Bairstow gone for 8

Come on England, put these aussies to the sword.

Decent start.

55/1 at the end of the pp

Big blow Buttler gone

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:37 pm

Poor shot from Buttler to get him out after batting so well

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:53 pm

I've always said Morgan goes for nothing or goes big.....nothing inbetween.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 6:54 pm

Banton gone early, followed by Morgan, 91-4 in the 12th, tough to put a score on the board from here.

And I think he knew it has he walked off

Wickets & run rate falling, what kind of score are we happy with ?

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 7:09 pm

And now the Aussies " win at all costs" are appealing for hit wicket when it was their own keeper who knocked off the bails.....nothing changes.

160 keeps us in the game, but we'll need a few early wickets defending that sort of total. Even that looks a long way away T Curran gone now.

125-6 and only 3 overs remaining.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 7:15 pm

Wish Pieterson would go home
Need Woakes Stokes and Root back
2 batsmen have got into double figures with this team against the Aussies who have had no cricket for months we are way behind them

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 7:17 pm

Why Cummings not back with Starc

What is Tom Currans purpose in life? He is dreadful

Good call Tiger, now down to the fielders & bowlers.

Absolutely. Appalling commentary from him. Never shuts up. And when he does speak it's so repetitive and inane.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 7:34 pm

It least we've got a chance, still make the Aussies favourites though, so much for the theory of the Aussies being rusty due to their lack of cricket.

Thanks goodness for Malan and Buttler, the rest were poor.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 7:59 pm

Genuine question. Is Archer a good bowler or just a very quick bowler ?

I know what you mean but all the top cricketers think he’s one of the best, time will tell.

I guess so, only his record will tell us, I'm not convinced.

Looking down the barrel here, all too easy for the aussies

Any danger Adil?

Enough pies.... bowl something decent.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:31 pm

This is a hiding, the Aussies are cantering to victory here.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:42 pm

Finally a wicket for Archer, but the horse has well and truly bolted on this game. they only need 65 in 9 overs, that'll be a cakewalk.

Warner and Smith batting, KP on commentary.

Any footy on??

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:56 pm

Aussies are a far better side than Pakistan and at least the bowling from both sides has been more orthodox and of a decent standard.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:59 pm

Smith and Maxwell go in a few deliveries

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:00 pm

Rachid does get wickets

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:01 pm

And another one
4 gone

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:04 pm

Funny game they were cruising and then 3 go down in a matter of minutes, still think they'll get over the line though.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:07 pm

They’ll win it but not as easily as it was looking.

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:08 pm

Wood strikes

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:09 pm

Are you sure they've completely imploded in the last half hour, 30 off 21 but two new batsman in.

I was hoping they would prove me wrong but still think they will get these runs

Last over Aussies need 15

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:29 pm

If England pull this off it'll be a helluva of a win.

Very very rare to see Australia collapse like that. All credit to our lads.

Aussies miss their big chance, we will bat better in the next game.
