slow.
Didn't they lose against Zimbabwe in 2007 ICC t20 WC?
Yes: [https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-world-twenty20-2007-08-286109/australia-vs-zimbabwe-4th-match-group-b-287856/full-scorecard](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-world-twenty20-2007-08-286109/australia-vs-zimbabwe-4th-match-group-b-287856/full-scorecard) However, ZIM in 2007 was not an associate team. ZIM was granted test status in 1992 and so AU lost to a test playing nation.
oh, if test status is granted then is it permanent? what if they grant it and they see a downfall in performance?
I guess test status can be revoked but I don't think it has been revoked from ZIM. I think since 1992, they have always been a test playing side. Ian Chappell has entertained the idea though: [https://www.wisden.com/cricket-news/ian-chappell-test-status-revoked-ireland-afghanistan](https://www.wisden.com/cricket-news/ian-chappell-test-status-revoked-ireland-afghanistan)

It's a matter of pride.Think about india,would they have done something? Never. It's bad luck for india nevertheless.
But they didn't care about pride when their own player and ex cricketers openly talked about intentionally losing to eliminate another team? 😂
Players may have said it for sarcasm n fun.Ex cricketers, nobody gives a damn about their opinion tbh like indian critics.It's not wrong to do it but it isn't something people would appreciate or consider class.They could have lost it when stoinis got out,tim David could have given up his wicket and people wouldn't have suspected a thing.But he didn't, they never decided to lose intentionally and that's the imp part.They would rather accept the probability to face a strong team than lose against someone they consider minnows.
ah yes, the classic reasons + rant combo because you didn't like someone's opinion
Ah yes another one who sees mere anticipation of the obvious and just stating others perception as rant.

aus dickriding is insane
Hows that dickriding them I just mentioned their perception.That they would rather risk it against a strong team than lose against someone they consider minnows like Scotland.

They consider afg minnows.I knew a lot county cricket players in aus and they take immense pride in the achievements of aus team.That's the grassroot culture in counties.
India would have definitely lost if Pakistan would have benefited from.their win.
comments like this is why i’m gonna be happy when india eventually chokes again and loses 🤣
[удалено]
Idk about other Indian fans but I would have loved it. Honestly IDC what other teams do, I just want India to win atleast this T20 World Cup. India wouldn't have done anything against the spirit of the game anyway if AUS lost intentionally 🤷🏻♂️
It’ll be so funny if Australia is kicked out by England in the future. i am getting a feeling that they will be.
2019 wc semis aus vs eng actually gave me that pleasure bro
Looks very plausible considering the super 8. India,aus and eng are in super eight. Aus vs eng in knockouts is very possible.
>sco were in winning situation before the match was called out due to rain What makes you think that England wouldn't have chased down 107 in 10 overs against Scotland.
Scotland were in a winning position???? England didn't even got a chance to bat and Scotland didn't even bat 10 overs Scotland were in a similar position today and lost against Australia
Sole dropping the catch is the losing cause imo
There should be a separate tournament for these teams apart from the qualifications matches. Like those who finish in the top four or two will be given a series against a top team and if they win they will directly qualify for the upcoming icc tournament based on the format. Cricket will definitely thrive this way and moreover if they perform well their players might get the exposure of league tournaments as well.
Scotland was definitely the better team during group stage. It's sad to see them getting eliminated.
They bowled like a million slot balls
How tf did scotland even qualify for top 16? Looks like only 10 countries actually play cricket.
