Miller gets his ton on a brilliant shot.
Has there been a CWC with as many hundreds?

@NTA Yeah - Zampa not quite carrying the Australian attack, but easily the most effective bowler - until this game.

The bowling averages make interesting reading. Six of the top 10 are Indians -with Rohit and Virat rolling their arms over and each grabbing a cheap wicket.
Shami (with a boost by us) has been sensational. As has Bumrah when you look at his economy rate.
Zampa and Coetzee the best of the other frontline bowlers - with Mathews, Wasim and Pandya bowling less overs.
At the other end of the scale, Mark Wood - often billed as the world's fastest - has close to the worst figures of a frontline bowler. Mustifizur and Ravindra (to the extent that he's frontline) battling that out, with almost identical stats - exactly the same number of balls bowled and wickets taken. The Neesh the only guy in the tournament who got his economy rate into double figures!
Haven't seen anything past the first quarter of the game, but at 174/6 Oz had let SA back in. Would have expected this to be the game for Smith and Marnus to shine.

Fancy Aus to win this, India top order due a failure, Aus fast bowlers could cause trouble. Smith to come off in the final. Would love to see it
I'd love to see Smith get a ton.
Along with Warner, Head, Labuschagne, and Marsh.
500 ought to do it.

@Dodge India paying $1.43 Oz $2.75 on the NZ TAB.
That feels about right to me.
Australia needs a lot of things to go right. They've got more matchwinners in their bowling than NZ, but their batting has been a lot less consistent than us.
That probably mean they've got more chance of beating the Indians than we had, but also more chance of getting thumped.
TBH Go India!
