Actually you will find that the final is to be played in Melbourne, ensuring Australia will be featured at the final.

England are the number 1 seed, so according to the data every team has less chance of winning the tournament than them.

Yeah people are throwing shade because of the speed wobbles we've had in runchases but ultimately we won all of them and we're one of the few teams going through that have had multiple close games let alone come out on the winning side of them.

Most run chases are going to have speed wobbles anyway. The main thing is the job gets done in the end. You're not going to see a perfect run chase unless you're playing England.

It is in Australia. Generally as a shortening of Australian(s) - I would find it odd if some one said Western Aussie instead of Western Australia for example.

yeah I wouldn't call it Aussie geographically, but when talking about it as a nation (of people) or a collection of people its pretty common to say Aussie

My Kiwi cousins refer to Australia as Aussie all of the time. I never knew it was a thing until they started talking about going back to Aussie.

Not as bad as an American trying to casually use 'oval office' in conversation like we tend to in NZ and Australia...*shudder*.

American cunts are funny. I was watching a film the other day, one of the Saw films I think so not exactly a conversational oval office, and Shawnee Smith called someone a oval office and it sounded so wrong.

Hey leave us alone! It's a seriously horrible word to use here so most of us don't have much practice.

I'm told you Aussies like to have a good chuckle at us "rooting" for sports teams ;)

It's meant to be horrifically offensive when used, so it can be pretty disturbing.
