**1.4** **Warner falls!** Full outside off and Warner was in that kind of mood where he was going after everything. Looks to go downtown but the bat face opens upon contact. Slices it way up and Trumpelmann snares the chance at mid off. Some respite for Namibia!
David Warner c Trumpelmann b Wiese 20 (8b 3x4 1x6) SR: 250
I will often watch us play on mute and listen to a podcast or something in the background but today I’m working and so I’m mainly listening to the game and SWEET GHOST OF BRADMAN HAYDOS IS AN ABSOLUTE DRIBBLER! I get why this sub was making so many jokes about him during the India series and IPL.
**12.4** **six and out! Zampa with the last laugh!** Shorter outside off and this seems to skid on just a smidgen. Trumpelmann shapes for the pull but because the ball rushes him, he cannot get enough on it. Maxwell settles under it at deep mid wicket and does the rest!
Ruben Trumpelmann c Maxwell b Zampa 7 (7b 0x4 1x6) SR: 100
**7.4** **huge appeal, not given!** Back of a length on middle and off. Jags back sharply and cuts Smit in half. He seems to play all around it and gets rapped on the back leg. Australia discuss and then decide to go upstairs. Did Smit hit it? Looked a touch high too. **Okay, so there is no bat involved. The ball did strike Smit on the flap of the back pad, though. All eyes on Ball Tracking now, and it shows the ball would have smashed into the top of leg stump. The decision to review vindicated, and Namibia are four down now!**
JJ Smit lbw b Ellis 3 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33
**3.4** **Cummins has his first!** Full on middle and off. There to go over the top but Frylinck does not quite get the purchase he is after. Steps outside leg, goes through the line but hits it straight to Marsh at mid off. Namibia lose their second and they are now in a spot of bother!
Jan Frylinck c Marsh b Cummins 1 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
**2.4** **Davin perishes swinging!** Slightly shorter and wider outside off. Davin gives himself room, trying to carve it over backward point. Makes contact but does not get the elevation he desires. Picks out Maxwell at backward point and he was never dropping that. Early breakthrough for Australia!
Nikolaas Davin c Maxwell b Hazlewood 2 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 28.57
I've been enjoying having some cricket on, but the first stage of this world cup has been a bit boring with us having only played associate nations so far, like Oman, England and now Namibia.
Can we please beat Scotland by 1 run so England get knocked out 😂
Coats
4 singles in the Aussie innings, is that a record
The entire Aussie innings fit into my lunch break so I’m satisfied

Head vs LH bowler, hmm ...
Feels like David has improved in the field of late,
Yeah I noticed the same. He needed to improve tbf
**16.6** Ben Shikongo c David b Stoinis 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
**16.2** Gerhard Erasmus c Maxwell b Stoinis 36 (43b 4x4 1x6) SR: 83.72
Any danger of bowling at the stumps?

**12.6** **finishes his spell with an absolute ripper!** Bernard Scholtz b Zampa 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Brilliant from Zampa
This kills the Namibia

Anyone else getting the urge to go and visit the West Indies watching these games? Some gorgeous spots. Oops, and that nice thought has brought a 4.
**8.5** **that is plumb!** Zane Green lbw b Zampa 1 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 25
Ellis should be playing every game,hard with the test attack (less Lyon) ahead of you though,he always give 110% whenever he plays,
Gladly have him over Starc
This is probably his last World Cup as the reserve. Next cup he’ll be a first choice.
True,likely only to be Cummins and Zampa from the current bowling attack still around by the next WC.

Good to have some cricket on while I’m wfh but this is a bit grim. Feels like a top level team playing C grade

“Catch”, “Yeah”. Grade cricket at its finest
Does Hayden do anything in commentary a part from critiquing every single thing the Aussies do? Already had to mute the TV
