Aus (Maxwell) cruising @ 8 rpo while Cummings has 11 from 50 balls :wtf: (132 run "partnership")

Maxwell play a gem of an innings. He look a bit fucked now. Had a look at the log must be better for Pakistan/Black Caps to get that 4th spot if Australia win.

Maxwell can barely walk. If he stays on for another 3 or 4 overs then you fancy Aussie to win.

If he goes off now.....not sure.

At over 27, Afghanistan were rated at 99.79% to win.

Aussies and Cricket World Cups huh.....they just peak at the right time.

They were actually very lucky. We got their nr and a fat choking hurt in the past (Donald, Gibbs, Zulu)to settle with them.

Pakistan vs England and Afganistan vs Proteas can also qualify. Black Caps have the better nrr.

It will piss down for the Crappers game tonight and we won't qualify.

That's fine - 4th place is just to find out who India will steamroll on the way to the final.

I suspect they would rather be back home.
