Updates from the teams’ third outing of the tournament in IndiaPlay starts in Lucknow at 2pm IST/7:30pm AEDT/9:30am BSTAny thoughts? Email or tweet @JPHowcroft
Conditions in Lucknow are hot, but it is cloudier and hazier than last week, which may provide less oppressive playing conditions.
Geoff Lemon was in Lucknow for Australia’s horror show against South Africa.
Even a sputtering Australian side should – let’s stress, should – do the job against Netherlands, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. That would mean they need three wins out of four against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, England and New Zealand. It’s not mission impossible. But it’s going to need something, some sort of spark that can get this team enjoying the challenge instead of being daunted by it.
