TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

Yeah, that's right.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

The fact is, like, there's no Renshaw, no Smith in the side.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

And I think there are reasonable explanations why the selectors went that way.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

And I think that's okay if guys are purring.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

But I think the fact is that Australia have come into this tournament with nearly their entire top order or everyone that's a specialist batter in the side out of form in this format.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

And, like, maybe Cameron Green's a bit of a lightning rod because he plays so much for Australia and he's had a really... He underachieved in the Ashes and then he's playing... He's batting number three in the World Cup for Australia in T20 and he has not performed.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

And it's like, I'm looking at a guy...

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

You know, it's in that instance when Steve Smith, who has improved his T20 cricket, the selectors are back to Cameron Green again, and he is once again underperformed.

The Grade Cricketer

And I think there's just a time where it's like, this guy is quite clearly, he has all the tools to be a world-class at standing cricketer for Australia, and I still believe that he will achieve those things.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

He needs to come out of the team for me.

The Grade Cricketer

Stoinis has been the best ball in the tournament for Australia.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

Yeah.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

Not a lot of guys got a hit.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

Not many needed.

Not many needed.

I mean, so only Jai Wardner had a T20 World Cup 100 for Sri Lanka before this one.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

Also, there was no 100 in the T20 World Cup last time out a couple of years ago.

The Grade Cricketer
TGC tears as Australia still suck at T20 | AUS v SL | T20 World Cup

So this is the first World Cup 100 since Glenn Phillips in 2022.

The Grade Cricketer

It's Sri Lanka's highest successful run chase at home.
