There was a time after Alex Ferguson retired where several teams started improving their records against Manchester United, and every time you watched a game at Old Trafford, some record was overturned, and the opposition were lauded for playing great football.

Then after a while, you just realise, like...

they're just playing against the shit team.

And I think a lot of players are going to have some good results against this Australian bowling attack for a little while if they aren't able to fix it.

But yeah, it isn't to take away from Nisanker.

He was excellent.

Sri Lanka absolutely roar into the next round as well.

And I think they'll be pretty... I mean, I think they've got England, Pakistan, West Indies.

I think that... I could be wrong there.

Maybe South Africa.

That's right.

And they'll be a good shout of finishing the top two there as well.

Someone else.

Yeah.

Yeah, isn't it like all the teams finishing top are in the same group and all the teams finishing second are in that one?

Well, that just reeks of integrity to me.

Anyway, no, you can't really offer excuses or, you know, criticisms at this time.

And, yeah, I mean, I think for Australia –

Will a conversation in Australia begin about what's happening here?

Or will we start to take a look at pre-season trials of footy?
