2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

[A.P Haux]

That said, they are very much capable of losing against Bangladesh.

Just noticed the lead sponsor for the Aussies is 'HCL Tech'? Was Qantas pushed out of the way on account of Emirates' global contract with the ICC? To avoid Ambush Marketing?

I don't think Qantas have sponsored Australia for three years or so.

Amazing start to the WC: 199/10 followed by 177/10!

Know a few people who went there and exited midway.

I don't blame them, If anything I am surprised many neutrals even watched this game till the end.

Picture from the 1st match of the recently concluded Ind v Aus series. Qantas is the lead sponsor. In fact, they have done so for quite some time.

Australia doesn't have any main sponsor for now, Qantas is our away tour sponsor!

They are overseas sponsors after a Google.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that Qantas sponsored the 'Away' tours. Alinta Energy moved away- guess they will fill in post the World Cup for the upcoming 'Home season'.

ICC's Ambush clause must be sticking into CA pretty hard here- Qantas would have paid a decent amount to land the rights, only to not to feature in ICC tournaments.

A stupendous comeback after this shitshow or a group exit after 07 WC's - 31 years!

I'LL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT! <3

Australia have started horribly before like this, and then have gone on to win the whole thing (1999). Anyone would be incredibly stupid to count them out this early!

Right said! Also, I don't agree with some of the criticism leveled against Pat Cummins. The Aussies have been let down by poor fielding majorly.

I have no doubt that they are going to deliver absolute thrashings in the upcoming few fixtures.

Not about being result oriented but Oz have not given a pee pee about this format since winning in 15. It's unimaginable that they have come here without Lyon and are playing with almost an English like 90's team with bits and bobs cricketers who are T20 stars but just don't cut it in this format.

Also, you can see that most of their cricketers are unsure of roles and totally rusty.

The first half is true to an extent but WC is WC, now for Lyon (He is injured) just like Agar (Should have selected Kuhnemanm though)

I keep reading majority are rooting for SA winning the whole thing, I think I agree plus they don't have AB De weighing them down.
