Yeah, that's right.
The fact is, like, there's no Renshaw, no Smith in the side.
And I think there are reasonable explanations why the selectors went that way.
And I think that's okay if guys are purring.
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.
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.
And it's like, I'm looking at a guy...
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.
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.
He needs to come out of the team for me.
Stoinis has been the best ball in the tournament for Australia.
Yeah.
Not a lot of guys got a hit.
Not many needed.

Not many needed.
I mean, so only Jai Wardner had a T20 World Cup 100 for Sri Lanka before this one.
Also, there was no 100 in the T20 World Cup last time out a couple of years ago.
So this is the first World Cup 100 since Glenn Phillips in 2022.
It's Sri Lanka's highest successful run chase at home.
