It is a day from the game, and still going to the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore when Australia or England N route may be impossible. The security of the President-style covers the sides between the hotel and the newly constructed ground. The ticketing website and resale sites were overwhelmed as soon as the ticket was issued for this competition, and then once more tickets were provided.
A car reached the gate, a full mile from the entrance of the stadium. A policeman squint a long squint in the windshield, and nodded his head. “Wrong type of sticker,” he firmly said. “You can’t enter here, park alone here.” In Pakistan, this game is a big thing, which is certainly large for any other side of this tournament.
“I think it’s irrelevant, in fact,” Smith said on Friday. “This is another event. You have been focused on that first game. In our last World Cup, we were a little slow to start. We were really under the pump. And then we are our best cricket backwards. Bring the end of the tournament, which you need in the World Cup.
“Champions trophies are very different. You can’t slow down to start. You have been right in your work from the beginning. This is our message for the group and people are excited about starting last night against England. .
Back as Australian captain in an incredible redemptive arc, Vijay may be another bit of silver pot for a heavy Australian Trophy cabinet, but is taking his side for it, he himself is taking his side, he himself is a prized career for man Will be attracted.
“I am very relaxed,” Smith said. “When you are playing in international programs and big tournaments, there is always pressure. It is clear that we are clearly remembering some fast bowlers of our gun, but we are not worried about it. We are not worried about it. We are not worried about it. Wondering what we have got here and opportunities that they have.
“There are some quality players in the room who are almost playing in their first major event, I think they are looking forward and I am looking forward. It will be great to see them under pressure. Something good to see them. Some Quality opposition, and this is going to be an exciting time for us. “
England could not have a terrible opposition to this format between 2015 and 2019, the party who blamed Australia, which remains for their only World Cup semi -final defeat. However, this indicates what each party expects from the squad bringing each side to this tournament that England announced about two days from their initial XI -specific batting positions and all – while Australia is as much as possible Wants that much information.
“We are very clear where we are at the top,” Smith said, to some extent unrelatedly. “But we will name it [the side] Tomorrow at the toss. I need to keep an eye on the surface when we also get an opportunity. We are very clear where we want to go, but we will name it tomorrow. ,
Smith was hit in the box in the nets on Friday, but after some initial inconvenience, it has been approved to face England. He missed the first training session through the disease, and said that he had not yet seen the surface when he spoke to the media.
“England is a great side,” Smith said. “They have been a very good white ball team for a long time and we are eager to start their campaign against them tomorrow. Hopefully it is a bail of a game.”
But, as every aspect is well aware of in this tournament, in these circumstances there is only so much debate about the fine technical points of strength and weakness about an Australian side. Like real Madrid in the Champions League of Football, all sometimes matters that walking through the DNA of this particular unit is an ancient, the knowledge received is passed by generations, a which is a glory in the ICC event after the ICC event Brightens the route for.
No wonder, then, that Smith, whom Destiny once again emphasizes in the role of the main Australian character against England, is quite comfortable.
