Same old teams at home for us again. When are we going to get Bangladesh here for a change?

Prediction:
Bethell switches team to come and lead us. His run takes us into the final, beating South Africa.

The Aussie team would love to have Duckett, Root, Brook and Smith.....
The WTC was fantastic and possibly the greatest thing ever for south african red-ball cricket. It showed how the longest format is ideally suited for a World cup. No months-long group stage but straight knock-out cricket. I would add semi finals and then quarters for an 8-team world cup.
Qualifying should be somewhat based on rankings but leading to a qualifying series. Pointless loss-making randomn two-match series are not going to continue. Ireland can play tests but rarely want to. If they scheduled a test againts WI, they would lose money because no one cares. But if the winner qualified for the WTC that would be very very different.

You keep your head stuck in the sand, but you know there's issues when English fans wouldn't swap Zak Crawley for an Aussie opener!!
We'd take the bowling line up though, but whether they can keep bailing out that horrific batting unit (well they couldn't at Lord's) remains to be seen.

If pak-nz is a semi in your calculations, how are both of them not in the final?

Who did we beat?

Because 1 beating the other might mean they get a spot but giving them 1 each means neither do

I think I gave you both games vs Sri Lanka at home, or maybe 1 of those and 1 vs Bangers

Yeah but you’re playing your over 75s now

With the new look team we have, I can see us winning against both those teams (and even pushing some of the others)

I do think those teams are mildly on the rise too, well not Bangers really but they're tough at home

Duckett, Brook and Smith are unproven in Australia and could turn out to be duds over there. They are still early in their careers.
Honestly speaking, Australia would only take Root out of the four.
