to these situations which were bespoke and discreet.

The Grade Cricketer

They decided to fuck off Renshaw.

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

They didn't use Smith.

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

They instead backed the boys who'd got it done before, including Cameron Green.

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

And they've come unstuck.

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

And I do think there's a level of arrogance to that.

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

I do think that it's easy to say in retrospect, but Steve Smith would have been a better selection than Cameron Green, who was not bowling, at least in this game.

In this situation, Renshaw missing out, I think, is...

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

deliberately ignoring form and horses for courses selection, also left-handed for this situation.

But you are talking about fitting Smith and Renshaw into a 3-7 of Green, David, Inglis, Stoinis and Maxwell.

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

You probably would have had to get rid of Cameron Green and Glenn Maxwell.

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

They've obviously decided to go with the guys that they'd invested in in the last year or two.

The Grade Cricketer

for Sri Lankan conditions.

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

They've made a mistake there.

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

They probably thought, look, we'll have enough.

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

And maybe they're entitled to think we should have enough to beat Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, but they have been absolutely pasted by them.

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

They've taken four wickets in two games, and those four wickets have gone three to Stoinis and one to Green.

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

Absolutely, for Australia, yeah.
