If the first ball from Seales bowling to Nissanka had been taken by Carty, we could have won the match. He went on to score 79 runs. Sri Lanka won by 41 runs. Do the maths.

Thats not how things work. The timeline would have been different

We selected a poorly balanced side

And those we selected played poorly

We suck from head to tail

@Windiesfan78

That’s a stretch…..and then some.

it was the first ball of the match. A whole 49.5 overs left for them to bat.

By the same token, you could say it would have brought Mendis to the crease earlier and he would end up with a ton and they coulda score 375 in their 50 overs.

Ease up on Carty

@imusic

I will not ease up on Carty. Sorry.

Well, back to the drawing board, the team was balanced they just didn't get it right. I suspected after Greaves got out the team was going to struggle, he was the set batter

@dayne

Four bowlers and three all-rounders

Come nah man
