All
eyes
on
David
That
brings
Tim
David
into
the
fray,
a
burly
Singapore-born
batter
who
hit
16
of
the
86
balls
he
faced
in
the
IPL
in
2022
for
six.
Finch
has
largely
used
him
at
six
in
the
early
days
of
his
T20
international
career,
marking
a
subtle
shift
in
orthodoxy
that
has
seen
power
hitters
traditionally
placed
high
in
the
order
and
former
New
Zealand
captain
Ross
Taylor
has
already
said
that
David
is
one
of
the
players
to
watch
out
for
in
this
edition
of
the
World
Cup
Down
Under.
Warner
the
key
In
batting
David
Warner
will
be
the
key
once
again.
The
opener’s
three
half-centuries
and
289
runs
were
pivotal
to
the
2021
triumph.
This
month
the
left-hander
smacked
75
against
West
Indies
and
73
against
England
to
suggest
he
is
rounding
into
form
once
again.
The
batting
order
is
finely
balanced
between
power
and
poise,
with
skipper
Finch
offering
a
steady
hand
on
the
tiller
and
Matthew
Wade
one
of
the
finest
finishers
in
the
game.
They
will
hope
to
see
a
change
in
fortunes
for
Glenn
Maxwell
and
that
David
comes
off
on
major
event
debut.
Lethal
Cummins
Australia’s
pace
attack
have
reinvented
themselves
in
the
T20
format
with
the
outstanding
Pat
Cummins
capable
of
taking
the
ball
in
any
given
situation.
Josh
Hazelwood
and
Mitchell
Starc
combine
to
form
a
peerless
battery
that
will
make
merry
on
bouncy
tracks.
However
concerns
remain
over
the
spin
bowling
department
and
an
over-reliance
on
Adam
Zampa.
Task
cut
out
for
Finch
Australia
did
not
start
well
at
the
T20
World
Cup
in
the
inaugural
edition
in
2007,
with
their
first
game
ended
in
five-wicket
defeat
to
Zimbabwe.
They
recovered
to
make
the
semifinals
and
their
turbulent
relationship
with
T20
continued
with
a
group-stage
exit
in
2009.
Australia
were
well
beaten
by
rivals
England
in
the
2010
final
and
reached
the
semifinals
in
2012.
It
looked
like
they
had
been
left
behind
by
the
rest
of
the
world
when
they
failed
to
navigate
the
Super
10
in
both
2014
and
2016
but
a
rousing
run
to
the
final
last
year
wiped
the
slate
clean.
So
Finch
has
his
task
cut
out
this
time!
