Hey there’s nothing surprising about those two being included for the World Cup, they were called to Dubai earlier in the year to gel with the team. I’ll second that Australia have a very strong team, and both of them are getting match practice in IPL too. Also I feel Australia and England are the team to beat in the World Cup, so it’ll be interesting if these two make it to the finals.

Are you sure? Australia just beat India coming from 2-0 down playing in India and you feel that the current Australian team isn't as strong. Also let me remind you that the Australian team that did beat India on home soil didn't have Warner or Smith playing so I'm not sure what you are saying about not being as strong as previous teams. From the last World Cup, Australia don't have Clarke, Haddin, Johnson, Watson and Faulkner. Apart from that its basically the same team and Australia have replace these players with good players that have shown that they can perform on the world stage. No team is ever the same as it goes for India, England and all the other teams playing so that is why I never compare the teams to previous teams as the Australia has shown that they can match it with the best and beat the best.

The inclusion of Warner and Smith will strengthen the Aussies. Warner has been in top form during this IPL season. One advantage for Australia is that their bowlers are perfectly suited for the English conditions. Mark my words, I think that an Aussie bowler will be the top wicket taker during this world cup. Can be Pat Cummins, or it can be Mitchell Starc.

Completely possible. Starc and Cummins are amazing bowlers, but I am expecting Bumrah to be the leading wicket taker during this edition of the World cup due to his pristine form at present and his amazing death bowling ability.

Also, many Indians like Kohli have also been in top form during this IPL season though that might not translate to great form during the World cup.

It is no doubt that the batting is solely dependent on Kohli to perform all the time and the main players in the team who could perform consistently with the bat are Kohli and Dhoni, the rest of the team members lack consistency and the bowling unit is a good one with Bumrah and Shami leading the bowling with two spinners and i am not sure whether they will be playing both the spinners in English conditions, it all depends upon the pitch condition i guess.

During the 1999 world cup, most of the teams had just one spinner in their playing XI. And some of the teams went with an all-pace attack, with just part-time spinners in the final XI. But now the conditions have changed, and the pitches are tailor made to suit the batsmen. Under such conditions, spinners may be preferred to slow down the scoring rate.

This is going to create some problem for the Afghanistan side. If they include Rashid Khan, then they need to rest Mujib ur Rahman.

What a start form KKR but they are loss two wickets within the powerplay, I think that the KKR will be going to give Big Target to SH so my prediction will be more than 180 runs for KKR.

Humble? Lol. Try harder fool. India have been dominating the ODI and test formats for quite a long period of time now and no one really cares whether you are willing to accept the truth or not.

I clearly pointed out specific players and the Indian team rankings separately, but your brain clearly could not separate the two facts. How in the heck does a team win tests without a good batting lineup weirdo? Don't bother responding since I don't really care about your opinion anyway.

Lol this haunebu dude is key board warrior.  he has on my ignore list for very long but you guys keep quoting him hehehe

This is the 5th time he's engaging with his rude behavior  with other users without any facts just rambling his usual rant and some day every one will put him on ignore.

Would love to throw Indian batsmen test matches stats in front of him specially England and south africa tour But he's too ignorant tbh and sad fact is he's very proud of his ignorance.  he gives bad impression about Indians to other users.  He never reads what others are saying and never gives respect to other people's opinion.

Note : Home matches doesn't  count for obvious reasons because most of time we wins matches or series in home just like any other county.

Maddy clearly pointed about the test match why India is in top and he's 90% right.

And he-she specifically mentioned  that India is good team but not invincible in odi. Which is true and nothing new as well because everything can happen in cricket.

We don't come here for bullying someone. We are here for discussion and like in every other discussion we should respect each other point of views and tackle them with respect and facts.

Humble request to you haunebu. Not cool bro whatever you are doing.
