Saffers have had climate going against their way or miscalculations but whereas we play bad, reminds of the days of Ganguly captaincy.. we will win all stupid series but falter in ICC tourneys. First Champions Trophy against NZ, which we should've won had we not been complacent, allowed Cairns & Harris to toy us around. Then in 2003 finals, where Zaheer lost the plot from very 1st ball & never recovered. Under MSD our fortune changed a bit, only to falter again since 2015

It's good Aus cricket don't have much fans

They don't care even if their team wins WC

they lost many of their fans after the sandpaper gate, people were furious in Aus for them cheating.

I still didn't understand though how did Naib's slowing down help Afghanistan 

Afghans were 2 runs ahead in D/L method at that stage, rain was around the corner. So, if match stopped & couldn't resume, Afghans would have won by 2 runs.

Congrats Afghanistan and Rashid

Yesterday very bad captaincy

Giving 4 overs to Stoinis when he was conceding runs was

There was Maxwell also as bowling option

He seemed overconfident

And also did not contribute much by batting

They did not make Cummins as captain may be for workload and he did not have T20 captaincy experience

But TBH Cummins captaincy was good in CWC 2023  

Cummins is not a certainty for T20's for Aus. He wasn't part of the playing XI in their first match & didn't play many T20's either.

Yes

That's why they did not chose him as captain

I am not saying he should be captain for all formats but definitely someone over Marsh

But in CWC Final his captaincy was best

Also the support in Aus vs Afg CWC 2023 match
