    Brainless cricket from the Aussies. Great to see.

    38-4

    Enjoy it while you can folks. Australia will still find a way to win the whole thing

    It confirms what I've always suspected, which is that modern white ball batsmen, however talented they might be have been flattered by easy pitches and relatively tame bowling

    Is the limit for bouncers two an over?

    Always pleasing to see an Australian batting collapse

    I doubt that was ever in question. Yes the style of batsman and aggression is much different, but easy pitches and smaller boundaries have no doubt been a massive contributor!

    The likes of Smith and Kohli stand out as they are able to do it in all conditions when their teammates are struggling. Really looking forward to seeing Kohli against this Windies bowling attack

    Smith got away with that pull shot.

    I was speaking to my son this morning about earning the right to be there when conditions get easier as he's been getting out, on occasions, through poor selection and not because the bowlers have been doing anything special.

    So it was rather good of Messrs Khawaja and Maxwell to demonstrate what not to do in such circumstances. But even better to see Carey demonstrate that a batsman should not feel scoreboard pressure even when only having 3 off 26 balls. Because now he is on 39 off 48. And counting.

    I've probably jinxed Carey now!

    Smith just rapped on the glove.
    Excellent.

    There does seem to be a lot of balls in this WC that are getting up off a length. It will be interesting to see if the Aussie quickies find anything in the pitch.

    Trent Bridge hasn't lived up to its reputation of being a batting paradise so far!

    I was just thinking I don't fancy watching England v the WI pace attack.
    Then I remembered we're going to England v WI at Southampton next Friday. Doh.

    West Indies fielding hasn't been all that good

    What a catch that was.
    Modern day fielding at times is incredible

    That catch by Cottrell was brilliant, to grab it one handed was impressive enough before the out and in at the boundary.

    You could have had 100/1 on Coulter-Nile being top run scorer in this innings.
