These two batting well. Will be disappointed to not post 375ish here.

Good call by me. Marnus gone for 62

Dirk Nannes commentating with Josh Inglis in the game, nice hook shot to start

Another century for Warner

Gone for 104.

Green needs to score quickly if he is to be any chance to stay in the side. Bats too often with no feel for the game.

Our middle order has been pathetic this WC

Agreed.

Would really love to see Maxy put on a show here.

2 overs to go. Maxy on 75. Could he?

5 balls later

He does. 101 off 40 balls.

Quite a show

Now the fastest World Cup century. Markram made his off 49 balls

Fair effort from De Leede, brings up his ton with a 28-run over.

Made 399.

A good bowling performance and we will get a good boost to the NRR.

Good call, he certainly did that.

The two sixes he hit to get to the ton I think I could have hit for six, full tosses on leg stump

Still some amazing hitting though.

Finish 8/399, might just be enough

That's AB de Villiers level by The Big Show - certainly he delighted the crowd (which I might add is quite sizeable)
I might add, on the whole, the Dutch fielded brilliantly, but they can't put fielders in the crowd.

All out 90. Possibly our biggest ever win in the WC..

It is actually the biggest ever win in the WC. Previously 275.

Full tosses on leg stump because he reverse swept and then reverse hooked sixes just before! Imagine trying to bowl to that. Amazing hitting!

Now for Australia to get the team right. I think Head will come in. He and Marsh provide that potential at the start to put Australia in a position to either get 350+ or chase down 350+ if need be.

Can Marsh bowl? I think I would slot Head in to open with Warner and shift everyone down one. Drop Green and don't bring back Stoinis. That is provided Marsh can bowl. Then have Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Zampa for 10 and Maxwell, Marsh and Head to bowl the other 10 or a few more if need be. Actually, even if Marsh can't bowl, I'd be tempted to do that. I think it was Head's left hand he broke, so shouldn't effect his bowling.

Reckon you are onto something. Interestingly Green didn't bowl and Marsh was given 4 overs.
Certainly Labuschagne would be unlucky if dropped.
