World cup performance

Teams that are doing well have a very productive top 3. Our top three did not deliver.
We lacked that top class penetrative bowler on these wickets.

We lack other stuff and Kemar selection and fielding were issues, but those top two were to me the difference between the semis and going home.

For me the difference is.
Smith
Kohli
Root
Williamson.

World class number 3 to set the tempo of the innings.

Smith hasn't really fired

Agree but Australia without Smith are rudderless

Weird that after all the plaudits for Bangladesh, they finish only 8th after the group stage. That just seems so out of place with their on-field showing, but the points table doesn't lie.
