This social media user spoke about the planning of the Aussies.
Dear Aussies, loved the way you planned out each delivery in the last 8 overs. Splendid field placements and well executed death bowling from Cummins and Starc. Tempted the Windies batsmen to commit mistakes. Now that's what a champion side does.#AUSvWI #CWC19 @CricketAus
