This is precisely why you don’t let Smriti edge repeatedly through the slips early in the innings.#AUSvIND 🏏

More keepers should spend their last few games before retirement running around in the field.#AUSvIND 🏏

An interesting data point that Cricket Australia might want to take into consideration if they're still contemplating privatising the Big Bash. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

I assume and hope this is a lie. #Ashes #T20WorldCup 🏏

Those last two balls mean that India are ahead on for and against in this series.#AUSvIND 🏏

Extraordinary effort from India to have an even worse final five overs with the bat than Australia.#AUSvIND 🏏

Harmanpreet and Molineux both have 23 on their back. A captain with a different number in the next match please.#AUSvIND 🏏

Super catch. Super review.#AUSvIND 🏏

Thank you, Sophie #AUSvIND 🏏

Very normal defensive shot.#AUSvIND 🏏

Good work from India. Australia looked like they were on target for about 190 for most of that innings. Unluckily lost about 30 runs somewhere along the way.#AUSvIND 🏏

Beth Mooney picking up the slack. Great partnership batting.#AUSvIND 🏏

Fox Cricket commentators talking about naming the series trophy after great players (à la Border Gavaskar). I’m open-minded on that but will always return to @cricketbatcat.bsky.social’s suggestion that PLAYER of the series should be awarded the Raj-Perry Beret#AUSvIND 🏏

I’m old enough to remember when Georgia Voll was struggling to find her timing this innings#AUSvIND 🏏

Georgia Voll really struggling to get one of these mistimed shots to go to hand.#AUSvIND 🏏

Ready for them to give it another go #AUSvIND 🏏

Last plug for this#T20WorldCup 🏏

“I’ve never felt more humiliated than I did this morning when I was told by the bloke down at the servo that Australia had been knocked out of the T20 World Cup. Fuck me, I didn’t even know we were in it, and now we’re out?” #T20WorldCup 🏏

Much like the Australian cricket team I’ve been mostly indifferent to this T20 World Cup, only half-heartedly paying attention, leaving it to others to participate in properly. But the match between South Africa and Afghanistan captured my attention in the best possible way. #T20WorldCup 🏏

Come on Sydney. At least bring the rain in time to prevent the match from being official.#AUSvIND 🏏

Ditto.#AUSvIND 🏏

Losing first up to India after clean sweeping the Ashes 16-0 last summer feels like an unnecessarily cruel belated jab at the England side.#AUSvIND 🏏

Australia’s batters should have known they might struggle with timing after hearing that national anthem.#AUSvIND 🏏

Over to you, skip.#AUSvIND 🏏

Sutherland batting at eight?#AUSvIND 🏏

If I were the Australian women’s cricket team, I would simply stop losing wickets.#AUSvIND 🏏

More like Phoebe SWITCHfield, amirite?#AUSvIND 🏏

Pez has had enough of this maiden bullshit.#AUSvIND 🏏

We’ve got ourselves a driving, tonking, sweeping, cutting Georgia Voll.#AUSvIND 🏏

Superb anthem work. Here we go.#AUSvIND 🏏

Okay. Almost time for the good Australian T20 team to spring into action.#AUSvIND 🏏

Supun has the right idea. A Few Good Manentis!

The important thing is that was the last Australia game in a decent time slot for us anyway. So no real point moving through to the next round. Good sportsmanship to step aside for Zimbabwe.#T20WorldCup 🏏

I’m assuming Stoinis is unable to bat too. (Not in general - I’m referring to this specific innings where he’s injured.)#T20WorldCup 🏏

Well now. This is fun.#T20WorldCup 🏏

A truly spectacular review. Wonderful stuff from Oman.#T20WorldCup 🏏

“But Noor pulls a short ball from Rabada for six. His 15th in 195 T20 matches. He is suddenly Lance Klusener. In more ways than one.” - great stuff from @jarrodkimber.bsky.social #T20WorldCup 🏏 https://www.goodareas.co/p/the-game-that-wouldnt-die

Back of the hand slower delivery first ball? I reckon Ellis just did that for Adair. #T20WorldCup #T20WorldCup2026 #IREvAUS #AUSvIRE

Retired hurt first ball of the chase is a decent gambit, but still a loooooooong way to go to compete with the madness of the South Africa-Afghanistan match, you two.#T20WorldCup 🏏

Great to see Steve Smith being called INTO a tour as a result of something unusual happening to a ball.#T20WorldCup 🏏

Anyway. Australia has deigned to finally enter the tournament and dull things down a little.#T20WorldCup 🏏
